Is it true that google moved to ssl encrypted protocol and doesn't release keyword data anymore?
-
Hi,
I have a couple trivial questions regarding google search and the way Moz keyword reports are working.1/ is it true that google moved to ssl encrypted protocol and doesn't release keyword data anymore?
2/ if so than how Moz still manages to collect this data? Is it because of api or some other “deal” with them? Or you're paying for it.
3/ Why is “traffic from organic search” only for one week? Or I am missing something .

It would be great to:
a/ go month by month (my client is requiring monthly reports)
b/ compare one week/month with another to see if it's getting better or worse.Thanks in advance,

Thank you Keri, I really appreciate you took time to answer my question so quickly.

The vast majority of keyword data from Google is now "not provided". There is still some that gets through, though less with every month. Data you're seeing is from the keywords that still get through, plus the keywords from other search engines.
We are working on monthly reporting (and you can get some monthly reporting via custom reports), but it's not available in general just yet. It's a high-priority project, as we realize it is an important feature.

How frequently is the Search Volume update for each keyword? API for Search Volume?
Subject pretty much says it all... How frequently is the Search Volume update for a given keyword? Is there an API call that would include keyword-specific Search Volume for one or more keywords? Thank you.

Google business stats
Can't seem to find an effective way of automating Google business stats (calls, directions, website clicks, ranking) across my SEO client profiles. I'd like to present these stats in conjunction with MOZ aggregated stats. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks,

Moz Not Accounting for Google Tags
The main problem I have is that the most serious issues facing my site have been dealt with using Google Tags, but Moz doesn't take this into account (this has been verified by a Moz employee) so I can't get an accurate account of what crawl issues need fixing and which ones are resolved. Does anyone know a way to make Moz Tools account for Google Tags?

September's Mozscape Update Broke; We're Building a New Index
Hey gang, I hate to write to you all again with more bad news, but such is life. Our big data team produced an index this week but, upon analysis, found that our crawlers had encountered a massive number of non-200 URLs, which meant this index was not only smaller, but also weirdly biased. PA and DA scores were way off, coverage of the right URLs went haywire, and our metrics that we use to gauge quality told us this index simply was not good enough to launch. Thus, we're in the process of rebuilding an index as fast as possible, but this takes, at minimum 19-20 days, and may take as long as 30 days. This sucks. There's no excuse. We need to do better and we owe all of you and all of the folks who use Mozscape better, more reliable updates. I'm embarassed and so is the team. We all want to deliver the best product, but continue to find problems we didn't account for, and have to go back and build systems in our software to look for them. In the spirit of transparency (not as an excuse), the problem appears to be a large number of new subdomains that found their way into our crawlers and exposed us to issues fetching robots.txt files that timed out and stalled our crawlers. In addition, some new portions of the link graph we crawled exposed us to websites/pages that we need to find ways to exclude, as these abuse our metrics for prioritizing crawls (aka PageRank, much like Google, but they're obviously much more sophisticated and experienced with this) and bias us to junky stuff which keeps us from getting to the good stuff we need. We have dozens of ideas to fix this, and we've managed to fix problems like this in the past (prior issues like .cn domains overwhelming our index, link wheels and webspam holes, etc plagued us and have been addressed, but every couple indices it seems we face a new challenge like this). Our biggest issue is one of monitoring and processing times. We don't see what's in a web index until it's finished processing, which means we don't know if we're building a good index until it's done. It's a lot of work to re-build the processing system so there can be visibility at checkpoints, but that appears to be necessary right now. Unfortunately, it takes time away from building the new, realtime version of our index (which is what we really want to finish and launch!). Such is the frustration of trying to tweak an old system while simultaneously working on a new, better one. Tradeoffs have to be made. For now, we're prioritizing fixing the old Mozscape system, getting a new index out as soon as possible, and then working to improve visibility and our crawl rules. I'm happy to answer any and all questions, and you have my deep, regretful apologies for once again letting you down. We will continue to do everything in our power to improve and fix these ongoing problems.

Can't remove "insights" section from report.
The items in the "insights" section of the Moz report have an "x" which can be clicked in the designer to dismiss this data from the report. However, these items still shows up in the report anyways. Buggy. How can we work around this bug?
