Why have my rankings dropped on my keyword report but there is no change for the same keywords on google??
-
I received a keyword ranking report over the weekend, was horrified to see some of my keywords have dropped ranks by 20+ for some
I checked them on google and they haven't moved (confused.com)
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I know, Rogerbot crawls from US (but you can ask this from Helpdesk guys, they will probably give you the details).
Checking rankings for Google.co.uk from two different countries may lead you to gain the SERPs from two different databases. -> Different results. This might be happening in your case too.
Please correct me if I am wrong,

Hey,
Nope no personalised search.
"Another thing could happen is that RogerBot (seoMoz) and you are connecting to two different databases and gaining two different rankings as the result of different search filters Google is testing on the databases."
My ranking report is for google uk and I'm searching on google uk.

Hi Anthony,
Are you checking with personalised search maybe?
Another thing could happen is that RogerBot (seoMoz) and you are connecting to two different databases and gaining two different rankings as the result of different search filters Google is testing on the databases.
I hope that helped,
Istvan

Unsolved Why did I stop ranking on a keyword and how will I rank on it again?
I often see in my campaigns, that keywords which ranked on a page between spot 1 to 5 on the SERP stop being ranked on that respective page, causing the website to be in the 5th page or worse on Google. I also see that the keyword is not linked to a page anymore. What causes this to happen and how can I solve this from happening in the future? Capture.PNG

Is There a Tool to Link Moz Keyword Rankings With Google Adwords Campaigns?
I wanted to know if there is a tool or other way to automatically link my Moz keyword rankings with my Google Adwords account for the purpose of allowing me to "pause" Adwords campaigns for keywords for which I rank well in the SERP's and to "activate" Adwords for keywords for which I do not rank well. Since these rankings can change from week to week, it would be great to be able to turn on and off Adwords for specific keywords depending upon my rankings that week.

Moz reporting incorrect ranking
Moz is reporting no ranking on one of my keywords, but when I search that keyword on Google we are on the first page. What would cause Moz to report that incorrectly?

Google Local results ranking
Are Google Local position results included in Moz ranking reports? If not, how can these be tracked and monitored? Is a Google Local result likely to achieve a similar CTR as previous organic results? Some of our previous good organic search rankings seem to have been replaced by Google Local results for our restaurant and hotel clients. Is this likely to achieve the same traffic and if not, is there a way to get back to organic results? Thanks!

Universal rankings has made my page not show in rankings any more
We've had a page with a video on it for ages; it always ranks well, generally around no. 5. But I've noticed that it's now ignored in SEMOZ as a page, and only shows as a Universal Result - so it looks as though our top page is no. 22, even thought the video shows as an icon still in the same position, no. 5. That's annoying as I now have to explain to my stakeholders how come our rankings appear to have dropped off a cliff - when i fact they haven't. The page appears in google SERPS exactly as it always has. Can anything be done to make it appear back as it did in SEMOZ? Thanks

Why does SEO MOZ Pro scan your competitors keyword rankings?
I find the keyword rankings feature of SEOmoz Pro probably it's most useful feature. I was wondering why you can't see your listed competitors stats in comparison?
