Ranking Changes: Google.co.uk vs Google.com vs Google.com.au?
-
Why would my website appear, for example, second for a keyword search on Google.co.uk but on a search through Google.com or Google.com.au (Australia) not appear in the Top 50?
Excuse the simplicity of the question!

I see. That's tricky then.
I suppose offering currencies for the relevant countries would be a start.
Then get links from websites in that country, and build pages for those countries. Thanks.

Your search ranking is very relevant to your location.
When you do a search in Google.co.uk think of it as if Google is adding "UK" to your search, so instead of searching for "widgets" you are searching for "widgets UK".
Google is attempting to provide the most relevant search results for their users. They recognize that even though English is spoken in Australia, England and the US, each country has different dialects, currencies, systems of measurement, etc. If I search for "widgets" as an American I expect the result page to show information in US dollars, with words spelled like "center" not "centre".
If you wish to have your results appear in other country's search, you need to perform additional SEO. Obtaining links from sites based in your target countries would be helpful, along with building pages which are optimized for those countries as well.

How much does Domain Authority effect the keywords I can rank for?
I've been doing some keyword research and i've found a few gems. My site is currently sat at a 18 domain authority up from 12, so it's great to see the improvement. Although I was wondering, if my domain authority is sat a 18, can I compete with keywords that have a difficulty of 50-60? Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂 Sam

Google Keyword Planner - Just PPC?
Morning Mozzers, Please help a layman learn. This is probably a silly question but when I look at keyword search data in Google's Keyword Planner Tool and I see "COMPETITIVE" or "LOW" am I looking at all searches inclusive of organic and PPC? I have been a bit confused by logging in through an Adwords account? At the moment to get my keyword research I am using a combination of Moz, Webmaster Tools, Keyword Planner. I have had a look at the free version of SEMrush which looks really cool. Is my approach right using these tools? Am I covering all bases / missing key opportunities? Regards Ben

What is the best way to do a one time rankings check of 10000+ keywords
Title pretty much sums it up. At the pricing moz offers this is not practical. Even at their highest tier i would only get 3700 keywords, so it would take several months to get the results.
