      Hi guys,

      It's my first day here ate seomoz and I got intrigued about the results from the keyword difficulty tool.

      Even though I do understand the results, I noticed the ranking analysis table has some highlighted cells and some of them have a dark checkmark sign inside. What exactly do they mean?

      I couldn't find it anywhere.

      Cheers from Brazil.

        The dark check signifies that that url is the ranking url for that metric. So in your example here, 38 is the highest page authority and three urls are tied with one linking root domain each, and so forth.

        The highlighting simply gives you a visual as to who is higher or lower (darker equal higher).

        Glad to have you here with us in the land of Moz..

        Best
