Why do some of my sites stop showing up as ranking on SEO Moz (listed as not in top 50) when in google ranks they are top five?
-
Okay - so i have several campaigns.
And of these campaigns, about four or five of them no longer show up as ranking after several weekly crawls by SEOMoz...
Not sure why the line on the chart just stops when they are ranking in top 5 for google organics
am confused by this
can you help me do what i need to do so that the seobot can read my pages and save me time on checking where i rank -
thanks

Robert, you are a nice guy and very helpful - so appreciate you and all your help for this newbie...

Ben,
When you say "just stopped ranking out of nowhere" - ranking for what terms?Upgrading and report differences are coincidental. With both a Plus sites, there was no Google Places verification, etc. Your other sites have that. Trust me, it is big.

Thanks for your attempts to help me understand - but I checked everything and the following sites just stopped ranking out of nowhere
www.aplusmidlandstorage
and
arggghhhh...
it drives me crazy -
I upgraded to Pro and now I wonder if I am just wasting the money - have gotten worse crawl reports ever since -
love SEOMoz - but am doubting some stuff
appreciate you though
be blessed

the second url (lubock) shows up in rank tracker quite well. See Image. Midland does not show up on the ranking. Now, I did find the other (Affordable, Midland) and it is fine.
When I look at A+ Midland, it is totally different than the Lubbock sites. (Places not verified, where as they are done very well for all your Affordable locations.)
As to if the rankings stopped tracking, I can only guess that you may have in some way turned them off in campaigns, or if using rank tracker, you unchecked a box.
Note: Rank tracker. If you put in storage units lubbock and appropriate url, then two weeks later you run another for same but uncheck box and in essence create new, the ranking history will be lost. You must leave the box checked in rank tracker or you will lose the history.

Without a url it is impossible to know what is happening. A guess would be that in SEOmoz you are getting an accurate reading and you are searching in with personalized search on. (You can use the moz SERP Control Panel and turn off personalized). See top right of image.
Another would be that if you had at any time turned off the campaign or changed something. One thing that does happen is if your keyword is Monkey shine, and you have two pages that could rank for it, one could fall and the other rise but I don't know how that would not be noticeable.
If you can share a url that would be a big help.

Google results not close to matching MOZ PA and SA - Why?
I'm trying to convince a boss and another client/partner of the value of MOZ, but it's a challenge when Google's results and the MOZ analytics are way off. For example, when I do non-personalized (MOZ toolbar) Google search for "stair lift kansas city" I see some results that make sense. Further down the page I see my prospective client, kclift.com -- it's a new site with poor MOZ grades and almost no backlinks. It has a PA of 1 and a DA of 4. Yet it ranks above a YP site that has a DA of 89, and another site that has a PA of 27 and a DA of 14. What gives? When I used an in-private Bing search for those terms this site didn't display in the 1st 4 pages. That makes sense with these MOZ rankings and the new site. So how does the site get page 1 results on Google for the same terms? (I should note that I've gone to this site a lot, for the client, and done other related searches. I live in Charlotte, which is why I've included Kansas City in the search terms. With this search, I've tried several ways to do a Google search that is truly anonymous, but I'm not sure I've succeeded. I've erased browsing data, used incognito, used other browsers, and used the MOZ non-personalized Google search. All from the same IP though. Does Google track that? If so, how can one do a truly anonymous search on Google?) All suggestions welcome. Thanks! Richard S.

How to Combine the Moz Keyword Difficulty Tool with Google Keyword Planner for LOCAL (city/town) Results
Hi there, I wish that Moz would show local (city/town) results in their Keyword Difficulty Tool. But they don't, so here's my question: I'm trying to rank for keywords "interior design" in a local geographic area in the US. When using Google KWP, I'm selecting all the towns I want to rank in, and searching against the keywords INTERIOR DESIGN. The search volume appears to be approx. 370 a month. What I'm not sure about is whether I should instead (or in addition to), be searching for INTERIOR DESIGN (CITY), and leaving the geographic selection as US. What is most accurate? OR...should I search for INTERIOR DESIGN (CITY) in Moz's Keyword tool? How do you guys do it?

Ranking History
I realize you can click on a specific keyword and view Ranking History for approximately the most recent 12 weeks. I am wondering if you plan on offering additional options (e.g. 6 mo or 1 yr)? It would be great to show clients progress over a greater time span. I am aware of the csv download, but my clients are not interested in looking at or comprehending raw csv data. Can anyone suggest a good tutorial for transforming csv into a decent looking graph? Or, perhaps a software that is capable of doing the same - for those of us that quite simply don't have the time to crash into yet another learning curve 😉 Thanks!

How To Confidently Start SEOing?
Hi Guys, Im a Web developer (Front end and back end). Ive been learning SEO tips and tricks for the last 2 years but didn't have courage to apply them to any of my clients because of lack of confidence. I say lack of confidence because I never had a SEO Guru teaching me the "Proper" way to do SEO and see ranks change OR how to really take the first step when it comes to a SEO Project, so I didnt know how to even see if my work is paying off. Now I got this client who is a Vehicle Importer in Melbourne, and he imports cars from Japan. Im charging him $200/month for 12 months to improve SEO and cut down his competition and get his site on Google. But I have no idea where to start. His site has a blog setup already and its pretty good structure wise. I have done the On page optimizations and sitemaps etc etc, but not sure what to do next like to build links ?? or do off page optimizations, or do keyword research or really get the site on Google without any bull****?? Can you guys please please show me how to start a SEO project and how to actually use the new Moz to his best use? Thanks a lot for helping me. Regards

SEOmoz not showing Google rankings accurately in Ranking Reports. How do we fix this?
We have a running campaign for a client who has rankings show for Yahoo and Bing within the SEOmoz Ranking Reports, however, Google shows no data or rankings. When we manually check from different IP's and computers and browsers, we see our client ranking very well in Google and for keywords which we have inside their campaign for SEOmoz. Can anyone provide insight into this? Have you experienced this also? Our reports would look terrible going to the client if sent from SEOmoz directly as Google shows 0 (Not in Top 50) for all keywords, so we have to get rankings from other sources or manually to show our client. Thank you in advance for your help and tips everyone!

Why Doesn't Open Site Explorer show Domain Links from Twitter, WordPress or Feedburner?
I commented on a few blog posts and wanted to see the domain authority of those sites. When I look at our domain links, I notice the links are not there from the blogs (which I now know I have to give it time to show up). But I also noticed that domains with links to our website (regularly) were not showing up either. i .e Twitter, WordPress and Feedburner. I know we have links in these locations, especially Twitter. Why would these domains not show up? Much thanks!

Not in the top 50
My competitors show as Not in the top 50 for all my keywords - even though they perform better or as good as me? It says Not in the top 50 even for those keywords where they perform much better than me? Does anyone experience this too? It's on the rank-page under (all) my campaigns and it doesn't matter which engine I choose to compare against ....
