Keyword Difficulty Tool
-
Hello,
I've been using the above more and more - with some great results.
I have just run a report for a brand term and that brand has the new style sitelinks - 12 in total.
So the output from the Keyword Difficulty Tool is focussed solely on the main url and then 9 sitelinks, rather than 10 different domains.
Is there anyway around this? What do people think I should do?
Is it:
a) ok to use the output or
b) because the output is skewed to one domain is the data not robust enough or...
c) something else??
Thanks
Alex

Hey Alex,
Sorry that you're having that issue with Keyword Difficulty! These new in-site results do seem to have thrown off our tools, so we need to consider how to address them. Obviously, in-site links take up a lot of real estate in the SERPs, so the fact that they're there does add a lot of competition. However, I'm not sure if we've decided yet how we're going to treat them in the KWD tool, so stay tuned for that. Also, if you could send an email to help@seomoz.org with your PRO email address, the KWD search you're doing, and the example SERP, we'll take a look for you ASAP. Thanks Alex!

You might also want to check out this thread with a related question about ranking reports and the new super site links. I've asked Aaron to come over here and comment as well, so the rest of the group can also have the answer.

I think you should submit this as a bug to help@seomoz.org
The tool obviously takes the links as it finds them, limited to 10, and these new sitelinks have thrown a spanner in the works

Keywords and content query
Hi we are in the process of redesigning a web site and I’m looking to ensure each of the pages are correctly optimized. I’m concerned that some of the pages do not allow for text or content . From an optimization perspective is there a general rule around the amount of text a page should have and the amount/ration of keywords they should contain? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Local Keyword Geolocation
I am really confused about how geolocation and search works. For example, I can search "Air Conditioning Repair" in Google and will get local search results depending on my geolocation. How do I set up keywords in SEOmoz "Air Conditioning Repair" and get the ranking depending on the users geolocation? Do I have to have the keyword "Sacramento Air Conditioning Repair" to get the same results if I search within the vicinity of Sacramento with the term "Air Conditioning Repair." Thanks in advance for everyones help on this question.

Two for the price of one: Can I rank for multiple keywords when only targeting one keyword?
If I'm optimizing for a specific keyword, is it accurate to assume that by ranking for that specific keyword that I will also be able to rank for similar or root keywords merely by ranking for the original keyword? For example, if I'm targeting 'free online bucket list' is it safe to assume that I will also be able to inadvertently rank for 'online bucket list' or 'free bucket list'? Can I assure clients of this? Or if I'm targeting 'Colorado grocery store' should I also naturally rank for 'grocery store Colorado' and not need to make both of these my targeted keywords?

Is there a tool that measures what keyword searches actually bring in clients?
Is there a tool to measure what keywords are bringing in clients? For instance, there is a keyword phrase with a high volume of searches so naturally I am inclined to include this phrase in my title tag. However, it does not seem like a search phrase that a potential client would use. Is there a tool to see what phrases actual clients are using?
