Rankings in Google UK
-
Hi there,
Can someone explain the difference between the results in Google UK - the default is 'The Web', whereas I can opt to choose 'Pages from the UK'.
My question is:
-
If I'm tracking rankings for Google United Kingdom in SEOMoz, is it tracking the results from 'Pages from the UK' or the default setting of 'The Web'?
-
Are there any statistics on how many people choose to see 'Pages from the UK'?
Thanks

You can set the seomoz rank tracking to only track from Google.co.uk if you need to.

Hi,
The difference between results from Google UK and Pages from UK is this: Google UK - The Web will display all the sites that rank in the UK no matter where the site originates from. For example - If I start a website and host it in South Africa but I receive a whole bunch of links from the UK for a term, it will be possible that my site will rank in "Google UK - The Web" for that term.
However, "Pages from UK" will only display sites that originate from the UK. So my site from South Africa wouldn't appear on these search results no matter what I do (unless I try hosing the site in the UK and I don't have country specific URL such as ".co.za".
-
I'm not 100% sure but I do believe that SEOMoz will track results from "The Web" and not "Pages from the UK".
-
I don't know of any statistics about this but my guess would be that there aren't many people choosing "Pages from the UK" compared to "The Web". (Please try confirm this though)
I hope this helps!

Hi Columbus,
I believe that the difference between the two search results is that the first one is a hybrid search (global with a high local search influence - Google Update "Venice") while the second one is pure local.
From GWMT you can set up where you want to target your website. Now if you have picked US instead of UK, that you eliminate yourself from the Search Results which show results only from the UK.
I hope it helped,
Istvan

Recovering rankings after a botched url change
Hi there, I have for a long time had a bicycle maintenance website at madegood.org. Over the years the film branch of this business has taken off and moved in a slightly different direction, so I thought in March I decided to move madegood.org to madegoobikes.com, and create a new website for my film business at madegood.com. I thought I did a good job of telling google about my change of domain, but my rankings completely died, so about a month I moved madegoodbikes.com back to madegood.org. So far I haven't seen any sign of a recovery in my rankings, I'm getting almost no visits. I've check all my top pages on OSE and everything seems to be in place. https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/pages?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.madegood.org%2F&no_redirects=0&sort=page_authority&filter=all&page=1 Is it normal to wait over a month for my rankings to recover, or is there anything else I should be doing? Any tips/ideas/advice whatsoever will of huge help!

Why my site so poorly ranks on Google
Hi 🙂 I hope you can help me for my site http://www.majordroid.com/ I really do not understand why my site so poorly ranks on Google. What can I do about that? Are there any errors or something? What can be done about that? Also when I go to the Moz Tools - Open Site Explorer to check how many backlinks I have... It says: 12 Total Links but according to the Google Webmaster tools I have in total 334 links and 138 links to the homepage. see attachment Why Open Site Explorer does not see all the links to my site, which is a possible reason? And last question, what I need to do to remove pages from Google search like this: <cite class="_Rm">/page/2</cite>. <cite class="_Rm">/page/3 and so on...</cite> Thank you 🙂 aK0x345.jpg

Why Are Moz Pro Ranking SOOOO Inaccurate?
I have a set of keywords for which I have been consistently ranking in the top 10 for months. Moz Pro, a service that I pay for, has shown for the past couple of months that I don't even rank in the top 50. Google Webmaster Tools confirms that I have been ranking in the top 10 for these keywords. Am I doing something wrong or is Moz Pro more of an estimation tool? Thanks 😉

How does SEOMoz get ranking data? is it automated queries to Google?
Google's terms don't allow automated queries without Google's permission. https://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66357 How does SEOMoz get ranking data then? Is it sending automated queries with or without Google's permission? is it violating Google's guideline? Will it affect my site performance as far as rankings?

The value of .uk.com domains
It was a long night last night (working, not playing), therefore forgive the potential stupidness of this question... Running an OSE report on a website earlier their top linking domain was *.uk.com. This is a valid TLD, and I know for sure that the website has not acquired links direct from the uk.com website but from some-other-registered-domain.uk.com. What I am asking is does the Moz Calculation and/or the pagerank calculation give more value to these links? *.uk.com has a Domain Authority of 71 and 156,497 linking root domains. If so i'm gonna go buy me a bunch of .uk.com domains..... Opinions please.
