      Can anyone shed some light on how a competitor can have over 500 keywords for the home page, which I can not see when I read through the page itself.

      I have looked at the page sauce "keywords and is lists less than 10,.

      So my question is how can Moz say it has over 500 when i cant see them or has the site hidden them. If they are hidden Google has not penalised them for keyword stuffing.

      Can anyone shed some light on this Thanks in advance

          @sarahwalsh This could be the case, I've seen it several times. Of course, it could also be one of the other reasons mentioned in this thread, but this is a "good suspect".

            There are several reasons for that!

            Not all SEO tools tell us the same number of keywords, that a page ranks for. It is just an estimate, & every tool has different algorithm so that's why you can only get an idea from them.

              The discrepancy between the number of keywords reported by Moz and the actual number visible on the page can be attributed to several factors:

              Hidden Keywords: The page might be using techniques like meta keywords, header tags, or internal linking to hide the keywords from view. These methods can make the keywords invisible to casual visitors but still detectable by search engines like Google.

              Keyword Density: The page might be using keyword density techniques, such as repeating keywords in the content, meta tags, and header tags. This can make it difficult to identify the exact number of keywords, as they are spread throughout the page.

              Long-Tail Keywords: The page might be targeting long-tail keywords that are not immediately visible. Long-tail keywords are more specific phrases with lower search volumes but can still contribute to the overall keyword count.

              Keyword Variations: The page might be using variations of the same keyword, such as synonyms or related phrases. These variations can increase the overall keyword count without being immediately apparent.

              SEO Tools: SEO tools like Moz might be using advanced algorithms to detect and count keywords that are not visible to the naked eye. These tools can analyze the page's HTML, meta tags, and other technical aspects to provide a more comprehensive view of the page's keywords.

              In summary, the discrepancy between the reported number of keywords and the actual number visible on the page is likely due to a combination of these factors

                @rubierae1524 While SEO tools like Moz offer approximations, the competitor likely isn't stuffing keywords. The homepage might focus on a few key terms, with variations targeted elsewhere to reach a wider audience. Focus on creating high-quality content that targets relevant keywords for your own site, rather than trying to match a specific number.

                  Homepage Keywords Getting Top Ranking is more Hardest Way Nowadays. But Specific page target to Specific Keywords that will be potential way. https://www.vivaindia.com.mx/

                    Hi, it could just be because the homepage to that site has some really good quality links, which means that it had so much link juice, its ranking high across so many keywords. Our fencing business, got on page one, once we started building quality links.

                      Unsolved Issue with MOZ Keyword Tracking: Missing Keywords in Report

                      keywords

                      Hello, I’m encountering an issue with MOZ’s keyword tracking tool. We have correctly set up our website: https://recomendacionpersonal.com/ to track multiple keywords, but the tool only seems to track a few of them. Some important keywords we’re targeting don’t appear in the report at all. We are in the trial phase and need to ensure the tool functions correctly for our SEO strategy before subscribing to a premium plan. Can someone please help us understand why this might be happening and how to fix it? Thank you!

                      0% visbility and no ranking keywords.

                      Yesterday, we uploaded a new campaign but it appears it has 0% of visibility and no keywords ranking. What might be the problem? The website has a domain authority of 39 and 500 visits in the last week. But according to the Moz campaign they don't even rank for the name.

                      Is it normal to see a ranking drop on some keywords of -14 , -21 etc. etc.

                      Hi all, I am new to using Moz and on a couple of the campaigns that I have been running, I am seeing some keyword rankings drop -14 , -21 etc. etc. I understand that the SERPs fluctuate a bit. I am just surprised to see this happen in such large quantities. We haven't changed the website at all yet, and there is no chance of a penalty on these sites. Keep in mind some keywords have also increased in rank 1 or 2.

                      Why didn't the Moz rankings change yesterday?

                      As of this morning, the Domain Authority section on our campaign still reads: "Next scheduled update: Jan 25, 2017 PST" and nothing has changed - it is still showing our old DA and how much it went up since last time. Is this a problem on our end, or is Moz experiencing difficulties with DA updates? Thanks in advance!

                      What day does Moz update the keyword rankings, my campaigns are all over a week since the last update?

                      HI, It has been over a week since the last ranking update and i'm wondering if these typically are run on a certain day? My last update was on 8/12/14.

                      Received emails about new ranking, crawl and on page reports, but nothing new shows.

                      Yesterday morning I had emails about updated crawl, ranking and on page reports being available however nothing in my dashboard is newer than 2/21. I waited through yesterday to see if things changed, logged in and out etc but nothing new has shown up. Any ideas on why that is the case?

                      Competitor Rankings Not Showing Up

                      When I look at the rankings report in my campaign, the rankings are showing up for my site, but aren't showing up for my competitors. One of the search terms (tower climber certification) is showing that my competitor isn't in the top 50 even though they are number one. Any ideas why this is happening?
