Moz Tool Bar Annoyance - How do I make the green keyword difficulty box go away?
-
A highly annoying light green keyword difficulty box just started showing up to the right of the search box. How do I make this go away?

Glad the reinstall got it working for you. There's always the API route too for more custom needs. I'm a long time user as well but can get why they alter tools to display more of their toolset. It's likely a tested value-add for many and newer subscribers. Cheers!

Thanks, Jamie. So uninstalling and re-installing did the trick. Thank you. There is now a whole "new" look. My Mozbar used to provide data on black backgrounds. This is now light grey - and the three modes you describe now work. I have to tell you, I really long for the "old Moz days" when the tools were straightforward and simple. They accomplished very specific tasks. So you used a series of them independently, but they were elegant in their simplicity. Nowadays, Moz tools are so over-designed to try to "do" everything for you all at once. Why we need 3 different modes for a toolbar is beyond me. Sigh. If I could have the old Linkscape interface back, I would take it in a minute. I would also take back the old Rank Tracker. I would change OSE back so you can see the full URLs of your backlinks on screen without having to download all the time. Longing for the good ole days. #rantover

Hi Jen,
Do you have the bar in "DA mode?"
Click it once to put the bar into DA mode which is "half off" or click it again to disable it.
If you don't get those different modes when clicking the "M" button I would uninstall and reinstall the chrome ext.

Hmm. Could be a bug because for me it stays off while using Chrome as a browser. Can you share your browser and OS specs? Staff should be able to better trouble shoot after that. Cheers!

Thank you, Ryan. But, that does not make it go away permanently. Every time I enter a query, it reappears. I'm a Pro member since the days of Linkscape and I am usually signed in. This is so highly annoying, especially since I have to screen grab a lot. I have been using the Moz Tool Bar since inception and this just started happening. Was there a new release? At this point, I am going to uninstall the extension and use OSE directly. If someone knows how to disable this permanently, please advise.

Hi Jen. If you click the Moz "M" to turn off the tool bar it will go away. Click it on if you want it and other features to display again. Cheers!

How can I print out the keyword ranking chart?
I have been working diligently on these keywords. Not a lot of them but trying to get very specific. I have one that has traditionally been very high for our site and in one day it dropped from 2 to past 50+ when I reviewed the history I was unable to find any place to print or download the graph for the history or any place to print a report for our keyword rankings.

Keyword Stuffing Count Differs to Source Code
Moz's on page grader counts 33 instances of a keyword however, when looking into the source code I only find 8. I have checked if capitalization affects the find feature when viewing the source code and it doesn't. Has anyone else come across this issue and found an explanation?

Is Keyword Difficulty tool algorithm changed ?
I'm very confused about this. From today, I realized that your algorithm for this tool changed. For example, I have search KC for this keyword before: suitcases for kids has KC is 23. But today I checked it again and it's 43. How can I deal with this new data? Is KC is good for determine that a keyword is easy to rank for ?

New Spam Analysis Tool Results Questions
First off, I am incredibly excited about this tool. Secondly, I have a slew of questions, but the ones that are lingering for me are as follows. There are a few URLS that we used to control which are showing up in our list as spammy. The websites no longer exist as of roughly a week ago and I presume they still show up simply because of the last indexing. That being said, if a website doesn't exist anymore, yet the link is showing up in our GWMT or MOZ, is it still necessary to disavow? Is that overkill? http://alcoholdrugrehablosangeles.com/ is an example of a website we used to control and I have removed. My second lingering question is if there are a handful of links that are registering as spammy, and I presume it is due to lack of content/duplicate content, and I move that content to its appropriate place on another website and 301 that domain to its new home, will the "spam score" carry over?

Keyword Ranking Report Blank
I have a custom ranking report set up to run every month. The module that shows the overall changes (how many improved, how many dropped, number in rank #1-3, etc.) populates with data, but the keyword ranking for tracked keywords listing is blank for all keywords, all search engines. I haven't changed anything in my campaigns - why is this reporting blank? Thanks!

Have there been recent changes to the On-Page Grader tool?
I use this page all the time to grade my primary and secondary keywords and for four years now have consistently managed to achieve A-C grades for all. Today however, I noticed I am flagging F grades for 50% of the keywords. I do make a note of the initial grades for all pages (as the majority of the keywords I grade using the tool are NOT added/tracked in MOZ 'campaigns'). To make sure I wasn't going mad I went back and graded some keywords I had achieved A-C grades for just 6 days ago. The changes are as follows: keyword 1 initially graded an A - 6 days later is still an A keyword 2 initially graded C and is now graded as an F keyword 3 initially graded C and now an F keyword 4 initially a C grade and now an F keyword 5 initially a B grade and has remained a B. Out of interest I then went and added one of the keywords that is now graded an F (but last week was a C) into the 'Add and manage Page Grades' section and graded once again - it's now grading this as a C. I then removed this keyword from my tracked keywords and graded again using the 'On-Page Grader' tool and ... it's back down to an 'F'. Please could you shed some light on what's going on? I don't want to track each keyword I grade over time but I do want the parameters for grading to remain the same if I use the 'On-Page Grader' tool - what's changed? I haven't received any alerts about any changes to the tool so if anyone could shed some light on any changes I would appreciate it.
