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!

Rankings dropped
For the past 7 months we have been managing a website for a client cvdwellbeing.com. For the first 6 months, the client has always had been 30 and 40 keywords ranking on page 1 of Google. This month I log into Moz to prepare a report for February and they now only have 7 keywords ranking on page 1. How could this happen so quickly? Is it to do with the Moz DA changes? Nothing has happened to the site apart from adding a couple of blogs and landing pages and there are no errors reported on Moz or Search Console. It is very depressing. Also their DA has dropped relative to their competitors since last month, again no idea why. If the Moz DA updates are so great, why aren't DAs going up instead of down. This is difficult to explain to clients who associate downward trends with bad news. Please don't refer me to the slide set as none of my clients have the attention span to try and understand this, they just want their rankings to get better, not worse.

I am looking at the Page Optimization on a post. Under content suggestions to help you rank higher - Are they recommending that I use the recommend anchor text and use one of the top ranking websites to link to those?

Hald the keywords in my keyword list say "Gethering Metrics". How do I get that to complete?
I'vwe waited about three hours, with no change. Why does this happen — is it something I did? Will those metrics ever be gathered? Or do I need to re-do buildingthe list all over again? And how can I be sure it will be any dirfferent?

On-Page Grader "Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible."
We have a new client with a squarespace page. http://www.mountainhouseestate.com The Moz On-Page grader returns the error "Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible." for all pages. Possibly related, Google seems to hate their site. Even a search for "mountain house estate" returns lousy results. Bing/Yahoo has no problem with it.

Bulk Upload to Rank Tracker?
I know the rank tracker limits you to 200 keyword phrase checks per day. Is there a way to bulk upload 200 so you don't have to put them in one at a time?

Anyone else seeing completely wrong metrics for rank tracker?
I'm really upset, I have used it to work on a spreadsheet with thousands of words and today I decided to check and a keyword we rank #1 for showed as not in top 50. This makes me very nervous.

Keywords Rankings Per Campaign
I want to use the keyword ranking tool, however I want to separate the keywords being tracked for each campaign (or client). I added two campaigns, but it seems the keyword tracker tool is not connected, or has no way of even filtering the list. I have multiple clients who may want to use this feature, but I can't use it if they are all lumped into one interface. Any ideas?
