Welcome to the Q&A Forum

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?

Hello, Abe here on the SEOmoz Help Team. I had to do some detective work with this exact same issue a month ago and came up with a crazy solution. I hope this works in your case. If the issue is not cache and cookies, check the calendar on your computer and make sure the time and date for your location are accurate. If the date is set ahead at all from the time zone of your IP address, OSE can return a redirect loop (I think gmail is affected by this too). Please test this out, confirm the accuracy of the date, and let me know if you are still getting the redirect loop message.

Hello,

Unfortunately you will have to organize those links on your own at this time. We do not have this functionality for any of our exported CSVs as of yet. I do apologize for any inconvenience here, we hope to add further organization capabilities to our exports in the future.

Can you quickly submit your account email and campaign name to help@seomoz.org so we can take a look at this? We are not aware of any Rankings outgoes to my knowledge.

Hello Franky,

Yes, our crawler obeys robots.txt files. If you recently made that change to your robots then it should reflect in your next crawl. If this error doesn't go away, feel free to let us know help@seomoz.org. Thanks for letting us know!

Hello Aleksandar,

I am so sorry that you are running into some issues with our web tools. Rankings, Rank Tracker and our Keyword Difficulty tool all ran into these unexpected outage issues. Unfortunately, Google has changed the way that they present rankings information, so we have had to make some changes to our collection in order to keep up with these changes, I'm afraid that this has caused some issues with providing the real time data for our Rankings and the Keyword Difficulty tool is also currently unresponsive. Our engineers are working tirelessly through this holiday weekend to fix this for you.  At this time, unfortunately, we do not have an ETA for when that tool will be up and running again. I thank you for your patience while we work to resolve this issue and I will update you when I have any further information for you. I am hoping for an ETA soon.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and I assure you that this is our Top Priority.

Best,

Abe Schmidt

Hello James,

Our Rankings ran into these unexpected outage issues last week. Unfortunately, Google has changed the way that they present rankings information, so we have had to make some changes to our collection in order to keep up with these changes, I'm afraid that this has caused some issues with providing the real time data for our Rankings and the Keyword Difficulty tool is also currently unresponsive. Our engineers are working tirelessly through this holiday weekend to fix this for you.  At this time, unfortunately, we do not have an ETA for when that tool will be up and running again.

Hello Dana,

These are all great questions! It does in fact look like your particular campaign is set up to track the root domain. Since your web address redirects to the subdomain version with the www, it would be best practice to set your campaign up under the subdomain settings and leave the competitors the way they are. Yes, this will mean setting up a new campaign unfortunately.

Luckily, you can copy and paste your keywords into an excel document stacked on top of one another and copy and paste them all in to your Manage Keywords section, saving tons of time. This whole process will definitely be worth it and you will start pulling the correct data. Sorry for any inconveniences. Please let me know if you need anything else!

Oleg could be correct. Also, the twitter counts towards likes for the specific page (In this case, just the homepage) instead of the entire website. More information on the specific site would be useful. If you don't wish to publicly share this information, you can email help@seomoz.org and we'd be happy to answer once we have the detailed information.

Hello Fred,

I would love to look at this for you. I'm going to create a customer service ticket for you so we can make sure this isn't a mistake on our end.

Talk to you soon!
