This is an older thread, and it's probably best to either start your own thread, or email help@seomoz.org directly and we can help you that way. Thanks!

Hi Tim
I just googled "semoz reporting wrong data" and found this thread. I'm finding the same problems with a client of mine. Seomoz ranking report is way off what the real rankings are. To put the personalised search theory to bed I rung a friend at the other end of the country to run a search on a couple of keywords and he reported the same rankings as mine and not the ones SEOmoz is reporting.
Very puzzling indeed.
did anyone from SEOmoz get back to you?
Thanks
Anthony

i have not been using the difficulty tool, i have just been working on keywords that i need customers to find so they come to my site.
Thanks for checking the gastric band hypnotherapy for me, it has left me puzzled why the report above says i am not at number one, very strange. will send an email to customer services on here and find out why it has gone wrong.

Hi Diane
How are you doing on the exact same keywords on the Keyword Difficulty tool?
Searching on clean browser (from Denmark), you're #1 on google on the term:
gastric band hypnotherapy
-
i have just used the rank checker and it is bringing me the restuls that i can see when i search google. this is strange as the semoz rank checher tells me that my keyword gastric band hypnotherapy is number one but the above information tells me it is number nine
-
i have tried doing what it says on the link but still getting same results. can anyone please put into google uk gastric band hypnotherapy and let me know what the top three results are.
and also can anyone let me know even though i have followed the above advice on the link why i am getting the same results please

Most likely your data is the ones that are incorrect. SEOmoz brings back non personalized, non location based results...

Hi Diane,
First of all my question is: how are you searching for your terms? - I have got a feeling you have personalized search.
Read through the following article to clear the difference and how to search non personalized: http://www.distilled.net/blog/seo/non-personalized-search-google-global-results-chrome-1201/
I hope this helps a little-bit

Is Search Visibility actually weighted by search volume at all? Everyone seems to think so, but that seems completely wrong?
As I've been exploring Moz more, I've been looking into search visibility and what it actually represents. While searching for answers on Moz, I've seen several posts that all seem to think the search volume for keywords matters at all for the search visibility metric, and I'm wondering why anyone thinks that, when everything from Moz seems to indicate otherwise. https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-pro-overview/rankings/search-visibility describes the calculation as taking the CTR for each keyword, based on rank, summing those, and dividing by the number of keywords. This describes a simple, and completely unweighted by search volume, average. This means that if you are tracking 10 keywords, and rank #1 on 5 that have a search volume of 0-10, and are unranked on 5 that have a search volume of 70,801-118,000, that would generate exactly the same search visibility score as if you rank #1 on the 5 high volume, and are unranked on the 5 low volume. The above all makes search visibility look like a much less valuable metric than if it were appropriately weighted by volume, as well as potentially very misleading, since the % relates solely to the number of keywords in your analyzed segment, rather than to the % of search volume that you're obtaining (unless a) all of your keywords are the same rank, or b) all of your keywords have the same volume). Am I missing something, or is everyone just giving Moz way too much credit when it comes to the value of the search visibility metric?

Keyword data archiving
Hi all, With the limit on the keyword counts, I'm not sure how people are going about collecting data for larger keyword sets? I initially thought to alternate my keywords monthly but can't seem to archive the results. Any thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks

Semoz Toolbar
Hi, I had a problem with too many links on a page and I tryed to replace the navigation with one that reloads the subnavigation with ajax to lower the amount of links. After that I used the seomoz toolbar to check the result. And also this tool: http://linkcounter.submitexpress.com/ Linkcounter showed the correct amount (lowered by the number of links hidden with ajax) but the Seomoz-Toolbar showed still the same number as before. Now I am wondering: Does the Seomoz-Toolbar needs time to check the content or does ist just count all links no matter if they are hidden or not. And most important: Does Google counts the ajax Links also? Thanks!

Open Site Explorer is showing "No Data" for my page titles under the "Top Pages" Tab
This is for my site: www.kibin.com/ Does this mean there is something wrong with how we're titling our pages? We're working on our on-page SEO, titles, meta descriptions this week and getting them up to snuff. I don't understand what is going on here or if it's something to be worried about. Thanks!

Discrepancy in OSE data
When I look up a domain in OSE, it shows that there are 3K+ links from 349 domains. However, when I download the CSV, I only see around 1,500 links. Why the discrepancy?

Why does it take so long for SeoMoz to update data?
I changed the Anchor Text of 4 40/100 MozRank sites 2 months ago, yet SeoMoz still shows the old Anchor text in the reports. Why is this taking so long? I also notice my inbound domains hasn't increased nor has my MozRank in 3-4 weeks. What's the turnaround?

What is the quickest way to get OSE data for many URLs all at once?
I have over 400 URLs in a spreadsheet and I would like to get Open Site Explorer data (domain/page authority/trust etc) for each URL. Would I use the Linkscape API to do this quickly (ie not manually entering every single site into OSE)? Or is there something in OSE or a tool I am overlooking? And whatever the best process is, can you give a brief overview? Thanks!! -Dan
