Keyword difficulty percentage changes from day to day
-
Hello Mozzers.
First time caller, long time listener.
Just a quick query I hope. Why do keyword difficulty percentages in the keyword difficulty report change drastically sometimes when the report is run from one day to another? Thanks for your help.
Thanks for your help.

Yes, this is correct.

Hi Abe,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I think I understand, so you're saying that say for example, one of the pages changed their meta description, or they got a couple more links pointed at them, then this would change the difficulty percentage?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello David! Welcome to Q&A, I love your intro!
To answer your question, the results change often for Keyword Difficulty because the algorithm is based on the other sites in the top results that the keyword is competing with. For example, a site other than your site goes down in rankings or Domain Authority, the Keyword Difficulty percentage would change because of this. There are several factors involved in the algorithm we use, but I find this the easiest way to explain it. Does this help?

Is There a Tool to Link Moz Keyword Rankings With Google Adwords Campaigns?
I wanted to know if there is a tool or other way to automatically link my Moz keyword rankings with my Google Adwords account for the purpose of allowing me to "pause" Adwords campaigns for keywords for which I rank well in the SERP's and to "activate" Adwords for keywords for which I do not rank well. Since these rankings can change from week to week, it would be great to be able to turn on and off Adwords for specific keywords depending upon my rankings that week.

Why would my domain authority keep changing when I refresh?
Hi All, I've noticed that my domain authority is changing every time I refresh SEO MOz. In some instances it increases and other time stays the same as a previous month. Is this just a mid-transitional stage? or is there a potential bug in the system? It's making it difficult to know what is really happening.
