KW Difficulty Daily Limit |

[WME]

Hi Keri,

Today we have noticed that KD tool is not counting the keywords correctly. For e.g. I dropped 10 kws in the KD tool and my count was '73 of 400' and after the processing (results) it went up to "96 of 400 keywords checked today".

There is not specific trend but its not counting the processed kws correctly. Please advise.

Thanks

Zovi, we're discussing internally what to do, and we'll update as soon as we have more information.

Thanks for letting us know, I'll pass that along to the engineers.

Thanks. I'm no coder, but I have managed to sort out the API to get all the data I need for one URL, but now I have to scrape the top 10 urls in Google  for hundreds of keywords. So having the difficulty metric in the API would be awesome -  even if it 'costs' 10 lines of API useage.

Hi! There have been meetings internally about this, and we've made one change today (with more discussions to happen).

If you have an account higher than the Standard $99 a month subscription (so Medium or above), you'll get 750 keywords a day.

Feedback we'd like from you, if you haven't already shared it, is if you are using this tool in bulk, how do you use it? Do you generate full reports? Export multiple data points? Just using difficulty scores? Running daily, or large batches weekly or monthly?

Thank you!

I just updated to Medium.  After confirming the update went through and logging in and out a few times, the Keyword Difficulty tool still says 'We're sorry. Currently we are only able to offer results for 400 keywords per user per day. Please come back tomorrow.'

On the home tab it says I have used 44/750.  Anything I can do to enable the difficulty tool?

Thanks

There are some days that we need more than 400 requests. Maybe it's an option to define a week limit? (400*7=2800 requests a week)

Thanks, I appreciate that.  Echoing Adwise_Internetmarketing below, I don't use the difficulty tool everyday but when I use it to run reports I often need more than 400 requests.  A weekly or monthly limit would work well.  Also, I really don't use any of the other tools.  A 'just the difficulty tool' package would be nice.  You could sell the tools a la carte.  You guys know marketing so I'm sure you can see how that could work to get people into your funnel.

"how do you use it? Do you generate full reports? Export multiple data points? Just using difficulty scores? Running daily, or large batches weekly or monthly?"

I use it to get the % difficulty of keywords. I don;t use the light reports.. I use about 200-300 full reports a month. I would be very happy to have the difficulty score in the API.. as now I am using the Moz API to get more data faster. I would like to get at least 50-100k difficulty scores per month.. More would be better.

And yes, I would be keep to have a keyword analysis only package. I've never used the other products.

I reached my limit yesterday which was frustrating as my keyword research project will now takes days rather than hours... I logged back in this morning and it still says "come back tomorrow"? I am in Australia, how does this work, is it 24 hours from it reaching the limit or between 12am to 11:59pm and is that based on the time in the US or the country from which you access the tool?

Hi there,

Sorry for the frustration. The Keyword Difficulty credits reset at 12:00 am GMT, regardless of your local time. Definitely let us know if you have any other questions. Best of luck with the keyword research.

Out of interest, I have stopped using the tool altogether now. I use SEO cockpit for keyword research.

I wish I could still be using Moz, but its just so limited there is not point.
