Rank Tracker Inconsistencies
-
My rank tracker reports are odd. The 'Changes From Last Week' don't align with the numbers in the other reports I have been getting. For instance, it will say +3 for a particular search term and show the Latest Ranking to be the same as it has been for a couple of weeks. There has been no +3 to the ranking according to the reports.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks!

Hi Gina! Sorry about the radio silence. We pushed a fix on October 15th that should have addressed this. Are things still looking weird on your end?

Yes, I agree. I see the same thing. Has been like this for a long time. Not only in the emails we receive but also in the online reports.
The change column is the most important column on the report but it is close to 100% inaccurate.
Historical change numbers linger on that report - for months. Recent change numbers do not appear.
If you don't remember your rankings from the previous report or before you click the refresh button, you have no idea if you are up or down.
I say that the change column is the most important column of the report because if it is working properly you can glance up and down that column and based upon the amount of green or the amount of red you can tell if it was a good week.

Rankings and visibility fluctuating wildly from week to week
I have 1 campaign (out of 9) that has it's ranking fluctuating wildly from week to week - and in the past 3 weeks, it's tanked, and the next week come back, and this week, tanked again (what I mean by that is Keyphrases ranking #1 dropping to +51 - I had over 20 keyphrases (both local and universal) that were ranked in the top 10 (many in the top 3) that are now at 18 or higher. I have not changed anything on the website in the last 3 weeks, but I've been working with Yoast SEO Pro to add in metadata, titles etc. The content, managed by the marketing manager, is basically unchanged. Help!!! This is the second time this has happened and our top competitor went from where we are now to #1 - We've been flipflopping week after week. Not good. I have also been getting an increased # of 803 and 804 crawl errors. Jon with Moz added me to the next beta cohort, but I can't imagine that this has anything to do with Google ranking. I have 2 campaigns experiencing a high number of 803-804 crawl errors but only this one with the dramatic ranking and visibility swings. mccdental.com is the domain for the campaign. I appreciate any insight. Newish client - NOT good.

Create a report with keyword, label, difficulty, global search volume, and ranking?
Is it possible to create a report with containing keyword, label, difficulty, global search volume, and ranking? Currently in order to get the data, it seems like I need to manage two lists, the keyword list we are tracking and the keyword list in the Difficulty tool then somehow manually combine the data. Is there an easier way?

Location specific MOZ Ranking changes - How to track them
Hi All, I have asked this question before here but haven't got any convincing answers. And now I am starting to see this in couple of my other projects . I'm not sure how many facing similar issue like mine but its bit tricky. Our company is based in Melbourne,Australia and we set MOZ campaign setting to google.com.au . The weekly moz ranking for one of the client keyword showed as Position Rank#29. But when I Checked Manually it is Ranking #3. So why does the moz show as 29 ? **Keyword: **car exhaust Website: www.professionalexhaust.com.au To Replicate, I set the google search to google.com.au and on Search Tools I changed location as **Australia ( by default its set to Melbourne ). **When I did search now my result came in Page 3 - No.29 rank. Note: By default the Google browser picks the location as Melbourne and gives localized result which is not tracked by MOZ. Now how do I track this in Moz to show localized ranking results which my customer see. I cant report this ranking to client, else I have to do a manual report which is time consuming . Note : This is Tested in InCognito mode with all cache cleared.

Rank tracker csv export different data
Is it on purpose that you export data to the csv export that is different from what is displayed? This is the case when using 'entire subdomain in the request'. After grading the page, it displays the 'ranking url', but when I csv export it, I get the url for this entry that I entered in the URL field.

Need a Reliable Free Bulk Keyword Rank Checker
I have 2,871 keywords that I need to check Google rank for on 4 separate domains. Does anyone know of any FREE tools or plugins available that will allow for this volume that wont get my IP banned by Google? Even the Moz Rank Checker only allows to enter 1 keyword at a time for up to 200 per day. Who would seriously enter in 200 keywords, one by one all day, every day?
