SEO Moz Rank Report
-
Anyone else noticing the rank reporting seems to be off? My reports are showing "not in top 50" for some keywords that my site is on page one for. Not in places listings either because I know that can throw things off! Anyone?

Perfect
Let me know if there's anything else you need. Have a great day!

Just tried again and got it to work!
Thanks again!

Anytime!
The root domain for you would be comprehensiveobgyn.net. It also sounds like there may have been a temporary server issue at the time you tried to create the campaign. You'll usually only see this message if we get a 5XX response from a sites server when we're trying to validate the address.
I just ran a quick curl and got a 200 ok. I was also able to set up a campaign ok on my end. Can you try to create the campaign one more time for me? If you run into another error, I'll forward this into support so we can take a deeper look at this for you.
Best,
Sam

Hey Scott, nope that wasn't our site. The one I'm talking about is for Comprehensive OBGYN of the Palm Beaches

Hey Sam!
Thanks for the help! My root domain is just "comprehensiveobgyn.net" correct? When I try to enter that, it gives me an error code
Roger has detected a problem:
We have detected that the root domain comprehensiveobgyn.net does not respond to web requests. Using this domain, we will be unable to crawl your site or present accurate SERP information.

Ricky,
Here's a screenshot of what I see when doing a Google search for that keyword you provided: http://scott.offord.me/NgRz
I see that your homepage text is copied from another site (or someone else copied your text):
http://scott.offord.me/Ng5v
http://scott.offord.me/NgRLUnrelated, but if this is your site, I see you still have the hello-world blog post visible to the public. Screenshot: http://scott.offord.me/Nft0

Hi Ricky!
So there are a couple things to discuss here. The main one is that you're campaign is set to track your subdomain, but you have a 301 redirect from your sub to your root domain. You're also ranking on your root domain. This is going to potentially throw off your results since we're looking as how a given keyword is ranking based on the campaign (in this case, sub) domain.
Looking at the search results from Safari set in private browsing for the keyword - west palm beach gynecologist - (I didn't see west palm beach obgyn in the campaign), confirms this as we're showing not in the top 50, but I found your domain in position 7.
Universal results (places, images, videos, etc) shouldn't throw off your rankings either as they're listed separately on the rankings page of your campaigns.
I recommend setting up a new campaign with the root domain in your case. You can archive your existing one to save the historical content in case you ever need to revisit it. Thanks!

For instance "west palm beach obgyn" is one of our keywords. The rank report shows us not in top 50 or in local. However, if you search that keyword you will find our site on page 1

I know you are not talking about maps results, but are there terms you are looking at specificially that have a local/city name in them, or are they non local oriented keywords?

Is it normal for Moz to report on nofollow pages in crawl diagnostics?
I have a dev version of my website, for example, devwww.website.com. The htaccess page has a noindex and nofollow request, but I got crawl issues reported from these pages in my Moz report. Does this mean that I don't have the development site hidden from search like I thought I did?

Affordable SEO?
Hey,
Moz Pro | | ChrisHolgate
I love the resources available to me through Moz.com and although I've found it's possible to make a half decent attempt at improving our site using these tools. I have however got to the point where it would be nice to have a second opinion as my view on our site and what can be achieved is no doubt somewhat stale. Obviously asking the community through Q&A is a start and I have benefited greatly in the past from your advice but I wouldn't expect anybody to give our site more than a two minute glance for free. As such I'm hoping to locate someone that I can pay to talk things over with just to get some fresh ideas and perhaps a list of tasks that my staff and I can continue to undertake over the coming months. I appreciate that Moz has a list of recommended SEO companies however these all seem to be targeted towards larger brands and I can imagine a relationship with one of these companies being less personal than I would like. Asides from going through lists of users and checking out their profiles individually, is there a resource that lists the smaller independent on Moz.com and if so where can I find it? Alternatively are their any external resources that might help me to find someone that would be a good match?
Thanks for your help. Chris1 -
Is the Moz Ranking Report correct?
Hello here, today I got my weekly report from Moz by email and it reported a strong decline of rankings on some of our major keywords. Then I went to check on Google personally, and instead I found my pages ranked much higher than reported by Moz (please note that my results wasn't personalized...). I also use a desktop program to check my rankings, and what I found personally on Google corresponded to what my desktop program reported me. Here is an example: my website is virtualsheetmusic.com, and Moz reported a rank NOT in top 50 for the following keyword: "moonlight sonata sheet music" Whereas we are actually on the 19th spot. Another example for the keyword "czardas violin sheet music", Moz reports NOT in top 50, whereas we are actually at the 5th spot on the first page of Google results! Why's this? Anyone can explain? Is there anything wrong with Moz ranking report?

Moz WordPress Plugin?
WordPress is currently 18% of the Internet. Given its huge footprint, wouldn't it make sense for Moz to develop a WP plugin that can not only report site metrics, but help fix and optimize site structure directly from within the site? Just curious - I can't be the only one who wonders if I'm implementing Moz findings/recommendations correctly given the myriad of WP SEO plugins, authors, implementations.

Cannot see Bing rank in Campaign
Hi guys I have included Bing en-GB in my engine list for rankings on one of my websites, however, the actual rank placements are not showing at all in the results, even though a search in Bing shows my site is top on some of the keywords and near top on some of the others. Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks Nick

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>
