Name Twins!
We're just checking for the word "mobile" in the code on your site in a couple of different languages. You can definitely still rank well in mobile search engines while that column says "False."
Sorry for any confusion! If you've still got questions, feel free to give us a shout at help@moz.com and we'll see what we can do to sort things out with you.

It is so awesome that your name is Tawny as well!!
We thought we understood but the more we looked into different areas, the more confused we are by the "F" in this column as it does show rankings on https://analytics.moz.com/pro/analytics/rankings/516048/1870227?tab=engines
so the word "mobile" is not significant - is that correct?
Just something you list, or will it help improve rankings on mobile?
Thanks again Tawny!

No problem at all! Happy to help!

Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here.
We're looking for the word "mobile" in the code in a number of languages to help determine whether a page is mobile-friendly or not.
If we don't find that word, then that column gets marked "false."
I hope that helps! If you still have questions for us, feel free to write in to us at help@moz.com. Cheers!

Unusual "internal links" causing SEO issues?
Hi all, I'm working on an ecommerce site which has been around for almost 20 years. Over the years it has started to suffer in Google's search results and the decision was recently made to completely overhaul the site. We're now very happy with the website's design, and care was taken to maintain page rank via 301s, etc. However, the site has just fallen off the bottom of Google's first search result page (for the first time in years) for our main keyword. I signed up here in the hope of using Moz's SEO tools to help us return to our former glory, but I'm seeing some confusing results: I've run a crawl test on our site, as well as on our two biggest competitors. One thing that really stood out was that we have over 1000 "internal links" to our homepage, whereas our competitors both have around 20-30 (both of which appear at the top of the first SR page). Since the rest of the "on-page SEO" looks OK, I suspect that this could be causing our problems, but I don't understand where this "internal links" number is coming from. Links to our competitor's homepage appear in the navigation bar on every single one of their product pages (which they have about 500 of), yet your report only claims that they have 30 links. The only link to the homepage appears in the site's main navigation bar (which obviously appears on every product page - exactly as it does on our competitors' sites). Additionally, almost every other page on our site apparently has 0 "internal links" and 0 page authority. Is this a problem with Moz's crawl test tool, or is our site actually at fault? The above has been asked directly to Moz staff, but I haven't had a reply. I'd hugely appreciate any words of wisdom from the community. Many thanks in advance. Nick

Is a higher or lower score better in keyword ranking
I know this is a weird question, I think I have confused myself with different keyword tools. So if you get a score of 10 for your keyword, should you aim to be closer to 1 or 50?

Rank Tracker - URLs are Different when Exporting to CSV
When exporting to CSV in Rank Tracker, many of the URLs are reduced to the root domain instead of the full, ranking URL as seen within the tool. Right now the URLs must be copied/pasted or manually edited afterwards in the CSV. However, it doesn't happen to every item. A few of them do show the correct URL after being exported. Any idea if this is a bug or just an odd thing the export does?

Keyword Ranking Report Blank
I have a custom ranking report set up to run every month. The module that shows the overall changes (how many improved, how many dropped, number in rank #1-3, etc.) populates with data, but the keyword ranking for tracked keywords listing is blank for all keywords, all search engines. I haven't changed anything in my campaigns - why is this reporting blank? Thanks!

Moz Rank Tracker - showing deleted subdomains results for entered keywords
We have recently deleted subdomains because they were causing duplicate page errors but now the Moz rank tracker is showing the subdomain key word results even instead of the exact url we entered. So for example wine cellar is showing up for a deleted subdomain (winecellar.vigilantinc.com) instead of the entered exact url of (vigilantinc.com/winecellars/) Please advise. Thanks!

Did Google Turn Off the Rank Tracking API ??
I might be responding too soon on this... but has anyone been able to use the Moz rank tracker or any other web-based rank-tracking tool that uses the Google API since about noon today (NYC TIME)??
