SEOmoz Rank tracking
-
I think this tool is a bit off : )
This morning I checked my ranking for a keyword and every time I recheck it I see my results in a different place. I checked on word 5 times and got three different results. Is Google brocken or is the tracker doing its own thing?
This is not the first time I am seeing this issue only today its really acting up.
IMHO I think it would be best if the tool just says out of order rather than 3, 10, 6 for one keyword phrase within ten minutes...

I checked it on SEOmoz and my ranking went from 2 to 6 I clicked it again and it went from 6 to 10 I clicked it again and it went to 3. Every time I refresh, the result its in a random spot.

Has any of you experienced drops of about 12 positions then back up etc. in the last few weeks or are you just experiencing position changes of 1 or 2 places?

Unfortunately this is not the case Google is not as static with results as they use to be. My rankings are bouncing up and down as if they are on a trampoline, as EGOL called it "the Google dance"

In your opinion, if i am logged into Goole and I run my term on the SEOmoz ranking tool does it have anything to do with me being logged on?
I am checking my terms in the SEOmoz tool. Me being logged into google or not has nothing to do with these results.

This is personalization. Nothing completely new, it's just getting more sophisticated. Your SERPs will vary based on if you are logged into a Google account, your browser history, your IP address's location, etc.
Enter private browsing mode (Firefox) or Incognito mode (Chrome) for a better chance of getting less personalized results. You can also "verify" your rankings by using multiple rank checkers.
Chances are you won't get the exact same answer across them, but you'll get a much better idea than manually checking it with all the "personalization variables"

Hi Donnie, sorry misread the question a bit!
Sounds like it's down to the way the tool connects with Googles various servers then(?) -
lol I guess Google is doing salsa dancing with our sites : ) every time I check my results im in a new location.

Hey Greg, running an SEOmoz report should have nothing to do with me being logged into Google or Gmail. etc.. However if SEOmoz is accurate, rankings are changing in SERP's within seconds. Its very strange considering this is the first time I have noticed it being this inconsistant.

Hi Donnie,
Have you considered that being signed into Gmail/Google apps could be affecting your SERPs? I've also seen a similar issue with using Chrome whilst not signed in. I usually goto Private Browsing to check SERPs manually, as this seems to be the best way to get the (nearest to) accurate results.
But, as EGOL says, there does seem to be a lot of fluctation & change around at the moment.
Hope that helps.
Thanks, Greg -
From what I am seeing there is enormous instability in the SERPs. This has been going on for about the past month but it is especially bad the past week.
I can open three different browsers on my machine and get very different results from each of them.... then remote to a computer at another location and get completely different results on three browsers there.
This reminds me of the old google dance.

Results of keyword rankings way off??
I just did my first crawl, and a bunch of the keywords show my rank as being like 76 or 102 and I'm number 1 for the search when I search manually. **I of course have personal results turned off and I'm not logged into gmail when I search.

Are the SEOMoz queries banned by Google?
Hi: In our company, we have notified that Google is banning our IP due to massive queries under the same IP. It is caused mainly by local softwares installed in PCs or some plugins of Firefox. We think that SEOmoz don´t causes this due to its tool uses its own IP and servers, not ours. We would like your opinion about this. Thank you,

Site Not On Google, SEOmoz shows as 43
The site I'm helping with was at one time a page 1, even #1 on page 1. Lots of changes, problems when someone else did something and dropped to page 4 for keyword. After some recent tweaking I did, it no longer shows on rankings. No penalty on Google Webmaster, in Webmaster tools it shows the sitemap processed with no errors. SEOmoz still shows it at #43 in Rankings. Why does SEOmoz see it, but I don't? Site is www.plussizeplum.com (sorry, plus size women's lingerie) and keywords are "plus size lingerie".

Does SEOMoz ever work?
Hi, I've signed up for the free 30 day trial and I'm on the edge of not actually subscribing to the service. I go through the Q & A boards which I find really interesting and hope I can add value there in the future, but the tools interest me more (and this is where the issue lies. Do they ever work? The Keyword difficulty tool just constantly says to come back in 20 minutes and I don't think the Rank Tracker has worked for at least half my freebie 30 days. Have the tools always been this flaky or is it a blip?

Is the SEOMOZ rank checker accounting for the mega sitelinks?
Just curious if the SEOMOZ rank checker accounts for the mega sitelinks? Are this counted as separate listings (which would in effect make it report a lower serp position) or are they bundled up with the first result and considered as #1 spot? Thanks
