Ranking History - different to my actual
-
Hi
Little confused with the ranking report on a campaign. www.google.co.uk I am position 1 for "web development company". On the ranking report I am not in the top50. Last update was on the 18th Jan.
How current is the ranking report as my other ranking software (Rank Tracker) is a little more upto date?

Thanks everyone, ok I understand fully now thanks for the replies.

Hi!
Thanks for the question. Your rankings do look accurate in my searches. To touch on Gordon and Matt's points, It's generally best practice to set the campaign domain off of what you're ranking for. In your case, you're ranking for your sub (www) and have the campaign set for sub so you're ok there. Also, there are many factors generally in play for search results. You'll want to set a browser in incognito or privacy mode when you're conducting searches for comparative purposes. You usually won't see an exact match in ranking data since we update once a week vs once a day or more for the engines, but you'll usually be within a couple spots of our report.
Best,
Sam

Humm, ok I think the other tool is possibly working off cookies. The link profile is growing I am concentrating on good content first.

Is that a signed out, no cookies search giving you #1?
As I've just searched Google UK and can't find you in the first 10 pages, so it seems the ranking report is about right.
If you were ranking and have suddenly dropped, how's your link profile? Amy messages in Webmaster tools?

I am pretty new to the tools, so it could be my lack of understanding. However its set to my root domain. I know that it went to P1 on or around the 15th Jan the campaign shows last update 18th. So could the results be a week old?
-
Is this a new problem or has it only just arisen? Was it tracking correctly over the past couple of weeks.
If this is a new campaign then in could be that you are tracking your subdomain and not the root domain in your campaign... worth a check. If it is wrong, you'll need to tear it down and start again.

Local Rankings Drop?
G'morning! I got a disturbing report this morning that showed seven of our big keywords drop from high on the first page to not in the top 50. After further research I have found that we are now in Google's local cluster, but no longer on the traditional organic results. My question is this, has Google changed something that doesn't allow results in the local cluster AND in the traditional organic listings? I'm assuming that this is the case because we're doing smart SEO and have built these rankings up nicely over time, but then just fell off the face of the earth. I have attached a snapshot of Moz's Ranking History for a few of the keywords, as I assume this will help explain the story. (We're in green). Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks! euxQb kwAqh pUxkC

How can I change the day my keyword rankings are updated?
I have several campaigns which currently get their weekly keyword ranking reports updated on different days. I'd like all of them updated on the same day, so I can just check in one a week for everything.

Why are SEOmoz Pro Keyword Ranking reports different between two 301-linked URLs?
Hi, My main domain is www.dancenut.com. I have this 301 URL redirected to www.dancenut.com/boston/. I set up an SEOmoz Pro campaign for each of these URLs in order to see if they were being treated differently in any way. In most cases the report results are identical, or the small differences are understandable. However, there is one big difference between the two sets of campaign reports. In the Keyword Ranking reports, the data for the Bing and Yahoo! reports are identical, but the data for the Google reports are dramatically different. Out of 21 keywords, 9 are listed in the top 50 for www.dancenut.com, but only 2 are listed in the top 50 for www.dancenut.com/boston/ (the specific positions are the same for the 2 keywords that are listed for both). Does this make any sense? Could the SEOmoz Pro data be wrong? If not, then I'm suspicious that Google may not be interpreting the 301 redirect properly. I don't think this could be fully explained by a 1-10% reduction in link juice due to the 301 because I have one keyword for which my site ranks #1 in Google, Bing, and Yahoo! with www.dancenut.com, but it doesn't even rank in the top 50 in Google with www.dancenut.com/boston/. And why would these differences only exist for Google? Any insight would be much appreciated! Andrew

My 2 Target Keywords Rank In Top 10 But Don't Show Up...?
Hi, My 2 target keywords definitely rank in the top 10 in the USA version of Google but they dont show up in SEOMOZ rank checker...I started using SEOMOZ abour a week or so ago and in 2 consecutaive ranking checks they haven't shown up... Market Samurai says they're 4 and 8 respectively, I can see them in the top 10 of Google and various USA proxies show they're in the top 10... Is there a glitch with SEOMOZ or am I doing something wrong? Thanks, James

Why does SEOMoz Pro only do Rankings Once a Week?
Not sure I understand why the SEOMoz PRO report of rankings only occurs once a week? Any ideas? Seems like it would be easy to just pull that ranking report at any time.

Page Rank and offline sites
I have a domain with PR6 according to the Historical Pagerank Checker. But that last PR was calculated 2 years ago. I brought the site back online a few days ago and have checked that many/most of the backlinks are still valid. It is now in the Google index but the Historical Pagerank Checker shows PR0. Will it get back its previous rank or something close to it? How long will it take?
