Why have my rankings dropped on my keyword report but there is no change for the same keywords on google??
-
I received a keyword ranking report over the weekend, was horrified to see some of my keywords have dropped ranks by 20+ for some
I checked them on google and they haven't moved (confused.com)
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I know, Rogerbot crawls from US (but you can ask this from Helpdesk guys, they will probably give you the details).
Checking rankings for Google.co.uk from two different countries may lead you to gain the SERPs from two different databases. -> Different results. This might be happening in your case too.
Please correct me if I am wrong,

Hey,
Nope no personalised search.
"Another thing could happen is that RogerBot (seoMoz) and you are connecting to two different databases and gaining two different rankings as the result of different search filters Google is testing on the databases."
My ranking report is for google uk and I'm searching on google uk.

Hi Anthony,
Are you checking with personalised search maybe?
Another thing could happen is that RogerBot (seoMoz) and you are connecting to two different databases and gaining two different rankings as the result of different search filters Google is testing on the databases.
I hope that helped,
Istvan

On Page Reports for Long-Tail Keywords?
First Q&A here, so take it easy on me. Hopefully this is not a dumb question. 99% of the on page reports I look at are for local keywords. I'm finding that some of the page reports get and F where they should be receiving A's. I noticed if I manage a long-tail keyword like "books in houston tx" that I get a grade based on the exact phrase as opposed to a combination of the keywords. So when I have text in the body saying "books in the Houston area" or "Houston Books" for example, instead of using my exact managed keyword, it will tell me that the keyword is not mentioned in the body anywhere. When it is, it's just not in the exact order... I'm trying to write my pages for users and I don't think the users want to hear "books in houston tx" several times. If I do a report on the same page for the keyword "books" I get an A. So this is where it gets a little in the grey area for me. I need a solid on page report for local long-tail search terms. Anyone have any advice? Is there a way I could be using this tool to better suit my needs?

Can you highlight a list of keywords in reports?
Hello all, My client recently asked me if there was a way to highlight a specific list of keywords to put on the first page of every report. These would be the highest priority keywords that we would always want to know the status of for his site. In the reports section, I am only seeing options for organizing the keywords by rankings improved/declined and comparing to competitors. Would anyone know how to label/categorize this list of keywords and then produce them as part of the monthly reports? Thank you,

Keyword rankings tool not fully populated today?
I logged in today and my rankings are normally crawled on Thurs, and of my 66 keywords only 6 of them are showing any data - the rest are all blank. It's been going for weeks so it's not like it doesn't have it's initial data yet. I presume this is some issue or artifact that the results haven't been input yet. Can someone help answer this?

Why have I stopped receiving emails about crawl reports and rankings reports?
I used to receive emails weekly telling me a new crawl had completed and the reports were ready and also another email saying the new rankings and on page reports were ready to view - I am not getting these anymore. Does this mean these are still happening but I need to find them within the package or has something changed? Thanks

On Page Optimization Reports - Huh?
I've been working hard to use this EXCELLENT tool for optimize some of what I consider my most important pages . . . But the automatic tool that pulls pages and grades them (the "summary" of the "on page" report) . . . I don't get it. It only graded three of my pages, and I don't understand how it chose what keywords to grade it for? I'm just very confused. I don't understand how it chose the pages to grade, not the words it chose to grade it against. 😞
