Why are we no longer ranking #1 for our brand on the SEOMoz web app?
-
Been noticing these anomalies for some time now. I'm from eVenues.com and we've found the rank tracker extremely useful to see how our campaigns are doing. I noticed however that we no longer show up in the app as ranking for our brand? I know that results differ according to location and a myriad other variables but I think we're pretty strong as far as our brand name is concerned. I did a quick double check in incognito and, yep, we're still ranking...
Any ideas on this?

Thanks Kenny. Will try this out!

Hey Kenji,
I see what's going on here. You have setup your campaign as a subdomain campaign for www.evenues.com but your site currently ranks in Google for evenues.com without the www. Because this is a subdomain campaign we only pull rankings where the www.evenues.com subdomain ranks.
There are a couple things you can do with this. One thing would be to create a root domain campaign for evenues.com and then the campaign will pull rankings for and of your subdomains. The other option would be to go into Google Webmaster tools and tell Google to always show your site as www.evenues.com in their search results.
Hope that helps!
Kenny

Have you checked that the rank checker is using the same version of Google as you - Google.co.uk instead of Google.com for example.

Ranking - UK or Localised?
The MOZ rankings are based on a GOOGLE UK search, when in reality when someone does a search on Google, the results, by default, are localised (based on the City IP). We need to see where we rank for a local search (Leeds) and also for a UK search?

No longer in top 100 for branded keyword - How!?
Got a weird one here... Won't give away actual URL but for this example let's say client's site is: www.purplebananas.com Many of the longtail keyword-targeted subpages/posts are still ranking pretty well. We recently went through and optimized the site based on poor scores we found from crawl reports from SEO Moz, which included renaming some sub-pages, eliminating duplicate content pages, archives, etc (it's a wordpress site, about 4 years old). This site used to rank at the top or near it for the search "purple bananas". However, after we optimized the site it's almost completely fallen off the radar of Google, turns up way over 100 for the search "purple bananas". Strangely, if we search "purplebananas" we're at the top still. Any idea what's going on here? Are we potentially over-optimized or something weird for our own brand!? Any troubleshooting tips? FWIW the changes were made about 6 weeks ago and while we're steadily building links, I don't think this is the standard "Google dance". Thanks!

How seomoz sets the country for google to monitor my rankings?
In some of my campaign settings I use specific country for search engine (e.g. "Google Slovakia"). Some times I check the rankings manually too. My process for this: 1. Open a new Chrome incognito window (be sure that that's the only open incognito window) 2. go to google.sk, type in the keyword 3. at the bottom of the page select advanced search, select language: slovak, resubmit the query That's it. With my process, the monitored keywords are not there were seomoz reports them. So the question: with what settings (domain, language anything else) seomoz is tracking the rankings in country specific search engines?

Excluding parameters from seomoz crawl?
I'm getting a ton of duplicate content errors because almost all of my pages feature a "print this page" link that adds the parameter "printable=Y" to the URL and displays a plain text version of the same page. Is there any way to exclude these pages from the crawl results?
