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

Why are my keyword rankings dramatically changing week to week?
I have a site (actual several) that has been up for many years now. Content is changed monthly - regularly. It would always rank in the top 5 positions for 5 or 6 keywords. Now all of a sudden (without any dramatic changes to the website) my ranking results from my weekly Moz reports are dramatically different from week to week - every week. One Keyword will be #1, then the next week it will drop 49 positions, the 3rd week it might be #5, then Not in the Top 50, then #1 again, and so and so on. This happens to all my keywords on my site. I was waiting for Google to finish it's changes to it's algorithms but it's now been long enough and I can't get a handle on what's happening, why it's happening, and what to do about it, and what direction to take with my SEO. My Traffic has actually improved over last year by approx. 25%, but I have also started a PPC campaign for this client. Any suggestions would be great.

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?

What is the easiest way to track historical ranking across keywords?
I could not find a way to look at past data dynamically via the SEOmoz interface which would be an amazing feature. For example, people able to change the time period like in Google Analytics to see past results. Has someone developed an excel template to keep track of this data historically if this cannot be done within SEOmoz itself?

Curious, is there any way when browsing through your keywords to view each individual keyword by the search traffic that term receives?
When looking thru our keywords on our reports in SEOmoz, it would be really helpful to be able to rank keywords by major head terms and long tail terms. Is there any way to have the keyword's search traffic show up in the rankings report?
