Why don't I see my keyword anymore? Do you remove keywords?

We keep track of the reports run on each keyword. Once the keyword reaches the report threshold, the keyword is removed from the library. We remove keywords to keep RankIQ users from competing with each other for the same phrases.

If you ran a report on that keyword before it was removed:

If you have already run a report on a keyword that was removed, your report contributed to our count in deciding to remove it. You should proceed as planned and write on it.

If you did not run a report on that keyword before it was removed:

If you have not already run a report on a keyword and it was removed, you should not write on it. This is because enough other RankIQ users have run the report on that keyword phrase and are already writing/posting on it and so you would be competing with them. It would be better for you to choose a keyword phrase that is still in the library (less competition) and write on that.

To hear the RankIQ founder, Brandon Gaille, explain this idea in more detail, please watch the RankIQ tutorial found on the Reports page, starting at 25:26, as of August 2023.
