My rankings report is giving out wrong information
-
Hi, i am very puzzled about the rankings report. For some reason the past couple of weeks it is giving wrong information
for example, my site www.in2town.co.uk the report says that the keyword gastric band hypnosis is eight in google on page one but when i have checked i cannot find it.
It also says the word gastric band hypnotherapy is sixth place in google on page one
can anyone please let me know what is going on

cheers for this kerri.

I just spoke with the help desk. They can look into your account from there more easily. In general though, some of the difference in this last report may be because Panda refreshed again on Friday and there have been some major changes in the SERPs. If you report ran on Wednesday, and you checked on Saturday, that could be on explanation.

Hi Diane,
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come across that way. I had read the question, but had not seen mention of which Google address you were using, where you had your geotargeting in your browser set, nor where the geotargeting was set in your campaign. While I waited for that information, I was mentioning as an aside that I saw your other site at the fifth place in Google US from Seattle.
Our help desk is probably the best to help you with figuring out why what you are seeing is different. They'll want to know the same information I've asked regarding how you are checking (logged in/not logged in, what Google location you're using, etc) and they can look into your SEOmoz account and get more information there, too.

not being funny Keri but yet again you are not reading the question properly, nobody is talking about www.clairehegarty.co.uk site, if you read the question i am talking about www.in2town.co.uk and i have the settings correct.

I am as well, I think it is a geo location issue

Hi Diane,
What geo settings do you have for the rank tracker, and what geo settings are you using in your browser? Which Google are you using?
FYI, for google.com and a geo of Seattle, I'm seeing the Claire Hegarty site in fifth place for that keyword right now.

Moz Crawl Report more urls?
Hi. I have used Moz Crawl Test and get my 3,000 urls crawled no issue. However, my site has more than that, is it possible to crawl the entire website? Alot of the crawl urls in the Moz test are search string urls and filters so Ive probably wasted about 2,500 urls on filter urls. Any advise or alternative software that wont cost a fortune?

A question on keywords that rank 51+
Good afternoon everyone. I wanted to pose a question to the group about keywords and the "on-page optimization - grade a page tool." I have a list of keywords that I am trying to rank for. Some of them are not ranked in the top 50, so on the keyword ranking tool it gives you the 51+ message in the rank column. For the items that are ranked I can try to improve them by looking at grade a page and typing in the URL and keyword. It will then give me a score and suggestions on how to improve it. With that being said, is there an easy way to find out which pages I should be optimizing those keywords which rank at 51+ for, besides typing the keywords in Google and seeing what URL it associates with the specific keyword? I hope the question above is clear.

Lag time between MOZ crawl and report notification?
I did a lot of work to one of my sites last week and eagerly awaited this week's MOZ report to confirm that I had achieved what I was trying to do, but alas I still see the same errors and warnings in the latest report. This was supposedly generated five days AFTER I made the changes, so why are they not apparent in the new report? I am mainly referring to missing metadata, long page titles, duplicate content and duplicate title errors (due to crawl and URL issues). Why would the new crawl not have picked up that these have been corrected? Does it rely on some other crawl having updated (e.g. Google or Bing)?

Ranking report not accurate
I've justed signed up for SEOMOZ and testing out the ranking report software. For a client that I'm doing an audit for I've ran a ranking report against the keywords. Using Chrome Incognito I've checked the ranking and they are on the 1st page but the ranking report is showing they aren't in the top 43, any ideas why this might be? I've checked my setting and set up and that's all fine.

OSE Backlink results - reported link not actually there?
Not a complaint, but a question to understand how the research tool operates: When I run backlink checks on websites, often the reported link is not only not on the page, but it's not found anywhere on the site. I use several tools to search for the link url as well as for the keyword. Why does the tool report a link is there, but I cannot find the links in some cases? Is there a lag in the information the tool is using, making it not quite up to date, or is it something else? Thanks much!

Pro Report Card Question
I am getting this warning in the Pro Report Card, my site is http://www.myfairytalebooks.com which seems to have Children's and not Childrens in the title. Is it my site that needs to html encode in the title or is Report Card slightly broken? Exact Keyword Usage in Page Title Easy fix <dl> <dt>Page title</dt> <dd>"Personalized Childrens Books Kids Music CDs Baby Books & Gifts."</dd> <dt>Explanation</dt> <dd>Search engines consider the title element to be the most important place to identify keywords and associate the page with a topic and/or set of terms. SEOmoz's correlation research has also shown that rankings are heavily influenced by keyword usage in the title tag.</dd> <dt>Recommendation</dt> <dd>Employ the keyword in the page title, preferrably as the first words in the element.</dd> </dl>
