Keywords rankings compared competitors not working

Hey Stephen & Melinda,
The most common cause of this type of scenario is having your competitors misconfigured in your campaign settings.
If you have your competitor setup for example.com but they have a 301 redirect to www.example.com the system will only look for pages ranking without the www since our competitor metrics only deal with subdomain and not root.
Essentially you need to find which version of the page your competitors are using and use that. I checked your accounts and found that was the cause in both your cases.
I'd be happy to provide more specific examples if you want to email us at help [at] seomoz [dot] org and include your email and campaign information.
Thanks! I hope that makes sense.

This is NOT working - i'm having the same problem as the original poster. I've checked Google and my competitors rankings are all in the top 50. Please help

Thanks for the question!
I just took a look at your campaign and everything is set up correctly. After running a search for the first couple terms on Google.be in incognito mode, I didn't see any of your listed competitors show up in the top 50. This is why we're not showing any data for them in the rankings section of the page. Once they do hit the top 50, we'll begin to track them in app for you.
Best,
Sam

Rankings Different in Serps from Report
My site shows up on page one for many search queries, but I'm "not in the top 50" for those same terms according to the rankings report. Having troubleshooted the problem, it may be a canonical issue. I did not include www when I originally set up my reports and it seems that my site shows up in search results with www. However; if you type in the url without the www, it will automatically forward to the page with www. I did this intentionally in order not to get penalized for duplicate content pages. So here's my question: If I've got one page redirected to the other, shouldn't the rankings report also follow that redirect? If so, then it should show the correct results, right? Thanks, Dino

Rank tracker accuracy
Hi there, When using Rank Tracker tool from Research Tools of SEOmoz and Google Ad preview and Diagnosis tool I get 2 very different results for the ranking of the same keyword. On the Rank Tracker my website is ranked at position 28 on Google US. As I have a Google adwords account, I use their Ad Preview and Diagnosis in selecting Google.com and United States as location for the same keyword. My website comes at position 6 in the list of organic results. Which one is accurate ? Thank you in advance.

Keywords Best Practices for On-Page Optimization
Hi guys, we've successfully optimized our home page such that it receives a Grade A for 3 completely different, high traffic keywords. Looking forward to seeing the results! The keywords in question were identified by using the monthly searches reported from the Google Keyword Tool. For one of the keywords, the Google Keyword Tool differentiates between what I thought would be seen as being the same. For example, let's say Google reports these three keywords as high traffic keywords: tea cup

tea cups
the tea cup Using the On-Page Report Card, we get a Grade A for 'tea cup', but we get an F for the other 2 terms! I thought Google searches didn't really care about the plural form or adding the word 'the' in front. How should we interpret the result from the On-Page Report Card for the plural form of the keyword and with the word 'the' added in front? Would you track all 3 instances of the keyword independtly in your campaign, or would you just track 'tea cup'? Thanks!0 -

Really strange thing on my laptop, the seomoz toolbar is not working with FF 6. I have the same set up in the office on a PC and all is fine there. Basically it shows the tool bar but no info, states log in but when you click on this it takes you to the seomoz site and states the website is down, which is false as the website is working as I type now. I have uninstalled the the toolbar and then reinstalled it from the research tools, still no joy. Can anyone help? Thanks A

Keyword Rankings Question
Does the Keyword Rankings tool track all urls or just the main. Example: Say I put www.domain.com to have tracked. Will the Keyword Rankings tool also track www.domain.com/landing-page and any derivative of the main domain or would this be considered a separate campaign. Thanks
