SEOMoz Campaign
-
Just how lagged are the rankings on SEOMoz Campaigns? They seems to be weeks behind what I actaully see.

Thank for clearing that up Rand. As I said we are seeing wild gyrations in rankings. In the 3 years I have been doing SEO for a few sites I have never seen anything like it. Hence my rant about Google the almighty machine and their continued march away from the little guy. The little guy does not pay the bills or create more billions... I get that. I realize that is a different topic.
Thanks for the details on the ranking.
Yes I use some of the other tools here on Moz. I am just trying to understand what the ranking interval was and based on what I saw I thought it was much older.

Hey guys - the ranking collections are indeed weekly. They may not match exactly what you see depending on personalization, geography, IP address, browser, and any/everything else Google uses to personalize, customize or test results, however, they are always current.
We don't ever do anything like say a ranking is updated without actually going and grabbing the SERP where it exists.
That said, we're unlikely to ever get to daily rankings updates. It's just not feasible with so many customers (16,500+ subscribers today tracking millions of keywords weekly). There are a few other services that, I believe, do provide daily rankings. AuthorityLabs can do this, though it may be price-dependent.
If rankings is the only reason you're using Moz and the Q+A, Pro content, webinars, tool collections, crawl data, opensiteexplorer, etc al. isn't needed, then you might want to consider one of these others. We'll be sad to lose you, but definitely want the best for marketers.

yeah hopefully moz sees this iono if Im willing to pay a $99/ month to be a forum member....

I use to use Advanced Web Rankings but my subscription ran out and did not really want to pay for it again but I guess if I want rankings that are at all current I will need to use some program. Only now as I understand it you have to be careful or you will get penalized for that. You can bet Target, REI, Amazon, Bizrate (a total useless piece of crap), all do just as they please and do not get penalized because they spend million on PPC.
In the last 3 years every move made is more of a move to kick the little guy to the curb. This will only accelerate in the comping years. In 3 to 5 year page one will be 100% paid.....mark my words....it is coming.

i completely agree with you i have the same issue with rank tracking im a new seo also and have been running up the ranks and it is really insignificant to track rankings with moz data. what i have been doing is a using a second browser with no cookies and no chache settings to track rankings so you might wanna try it that way.
i dont know if its possible for them to deliver data on a daily basis but thats really what i think small business seo needs is very micro data analysis (at least we do). when we change things on a daily basis to our websites it would be nice to have more up to date data.

Actually for me is seems to be about 2 months old. We were hit hard by penguin and it seems I am just now seeing that April debacal hit the rankings page.
Anyway.... perhaps it is ok when things are running smooth but in trying to monitor rankings more closely it seems quite useless.....
I know some people will want to jump on here and tell me I can't monitor rankings that closely that it is a fools game. Please don't bother ....I am tired of being preached to about big picture....yea there is that but anyone that had traffic cut in half needs to look at rankings weekly for a while.
Our rankings are fluctuation wildly from week to week. On page one for days and then no were and then back to page one and then to page 5 and then no where and back to page one. Google sucks and is penalizing white hats and still rewarding total spam.
Take any comparisons shopping site. That is not a site. It is a site that lists sites. That is spam.
-
it says it updates weekly but ive also noticed very out dated data for my site especially with link data. it might be because moz is for seos that run multiple campaigns and do things on monthly schedules because they manage multiple campaigns. maybe they should do more frequent updates for small business owners or people with like 2 or less campaigns that need more daily activity reports.

SEOmoz Not Picking Up Links
I'm finding that SEOmoz often doesn't pick up on many of the links my client's websites are attaining. The links do appear in search engine and often have a high domain authority (often PR links, which I why I follow up to see if they've been picked up). I do tend to see many of the links appear in webmaster tools, so it's a little frustrating that they don't appear, even after months of pages being live. Thoughts?

Confused on setting up my domain in a campaign
I have a website that is www.example.com. When I first setup my campaign in SEOMoz, I missed the instructions that stated I need to set up my domain as it appeared in the browser. Thus, I set it up as example.com. When I realized my mistake, I setup a second campaign as www.example.com and am running them side by side to see the differences. My question has to do with the best setup. I have a blog that is a subdomain as blog.example.com. It appears that the www.example.com campaign is not crawling the blog pages but example.com is. Are there any downsides in setting up this campaign as example.com? I have a number of other sites with the same issue so would like to get this resolved before I setup the additional sites. Thanks for any assistance or insights into ways I may be "shooting myself in the foot" with the wrong domain structure in my campaign settings.

SEOMOZ Crawling Our Site
Hi there, We get a report from SEOMOZ every week which shows our performance within search. I noticed for our website www.unifor.com.au that it looks through over 10,000 pages, however our website sells less than 500 products so not sure why or how so many pages are trawled? If someone could let me know that would be great. It uses up a lot of bandwidth doing each of these searches so if the amount of pages being trawled reduced it would definitely assist. Thanks, Geoff

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 there any way to change the domain in a campaign here?
When I started the campaign I used site.com but now I have an external blog at blog.site.com and is hosted on tumblr. This site gets lots of errors showing on the campaign because insists on following no-follows. If I change the campaign to www.site.com then blog.site.com will not be part of the campaign. It does say in the help that it will NOT track sub-domains, but it does and hence my problem. So, I am not sure if the rest of the info there is old. 'Does the Web App track the subdomains of my campaign’s domain?

A. Unfortunately we do not currently track subdomains as a part of the
domain you enter. Instead, you must create another campaign slot for any
subdomains you wish to track.' Any ideas on where or how to do this?0 -
Discrepancies in PA and LRDs reported in different SEOmoz tools
I've noticed a difference in the reported PA and LRD numbers for URLs depending on whether you use Open Site Explorer, or look at the same metrics from within the rankings history (in your campaign set up). I've checked this for a few URLs and what I'm seeing is the reported scores for PA and LRDs is different 9 times out of ten. The PA is sometiomes higher on one report, lower on another, or vice versa. Same for LRDs. I thought it might be because one report was lagging behind and using old data, but that would only make sense if I was seeing an increase in reported LRDs, but it just as often shows a decrease ! Is this just a bug in the campaign>rankings history report or is there a reason for the discrepancies?

SEOmoz Toolbar vs. Opensiteexplorer
Dumb question, why is the SEOmoz Toolbar reporting vastly different data than opensitexplorer? I had assumed they pulled from the same data set. False assumption? Am I misinterpreting the metrics? The discrepancies with which I am most confused are differences in number of root linking domains between OSE and Toolbar. Please enlighten me.
