Ranking History - different to my actual
-
Hi
Little confused with the ranking report on a campaign. www.google.co.uk I am position 1 for "web development company". On the ranking report I am not in the top50. Last update was on the 18th Jan.
How current is the ranking report as my other ranking software (Rank Tracker) is a little more upto date?

Thanks everyone, ok I understand fully now thanks for the replies.

Hi!
Thanks for the question. Your rankings do look accurate in my searches. To touch on Gordon and Matt's points, It's generally best practice to set the campaign domain off of what you're ranking for. In your case, you're ranking for your sub (www) and have the campaign set for sub so you're ok there. Also, there are many factors generally in play for search results. You'll want to set a browser in incognito or privacy mode when you're conducting searches for comparative purposes. You usually won't see an exact match in ranking data since we update once a week vs once a day or more for the engines, but you'll usually be within a couple spots of our report.
Best,
Sam

Humm, ok I think the other tool is possibly working off cookies. The link profile is growing I am concentrating on good content first.

Is that a signed out, no cookies search giving you #1?
As I've just searched Google UK and can't find you in the first 10 pages, so it seems the ranking report is about right.
If you were ranking and have suddenly dropped, how's your link profile? Amy messages in Webmaster tools?

I am pretty new to the tools, so it could be my lack of understanding. However its set to my root domain. I know that it went to P1 on or around the 15th Jan the campaign shows last update 18th. So could the results be a week old?
-
Is this a new problem or has it only just arisen? Was it tracking correctly over the past couple of weeks.
If this is a new campaign then in could be that you are tracking your subdomain and not the root domain in your campaign... worth a check. If it is wrong, you'll need to tear it down and start again.

What is the difference between my pages' keyword rank and keyword-specific SERP?
I've been tasked with identifying high volume keywords for products our company sells and optimizing our copy and listings to rank higher on Google. The Keyword Explorer and On-Page Grader have been fantastic for this, but as I write my reports, i'm not sure whether SERP or Moz's keyword page rank would be more accurate for reporting results and movement. For instance, one of our product pages ranks #12 for the highest (relevant) volume keyword, but when looking at the SERP analysis for that keyword, our product page actually shows up at #7 down the list. I've tried naturally searching in Google in case it was an issue of private results based on my user data but it seems to give the same result. Am I conflating two different tools? Or is the Moz rank just an estimate?

Hey all good mozzers - For my new publishing company, would you recommend building on a Wordpress Platform or a different CMS? I want it to look great to user and also allow me to fully optimize it for ranking purposes - thanks
Hey all good mozzers - For my new publishing company, would you recommend building on a Wordpress Platform or a different CMS? I want it to look great to user and also allow me to fully optimize it for ranking purposes - thanks. Seems like Wordpress has a ton of possibility and is much cheaper - but I don't want to do all that work if it is not as strong for SEO purposes - I like to use CMS made simple typically because it is exactly what it claims: simple Advise me please - and then let me know who you think might be able to help me build the best professional site? company or individual? thanks ben

Perplexed - Errors increasing, moz rank dropping, conflicting data from other sources. Please Help.
Hi there, I'm in a bit of a bind and could seriously do with some help. For the past month I've been working with a client to resolve errors onsite. In that period my moz rank has plummeted and my errors (dupe title & content) have increased dramatically. The correlation makes sense, the increase - not so much. Here's why, screaming frog is reporting that the majority of duplicate titles have been removed or dealt with. I've also got the assurance of the developer that the suggested changes are being implemented. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the CMS - umbraco - and this is the first time I'm working with this particular developer, so I'm not sure how to gauge progress without using moz tools. So, here are my immediate questions: 1. Why would I get different results from Screaming Frog and Rogerbot? 2. Has anyone here been in a similar situation and could they recommend areas to watch for errors creeping in? 3. Is there a way of identifying which errors have occurred when? Narrowing it down to the week each error occurred would be good enough. 4. Is anybody aware of any inherent SEO flaws in umbraco or common SEO mistakes made using the CMS? 5. is there anything I could provide you with to help you help me? 6. Do you have a suggestion? I'm pretty stuck. Thanks in advance.

Universal rankings has made my page not show in rankings any more
We've had a page with a video on it for ages; it always ranks well, generally around no. 5. But I've noticed that it's now ignored in SEMOZ as a page, and only shows as a Universal Result - so it looks as though our top page is no. 22, even thought the video shows as an icon still in the same position, no. 5. That's annoying as I now have to explain to my stakeholders how come our rankings appear to have dropped off a cliff - when i fact they haven't. The page appears in google SERPS exactly as it always has. Can anything be done to make it appear back as it did in SEMOZ? Thanks

How Long For New Keyword Rank Data?
I have a PRO account and added the initial keywords and got the immediate rankings for those. Then I added new keywords and those have not been updated. How long do I have to wait to get Keyword Ranking data on those keywords. I know it says they are updated every Friday, but does that mean I have to wait until next Friday for my first run of data on new keywords?? I ask because I have to present to a client before then and I require the data for that meeting. Any insight is appreciated.

How is SeoMoz different?
In the past I heard that other SEO type crawling software like WP Gold could seriously harm your rankings in the search engines - especially Google. How is SeoMoz different ?
