Keyword Difficulty Report - Google Engine selected, however system is return Bing results
-
Is there happening for anybody else??
We run a Keyword difficulty report and select Google Australia, however in the results it is showing the values for Bing search volume ... instead of Google
-
Hi Lee,
We used to be able to pull from Google's API to show keyword volume and now we are using Bing.
-
I see..
With that in mind my other suggestion would be more relevant.
To change 'Bing keyword volume exact match' to 'Google Keyword volume Match' and just put underneath that 'No Data Available'
-
Hi Lee,
The functionality is not for the keyword volume, just the keyword analysis highlighted here: http://www.screencast.com/t/ZRcUgBDbDR
Everything between the two is an extra feature.
I know it is very confusing and I am actually trying to get this updated with labels to show which search engine was used for the analysis or at least have the analysis appear directly below the drop down options.
I hope it clears things up a little.
-
Hi David,
If you can't offer that functionallity within the system why do you still have the options to select within the Drop Down menu??
And to avoid confusion with general users if you can't change the menus at least change 'Bing' results to 'Google' and just state no data available.
-
Thank you for clearing that up. That makes a lot of sense.
All the best,
Thomas

Hey Everyone!
The search volume you're looking for is pulled from Google's Adwords API. We unfortunately no longer use the AdWords API and it's unlikely that we will be getting it back. We are working on an alternative resource for that information but we have no solid time frame right now.
The data is available directly from your AdWords account as well if you need it.
That section is separate from the rest of the report so the choices you see in the drop down will not affect the volume and will always remain static on every report.
It is a little confusing and I do apologize.

Hi Lee,
When you're setting up your campaign normally you use search engines Google Australia is the secular search engine to be used.
You do not go add any other search engine's
I understand completely and so you know I set up my campaigns to run default United States and turn on all the search engines and I'm getting the same results or error that you're getting so it seems like it's universal
Below are my set up however I have used Australia has the place just to set up a dummy campaign in order to see if it makes a difference.
Just so you know in the future if you ever have an issue with you on text here you can go to
Create a ticket and let them know what the issues are. For instance I am referencing back to this exact URL where this question originally from you. And they will definitely take action.
Thank you for bringing this to the attention of everyone at Moz
Sincerely,
Thomas
Just so you know this is all I had to do to report the problem and this is what I wrote.

Hi Guy's,
I have been alerted by a gentleman Lee (referenced in the URL below) that there are issues with the keyword difficulty tool when ever a query is search the Bing volume comes up with no response regardless of the search engine selected even if it is Google's search or even yahoo.
Here is a reference to what I'm talking about Lee has done a very good job of circling the issue.

Thomas"So you know leave the photos I have added below are not linked to the help question.

Hi Thomas,
No ... we only select Google - Australia for our search engines when setting up new campaigns.
Thanks
Lee. -
Hi Lee,
Thank you for pointing that out. Amazing it seems to be default zero results and Bing for whatever we choose. It is a big issue and I will bring this to the right people to fix this issue and credit you with of course finding the issue and taking the time to explain it to me.
Thanks a lot man all the best,
Thomas

Hi Lee,
I agree with you that is a big issue keyword exact match volumes. Just for your information from using Moz for very long time I have had mixed results with the Bing or Google volume results showing up.
I imagine that for campaigns you have selected all three search engines correct?
I will alert the folks that will deal with this here at Moz
I appreciate your patience with me and explaining exactly what was the issue. Sorry about taking so long and I appreciate you taking the time to actually circle the results and show what is the real problem.
I will report this and I sincerely appreciate it.
Respectfully,
Thomas
-
Thomas,
Look closely at your Yahoo Screenshot ... see how it has return 'Bing' volume.
-
Hi Thomas,
It is not that the Moz volumes are incorrect ... it's the fact that it is not showing me the Search Engine I selected.
Please see screenshot attached where I have circled the two key points.
1. Google Australia search engine selected.
2. Bing volume displayed ( should be Google Australia)
-
Hi Lee,
I have done the same thing for Bing and Yahoo using Moz keyword difficulty tool and bases the search in Australia
The results are below. I hope this can answer some questions for you.
I hope I have been of help sincerely,
Thomas

Hi Lee,
I have done a test using Moz
And posted the results below and image format as you have done.
Selecting country Australia and getting different results than I had anticipated using SEMRush linked to below I have gotten results that may be better for you to use.
http://www.semrush.com/au/info/stump+grinding?db=au
Moz results are below
I hope this instead of help to you and helps clarify intermediate issue. I would strongly suggest using http://www.semrush.com/au/
For more relevant results if you believe that the ones coming from Moz right now are not correct. Sincerely,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
I am actually talking about the Moz tool.
http://pro.moz.com/tools/keyword-difficulty/
Please see the screen shot in the first post. We run a report on the keyword searching Google Australia as the engine.
However we are returned the 'Bing Keyword Volume Exact Match'
I would have expected the Google Keyword Volume Exact Match' ...

Moz does not always crawling your entire website depending completely on the size of the site and how long it has actually existed in the campaign. Those are two factors are what determines how much of your website is crawl by RogerBot
As far as Bing and Google being mixed up. I would check to see if it is actually possible that you are talking about the ability to rank vs volume of results.
You can do a double check by using tools such as Google ad words tool
Try

http://www.webseoanalytics.com/free/seo-tools/keyword-difficulty.php
&
https://serps.com/tools/keywords
I use http://scribecontent.com and found it to be a fantastic tool when trying to rate difficulty of keywords.
Hope this is of help sincerely,
Thomas

What I am more getting at is that we selected Google - Australia as the only engine to show volumes ...
Yet in the table the results are for Bing ... is this a bug in the website?
-
To me what happened is that this week the moz did not crawl all my web side pages missing 480 pages of a total of 2087 . It is strange to me and it neve happened before

Moz Keyword Tool Monthly Volume
Ive recently put together a Keyword List of about 100 keywords on the Moz Keyword Explorer tool. One keyword, aerial filming, stood out as very low search volume of 51 - 100. I took the same 100 keywords and passed them through the Google Keyword Planner by Google AdWords. Aerial Filming has an average search volume of 1k - 10k according to the Keyword Planner. Even though Keyword Planner gives me a range of 1k - 10k, the lowest number is still 10 times higher than what the Moz Keyword Explorer was indicating. This drastic difference of volume was consistent across all 100 keywords. All of the Monthly Volume numbers were divided by 10. Why does Moz Keyword Tool display a search volume that is 10x less than what Google Keyword Planner is suggesting?

Moz Keyword Explorer how long does it take to gather metrics
Looking at some low volume keywords, I get lots of "Gathering Metrics". These don't seem to be updating with metrics. How long does this typically take, should I set and come back in a couple of hours, overnight? Should I leave the screen open, or will this stop it working? Justin

Keyword Explorer Stuck
Is anyone else experiencing troubles with Keyword Explorer? We have several keyword lists and they keep getting frozen on "Gathering Metrics" for days, even if we had results for those particular keywords previously. Just curious to know if this is a pervasive problem and if there's some kind of an easy fix.
