      Hello!

      I set up a keyword list over a week ago and the majority of the keywords still say "Gathering Metrics." Any advice on how to get this data to populate?

      Thanks!

            "I'm experiencing an issue with my Keyword List being stuck on 'Gathering Metrics' for my application-related site. Has anyone encountered a similar situation with app-focused sites, and if so, what steps did you take to address this? I'm eager to optimize my keyword analysis specifically for applications. Your insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!"

              Thanks!

              To get keyword metrics for your list to populate, try:

              Using the latest version of the tool
              Removing any irrelevant keywords
              Breaking down your list into smaller lists
              Contacting the tool's support team

                This is complete BS: Now 5 from 12 keyword lists are stuck on "gathering metrics". That's almost half of all keywords. It's been a few days now and still nothing.

                This makes the keyword tool unusable. I have to reupload the lists so many times hoping they will populate. Sometimes this helps and one of them shows data but this way I lose time and just end up burning through my keyword allowance for the month.

                  I have this issue too. I've uploaded the keywords three different times hoping that one of the would go through. But no luck so far. It's frustrating since this is eating up my monthly keyword allowance without giving me data.

                    @mollykathariner_ms Hi there! Thank you so much for your post! And so sorry to hear you're having trouble getting that data to populate. Would you please send an email over to help@moz.com with the name of the keyword list? That way our Help Team can take a look and see what's going on.

                    Thank you so much!

                      Relevant but not-relevant keywords impact to SEO

                      keywords keyword density keyword stuffing

                      Hello, I would like to know if the selection of individual keywords(that are not primary, secondary or tertiary) are important for SEO regardless of the relevancy to the page topic. I am wondering how much of a contribution a non-P1/P2/P3 can make in terms of SEO? For example it is a product page and I have built my content with P1,P2&P3 based only on the product and its properties itself. Do you think that a content gap for the page could be the production process of that product? So even if it is a product and its properties page, I can add 2 sentences about the production, so that I can drive more traffic by including these 2 informative sentences.? EXAMPLE:
                      So lets' say my topic is "hair types" (P1) and my subtopics are "Straight," "wavy," and "curly"(P2s) which I used as subtitles. But throughout the page, I am planning to add some relevant but not-directly-relevant keywords here and there since they have high metrics and volumes. For example a potential sentence I can add: "innovative hair products these days can offer amazing results for the desired hair types". It is not specifically about "hair types" but I am using the keyword "innovative hair products" (good metrics keyword) which may help for the traffic... Another potential not-so-direct sentence can be: "For all hair types, the hair damages are common: heat damage, chemical damage and mechanical damage". Would adding this extra sentence where I am not specifically talking about "hair types" (my topic) but "hair damages" and damage examples (off-topic high metric keywords) help me to drive traffic to my website? And how much of an impact would it be?

                      Unsolved how to deal with bad keywords?

                      keywords

                      In the rush to get our account set up and running our team added about 250+ keywords. Many are really close duplicates or a close rephrasing of the same idea. I'd say almost 100 of them fit into this category. Does it make sense to just leave these and continue to add better keywords or should we do some purging? Help!

                      Which tool is most reliable to do Keyword Research ? I have observed that data in Google Keywords Tool seems to fluctuate a lot. For instance a particular keyword in GKT had an exact Global Search Volume of 2800 3 days back , today it is around 1200 . I can not make decisions on such unreliable data ...

                      Duplicated string in the google keyword tool

                      Is it possible that the google keyword tool is wrong? It's the first time I realize that for many keywords the google keyword tool reports a big volume of searchs for a keyword as if it were tiped two times. In some cases, as the attached image, it's the same volume, in other cases is even bigger the one with the duplicated string What should I think of that, that, "champagne champagne" has really 4 million searchs? if champagnechampagne.com were an available domain name, should it be a good idea for a microsite? Thank you! t9Jwn.png
