How long has the keyword difficulty tool had these limits in place?

[davidangotti]

While working against a tight deadline, I was surprised to see the following message:

"We're sorry. Currently we are only able to offer results for 300 keywords per user per day. Please come back tomorrow"

How long has this limit been in place and is the limit listed anywhere during the signup process? I rarely use this tool for more than 10-20 keywords at a time, so I have not run into this issue before.

Hey David! Sorry to hear that you hit that limit in the Keyword Difficulty tool when you were trying to run reports before your deadline. We should definitely look into adding language to the homepage of that tool so this limit isn't as ambiguous. We've had the 300 keyword limit for a while (maybe a year or two?) and mention it in the FAQ, but you'd have to look at the FAQ to know about it, so if you never do then it's not helpful there. Here's a link: http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/keyword-difficulty/faq.

As I mentioned, I'll talk to the team about adding clear language about the limit to the homepage of the tool. Thanks for letting us know and sorry for the inconvenience! In the future, if you need help with technical issues with the tools, please email us at help@seomoz.org. We can usually give quicker service there. Thank you! Let me know if you have any other questions.
