Did Google Turn Off the Rank Tracking API ??
-
I might be responding too soon on this... but has anyone been able to use the Moz rank tracker or any other web-based rank-tracking tool that uses the Google API since about noon today (NYC TIME)??
-
OK - glad to hear that. If you ever encounter an outage that's longer than 10-15 mins, please don't hesitate to ping our help team (help@moz.com). Hope you're well EGOL!

Thanks, Rand.
Good to know that you have these tests built-in.
Since about noon yesterday and into this morning, when I clicked the blue refresh buttons for a keyword, that keyword jumped to the top of the list, spun for a bit and did not return a ranking. I just tried a few and am getting better results.

Our one-off rank tracker: https://moz.com/researchtools/rank-tracker and the rank tracking inside Moz Analytics: http://analytics.moz.com/dashboard/overview/ seems to be working fine. We have an early warning detection system on the engineering side that goes off if we're having trouble, and there hasn't been a blip today.

No problems at my end, but I think the ranking service I use is crawler based.

I saw this today, I don't know if you are familiar with it, http://www.notprovidedcount.com/ and this http://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-gone-100-provided-secure-search/70799/ They could also be affecting things.

Thank you Lesley and Jonathan.
The ranking monitors that I use are not working. Also, today most of the searches being done through google are not showing keywords in analytics programs. My [keyword not provided] counts are up between 25% and 35% on all of my sites. I figured that while Google was at it they would cut off our rank checking abilities.

I do not know if it related, but ther has been a pretty big gmail issue all day. It seems that they understated the problem this morning, but re-adjusted it this evening saying around 50% of accounts were affected. It might have something to do with it, who knows how Google's networks and infrastructure is actually set up. http://techcrunch.com/2013/09/23/gmails-ongoing-email-slow-down-nearing-resolution/

I use another web based tracker that checks the rankings daily. I guess I will find out tomorrow, and will update this thread then. I am not sure they use an API though. TBH I didn't realise they used Api's for this.

MOZ Onpage grade and Google ranking.
I have found for years that there is not necessarily any connection between the onpage given by Moz and the SEO ranking. "F" page can be #1 in Google for long periods of time, and "A" pages can be unranked. I do not see the consistency, so I am unsure how much time to spend optimizing as suggested. I know there are many factors in rankings, but I just wanted to point out that this lack of consistency makes me hesitate to make changes to well-ranking pages -- especially with algorithm changes happening all the time. It seems that everything is considered over-optimization of late, even if it is all natural language. It is hard to NOT use words or synonyms sometimes on pages, for example... Thank you for your great product. I just want to know how my time to spend on this matter or turn my attention to off-page factors where the inconsistency is hard to figure out.

Rank Report color coding
As I recall the weekly Rank Report used green and red to indicate an increase or decrease in page rank. Now, there isn't even a minus sign for a drop in page rank. If the current page rank is 10 and it dropped 5, all I see is 10 and 5. How am I supposed to know at a glance that it dropped 5 without having to pull up the historical graph? Best,

Link Metrics API: sort by domain authority not working?
I’m trying to make calls to the Link Metrics API (via the Linkscape gem); queries that set sorting to :page_authority work, but queries that set it to :domain_authority return Unrecognized API method: 'links/page_to_domain.domain_authority' Unrecognized API method: 'links/page_to_page.domain_authority' Meanwhile, Open Site Explorer happily sorts by domain authority. How should I query the Link Metrics API to get results sorted by domain authority?
