Am I obsessed with my rank?
-
Is there someone else out there that obsesses about their rank and check it multiple times a day? Please tell me I am not the only one LOL!

+1 - I used to spend a lot of time getting high off good rankings and low off poor ones. But it's too much of a rollercoaster, and as kchan says, doesn't actually help you build your business. These days I try to stay away from timesinks like this as much as possible and focus on strategy and implementation. (Don't open your email until 11am - my top tip for getting your business moving

I'm happy with the seomoz rank checker tool. I think it sends out a weekly report which is good enough for me. Checking it everyday makes no difference so i rather spend time developing/planning for better content.

Suggestion - there are several tools out there that can alert you if your rank changes. That may be a good investment for you.

Depends if you mean page rank or rank on Google! I think we're all a bit obsessed with our rank on the search engines - but it's easy to get too hooked on checking constantly.
I try to focus on working on my own content development and not stress about the rank - that should come naturally over time (with a little helping hand from a carefully-thought-out strategy).

Rankings-- Red & Green
Question - you can see the green positive and the red negative. If I optimize a certain keyword, and it turns red - how long should I wait before I optimize it again? The same with green - I had a keyword ranking up 20 points...which of course is good...should just wait for a a few months or use the keyword again next month? Not use how I should address the ups and downs (green & red) of rankings. thank you..

Ranks moving up & Down for a certain keyword search
Hi, We had lost rankings for certain keywords completely from google's index about 5 months ago. Recently the rank for the keyword reappeared on google. But it keeps moving up and down. One day on 26th position, next day it is on 45th position, then it comes back to 30th position. This has been going on for over a week now. What is the cause of this ? can someone shed some light on it ? Thank you

Keywords and Rank Checker Tool
Two questions about checking the rank of keywords. The easiest way to say this is by example. I have a keyword that SEOMOZ ranks on google in the 32nd position but when I look for that keyword in Google it's nowhere to be found (it's buried deep in the results pages somewhere). Where does SEOMOZ get its keyword results from? How do I non-localize my browser so I can see "global" keyword results? Is there such a thing? thanks in advance.

Why do I get a vastly different keyword ranking on google using different browsers?
With Fire Fox I get a ranking of 3 for roof coating and get a page 6 with Chrome and IE. Not sure what is going on with that.

How do you check your KW rankings?
I'm currently using the PRO campaigns to track my main keywords. However, I'm trying to do some research on KW opportunities, and having no luck finding a way to conveniently check rankings for new keywords. What tool do you use to get ranking results for large keyword lists?

Rankings are changing all the time
Hi there! My client has a webpage http://www.finlotto.fi. It's a lottery in the Internet. We are trying to dominate keyword "lotto". It's a high volume keyword that has over 135 000 local searches (exact) per month. However, it seems that there aren't much competition out there. We have only one competitor - Veikkaus.fi The issue: We usually have first page ranking only for 2 days max, then we got dropped to third page. Two days later we have first page ranking again. Then we got dropped again to third page. This happens all the time. the odd thing: when we are in the first page, there are a date in the beginning of the META description. When we got dropped to third page, the date disappears. I know this has something to do with crawling. Can you give me some answers considering this issue? I'd be VERY VERY grateful 🙂 BR, Teemu Kinnunen
