          What exactly does this mean? That the service is down? Or the score will never be available?

          It seems like I get that and then the tool gets stuck and I get no other data.

              Hi Johnathan,

              We know that it is down, and we're working on it. I thought that the messaging was changed to let people know it would be longer than 20 minutes. I'm not sure of the current ETA for a fix now, but we are working on it, and have been all weekend. We're keeping the Twitter feed updated when we have information, and you're also welcome to create a help ticket -- we'll let you know when it's fixed if you do that.

              Thanks!

              Keri

                      They are aware of the issue.  Their twitter stream https://twitter.com/SEOmoz has a tweet from 8/31 about the issue:

                      "Uh oh. It looks like our Keyword Difficulty Tool is having some.... difficulty. We're working on it now. Stay tuned, friends."

                      So they are working on it!  It is labor day weekend so it may take em a little extra time to get it up and going.

                      In the meantime, if you are in dire need of KW difficulty, you can get some basic insight the following ways:

                      Use Google Keyword Tool and look at the "Competition" level.  While this area refers to competition within Adwords - this can also give you a basic idea of how competitive the keyword is overall.  If it's a highly competitive Adwords term, chances are likely that SEOs are after it organically as well.

                      Do a quick check of the organic SERPs and check out the domains in the top placements or even on the entire first page.  Are these really high authority domains, how well optimized are they, etc.

                        Same problem still. I am sure SEOMoz team is already aware of the issue and working on it.

                        Uh oh... there was a temporary problem gathering Analysis data for your request. Sorry about that! We're actively looking into resolving these intermittent issues, but in the meantime, try submitting your request again in 20 minutes. Thank you!

                            travel industry

                            My question is regarding my current learning of SEO and keyword research. I have been leaning towards Keyword Everywhere, SEMrush, and Google Keyword Planner for keyword research. What do you recommend? I know you might suggest Moz, but I'm looking for something that will enhance and help me find valuable keywords for the travel niche. If I sign up with Moz, will someone from the team help me with keyword research for the travel niche and my website? I haven't found any resources or lessons specifically focused on travel websites and their keywords.

                            Solved How to reduce the spam score for my domain?

                            spam score

                            My domain  longfeifei.com is for a regular company website and someone sent a lot of external links on different low-quality websites on the internet. Now the score is very high about 75%. If I disavow the unusual links from google search console. Is it possible to reduce the spam score? Is MOZ associated with GOOGLE Data? Thanks,

                            What's the best way to search keywords for Youtube using Moz Keyword explorer?

                            I want to optimize my youtube channel using identified keywords, but I'm concerned that the keywords I'm identifying work well for SERP's but might not be how people search in Youtube. How do a distinguish my keywords to be targeted for Youtube?

                            MoZ vs SEMRush - Keyword Difficulty and Keyword With Low Competition.

                            Hi, My question is very focussed regarding these 2 tools. Is it correct to understand that MoZ tells keyword difficulty and not which keyword is easy to compete. And SEMRush tells which keyword is easy to compete but does not tell which keywords are difficult to compete? I mean one (Moz)  misses the one part and the other (SEMRush) misses the other part. Hope some will enlighten me to the point. Best

                            Why are my keyword rankings dramatically changing week to week?

                            I have a site (actual several) that has been up for many years now. Content is changed monthly - regularly. It would always rank in the top 5 positions for 5 or 6 keywords. Now all of a sudden (without any dramatic changes to the website) my ranking results from my weekly Moz reports are dramatically different from week to week - every week. One Keyword will be #1, then the next week it will drop 49 positions, the 3rd week it might be #5, then Not in the Top 50, then #1 again, and so and so on. This happens to all my keywords on my site. I was waiting for Google to finish it's changes to it's algorithms but it's now been long enough and I can't get a handle on what's happening, why it's happening, and what to do about it, and what direction to take with my SEO. My Traffic has actually improved over last year by approx. 25%, but I have also started a PPC campaign for this client. Any suggestions would be great.

                            Since Google Analytics no longer shows the keywords used by people to find a site online, does the SEOMoz toolset provide somethng to show this data?

                            Can someone point me to the official article explaining why meta keywords are no longer taken into account by search engines please? I know Moz has indicated that search engines ignore them, but I would like to read a bit more about it - what was the reason behind it and since when.
