How do Moz tools handle signs for "PHRASE" and [EXACT MATCH] KW queries?
-
Hello,
As some of my projects are in competitive niche markets, I often chase exact match KW to handle with.
However, when using 'Moz >> Keyword Difficulty Report' I'm getting SAME Search Volume result - regardless using broad match, phrase or exact match KWs. Have I missed something?
Ranking result's and are however different and seems to correspond to different type of KW search ( which type of KW all its.
Please share some light on this.

The reply to the question is in reference to the 'Keyword Difficulty Tool'. For my own clarification does the statement "...our system automatically assumes whatever you enter as exact match by default." apply to all the MOZ tools, specifically the 'Keyword Ranking Reports'?
Searching on Google for the following, phase1tech.com comes up in the positions indicated:
CameraLink Cameras (#12)
"CameraLink Cameras" (#5)
[CameraLink Cameras] (#12) (it is my understanding that you can't do an exact match search on Google)MOZ's 'Keyword Ranking Tool/Report' indicates they are at positions #5. As such I assume the results are based on "exact match".
If that is the case I am wondering how many users actually use quotes when performing their searches. -
Hi there!
Thanks for reaching out to us! That's a great question What you are seeing in the keyword difficulty search is our tool using an exact match query into our funnel to pull your data, which is how our tool queries the search engines. Since we don't do broad matching on our end, that's the reason you are seeing identical search volumes. So while you are correct in using exact match quotations "." our system automatically assumes whatever you enter as exact match by default.
That of course I am seeing in some of the ranking results in your account, where small differences such as "woman" vs. "women" will pull up different results as the case that they are different words. Since our tools uses exact match as a default there would be no need to use quotation or brackets to direct us to pull exact matches
Best,

What exactly is Moz Analytics?
I've taken a look at this page - http://moz.com/products/tour and I'm trying to determine if Moz Analytics is live yet? I don't think it is, just wanted to make sure. Because right now I'm just seeing all the same tools as we've always had + Fresh Web Explorer. Anyways, let me know if I'm missing something.

Problem with the keyword difficulty tool
sorry if this has been asked/been written about previously, I had a search but couldn't find anything. I am using the keyword difficulty tool to narrow down on some keywords and whilst the % score for each keyword is being displayed, the Google Adwords data is blank. It just shows the animation as if it was pulling the data but after some ten mins or so not data is pulled, just the animation still running. Is there a problem with the tool or does the problem lay at my end? Thanks, Carl

For the "On Page Report Card", Can I see a list of all of the recommendations?
On the "On Page Repord Card", in the "Page Analysis Detail" section, I can click "Read More" for each factor and see a "Recommendation" on how to fix the page to meet that factors criteria. Are these recommendations the same everytime or will they vary depending on the page itself? Can get a copy of each recommendation that would appear if none of the criteria were met? Thanks, Daniel.

Convince me to stay! How should I best use SEOMoz tools.
Hey folks. I'm here on a free trial and I'm really loving the Q&A forum. I've learned a lot in the last couple of days. I've been playing around with the SEOMoz tools and campaigns and I'm trying to decide if it will be worth it for me to pay the monthly fee to continue with these once my trial is up. I direct two main websites. One is an informational site and the other is a real estate site. I've started a campaign for each and so far we're still waiting for a crawl. (I'm assuming that will happen on Sunday). I've played around with some of the tools. They keyword difficulty tool is cool but I can't see me using it a whole lot. The rest is just a little overwhelming...I'm not sure where to start. So what should I be checking out next? Have at 'er and convince me to stay!
