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

What works when common ranking factors fail?
I have seen in few instances where the ranking factors doesn't seem to work for competitive keywords. The websites which don't have more than one or two links rank much higher in search results. Any clue what SEOs should do in that scenario?

Would you be able to add functionality to rankings report?
It would be great if you could add annotations to the ranking graph so you could easily see when you had added site updates and the effect they had. I would also be grateful for a key on the graph so you didn't have to hover over the lines to see what's what.

Has MozTrust predicted fall in Google rankings???
The definition of MozTrust is:
Moz Pro | | driansmith
"MozTrust is SEOmoz's global link trust score. It is similar to MozRank but rather than measuring link popularity, it measures link trust. Receiving links from sources which have inherent trust, such as the homepages of major university websites or certain governmental web pages, is a strong trust endorsement." That being the case it is quite disturbing that a number of websites have been hit very badly by the latest Google algorithm changes that did indeed have very respectable MozTrust rankings. Can I ask whether anybody has carried out any sort of analysis of MozTrust versus negative impact in Google rankings? The prediction would of course be that websites suffering from a lower MozTrust would have been hit quite badly by these recent changes.0 -
Did Google Stop Providing Pageranks
My google pagerank has been missing from my SEOMoz toolbar for a while and I can't seem to find the number elsewhere. Did google stop offering this? I'm having trouble finding any blogposts or info about it one way or the other. Thanks!

Which Google API do you use to creat a rank checking tool?
I can't seem to work this one out. Basically I want to make a very simple rank checker tool something similar to http://www.mikes-marketing-tools.com/ranking-reports/ where a user simply type in a domain and a keyword and in return is shown the position within the results. The problem is I can’t work out which API's I need in order to build it, does anyone know what I need to poke about with? It must work with Google and ideally with Bing and the rest
