Rankings failure?
-
The rankings for all our keywords, and for our competitors as well as us, according to SEO moz have all but completely dropped off the radar.
For the vast majority of the keywords, both us and our competitors are showing as not even in the Top 50, despite previously being top 20, first page and top 3 for a large number of them.
What's happened? Would this be due to Google, or has some sort of error occurred seoMoz's end?
The rankings have dropped so badly for all four websites I can't believe for a second they're real.
Thanks.

Hi Andy,
We saw some temporary issues with Google.co.uk last week but everything should be good for your latest rankings update. If you experience issues in the future please write into help@seomo.org using the email associated with your account so that we can assist you further.
I'm so sorry about the inconvenience but everything should be back to normal now.

There's a great tool you can get for firefox that gives you the position in the top 200 ranking results for whatever your keyword is... http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/rank-checker/
You can change localisation options and check rankings on demand in all the major search engines. For times when a weekly top 50 check isn't enough then it's a great little tool to have

Check your analytics, if your traffic hasn't dropped significantly then it's the tool. Also, as mentioned manually check your rankings.
Also do a google trademark search for your domain to see if the site is not penalized itself. Just go to google.com and type in the name of your domain with everything stripped away for example if your site is:
http://www.mygreatsite.com then go to goole and type in "mygreatsite"
If you're not in the top results your site may have a trademark suppression. Or you can use an online Google penalty tool checker but no guarantee that that tool isn't broken as well

We had the same issue last week - seems to have been resolved now, but was a bit terrifying for a while! Would have been nice if there had been some kind of announcement concerning the problem.

Hi Andy,
well, they should know about it: http://www.seomoz.org/q/pro-dashboard-rankings-report-not-accurate-for-the-uk
And though back then I did not have any issues, I am having issues with our German / Austrian / Swiss rankings this week. I would still advise you to open a ticket, so SEOmoz see that many people are affected and it might also help them to sort the issue out, if they get more information.
-
As I thought then. I guess it's fair enough they've got a problem, but some sort of announcement, possibly via email, wouldn't have gone too far amiss! Assuming they know about it.
Thanks.

A lot of people are having issues with the SEOmoz rank tool at the moment.
Double check your rankings manually and if they're fine assume it's the tool.

Is it possible to track rank history
I would like to know is it possible to track a keywords past ranking history? We would like to check the ranking history of some potential vendors, but only get data from the point I add them to Alabs, moz etc. Id like to go back a year to see the trend in their rankings. Is this possible and what tool or process can be used to achieve this. Thanks in advance.

Strange nothing site ranking
Hi There. If you check who ranks for "credit cards" there is a website https://www.woolworthsmoney.com.au/ that is in position #5 This is a highly competitive keyword, but OpenSiteExporer.org cannot give me any backlinks for it. it says "No Data Available for this URL" The same thing happens in Market Samurai - no data 1. What are these guys doing that the others are not? 2. How come OSE can't pull any data for it?

Has MozTrust predicted fall in Google rankings???
The definition of MozTrust is:
Moz Pro | | driansmith
"MozTrust is SEOmoz's global link trust score. It is similar to MozRank but rather than measuring link popularity, it measures link trust. Receiving links from sources which have inherent trust, such as the homepages of major university websites or certain governmental web pages, is a strong trust endorsement." That being the case it is quite disturbing that a number of websites have been hit very badly by the latest Google algorithm changes that did indeed have very respectable MozTrust rankings. Can I ask whether anybody has carried out any sort of analysis of MozTrust versus negative impact in Google rankings? The prediction would of course be that websites suffering from a lower MozTrust would have been hit quite badly by these recent changes.0 -
How seomoz sets the country for google to monitor my rankings?
In some of my campaign settings I use specific country for search engine (e.g. "Google Slovakia"). Some times I check the rankings manually too. My process for this: 1. Open a new Chrome incognito window (be sure that that's the only open incognito window) 2. go to google.sk, type in the keyword 3. at the bottom of the page select advanced search, select language: slovak, resubmit the query That's it. With my process, the monitored keywords are not there were seomoz reports them. So the question: with what settings (domain, language anything else) seomoz is tracking the rankings in country specific search engines?

On Page Optimisation rankings keep yo-yo'ing
Hi All Can you please clarify this for me as its getting a little frustrating. I get the weekly reports from the SEO Pro campaign tool and from one week to the next it keeps changing the ranking. For example cheap a boards For this page I have a on page score of A through the campaign: http://www.cheapsnapframes.co.uk/cheap-a-boards.html Last weeks report showed it was an A and then I get this weeks snapshot after the crawl and its saying its now an F but when I click on the link on the onpage tool it then is showing me an A and then changes the ranking again on the campaign. I am seeing this a lot - why is it happening? thanks Tracy
