Serps rank different from each login location
-
I prepared a report yesterday morning and I had a variety of keywords ranking at #5. Today when checked from another location they are all over the place.
kitchen mats has been 11-15 for months, and then when checking from a school computer that starts a new session upon each login
Yesterday it was #5 as was anti fatigue mats - it has been 27-32.
Is google pulling in local hits and shifting the serp rankings?
the site is www.wellnessmats.com
any there suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I know we have had duplicate content issues, and now reading some of the posts - perhaps "key word cannibalization"?
thanks

do you mean clearing the cache and history, each and every time you check?
obviously, i love the seomoz toolkit, but with numbers run only wed - they are usually not even close.
i did have some friends check it, and it closer the to numbers i had yesterday (on the front page - which of course is every clients battle cry - they don't want to hear about conversions).
thanks -

I like that approach!

Pretty accurate response by Ressler. I use SEOmoz PRO Campaign Rank check, SEOBook's Rank Checker, and Market Samurai's rank checker. I then load the data into 3 sheets on a Spreadsheet and get the averages dynamically calculated onto a 4th spreadsheet so the client can see an estimated position ranking from 3 data sources.

I check my rankings three different ways.
- Dedicated browser that I only use to search. I reset all the data every time I use it, and I never click on anything. If things seem out of sort I will reinstall it.
- SEOmoz. I use their ranking checker in the Pro tools
- SEOBooks Rank Checker.
By using three different options I'm able to see exactly where I'm linking. In the off chance that I still think its off I will ask a couple of friends to search it.
That being said, location does have an affect on rankings. Google wants to find the most relevant item for you, and location can be a determining point if everything else is equal.

How do you create landing pages with different domains?
I am wondering how do I create landing pages with differing domains? We recently acquired some other domains that will hopefully help with our SEO, Key Word targeting. I understand how to create the landing page but I don't know how to link it to our other domain. I was thinking about a rel canonical but will that defeat the purpose of the landing page, in terms of ranking? I guess the issue that I am facing is when we start up these new domains they will not have the Domain Authority or the Page Authority of our main site. I would like to try and get them ranked organically as well as PPC. Thanks.

Site not visible on SERP
Hi all, I helped a client on launching his website for a new startup : www.blubridge.com. The site is not visible at all on Google, even on the startup name. I wonder why is that... There was a mistake while building the site, they used a dev site www2.blubridge.com which was indexed by Google. The 301 redirected has been done, however, there is still pages indexed by Google for the www2, and the www is still invisible on SERP... Does someone know how to solve that ?

Using city location in keywords?
Hi all, new to SEO MOZ and SEO in general. I'm trying to do some keyword research to choose keywords and keyphrases for on page SEO as well as an Adwords campaign for a real estate agency that focuses on luxury high rise condos and homes in the Dallas area. My question is, when choosing keywords do you need to include your location in the key phrase? For instance luxury real estate or dallas luxury real estate? Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!

Say you are looking at a bunch of keywords and you think a competitor ranks for one of them. Is there any simple tool you can use to 1. put in keyword 2. put in domain of site RESULT - it tells you exactly where the site ranks. Like **The site UpperYupper.com shows up on Page 3 at position 35 for the keyword "yupper undies" **
