Why do some of my sites stop showing up as ranking on SEO Moz (listed as not in top 50) when in google ranks they are top five?
-
Okay - so i have several campaigns.
And of these campaigns, about four or five of them no longer show up as ranking after several weekly crawls by SEOMoz...
Not sure why the line on the chart just stops when they are ranking in top 5 for google organics
am confused by this
can you help me do what i need to do so that the seobot can read my pages and save me time on checking where i rank -
thanks

Robert, you are a nice guy and very helpful - so appreciate you and all your help for this newbie...

Ben,
When you say "just stopped ranking out of nowhere" - ranking for what terms?Upgrading and report differences are coincidental. With both a Plus sites, there was no Google Places verification, etc. Your other sites have that. Trust me, it is big.

Thanks for your attempts to help me understand - but I checked everything and the following sites just stopped ranking out of nowhere
www.aplusmidlandstorage
and
arggghhhh...
it drives me crazy -
I upgraded to Pro and now I wonder if I am just wasting the money - have gotten worse crawl reports ever since -
love SEOMoz - but am doubting some stuff
appreciate you though
be blessed

the second url (lubock) shows up in rank tracker quite well. See Image. Midland does not show up on the ranking. Now, I did find the other (Affordable, Midland) and it is fine.
When I look at A+ Midland, it is totally different than the Lubbock sites. (Places not verified, where as they are done very well for all your Affordable locations.)
As to if the rankings stopped tracking, I can only guess that you may have in some way turned them off in campaigns, or if using rank tracker, you unchecked a box.
Note: Rank tracker. If you put in storage units lubbock and appropriate url, then two weeks later you run another for same but uncheck box and in essence create new, the ranking history will be lost. You must leave the box checked in rank tracker or you will lose the history.

Without a url it is impossible to know what is happening. A guess would be that in SEOmoz you are getting an accurate reading and you are searching in with personalized search on. (You can use the moz SERP Control Panel and turn off personalized). See top right of image.
Another would be that if you had at any time turned off the campaign or changed something. One thing that does happen is if your keyword is Monkey shine, and you have two pages that could rank for it, one could fall and the other rise but I don't know how that would not be noticeable.
If you can share a url that would be a big help.

New to Moz, need some probably basic answers about Keywords, Linking, Competitors and General SEO
Hi, So I have quite a lot of data colelcted about my site now, regarding keyword research, page crawling and competitor research ect. But I find myself second guessing myself about what I have done and what to do next. I have done basic research for as many relevant keywords I could think of to my site, including branded and non branded terms. If the main competitive keywords for my niche are very competitive, shall I start doing more research for long tail keywords and only try to rank for them? Does is matter how many keywords I am doing research for? Does is matter how many keywords I try to optimise for each webpage? Are the amount of branded keywords I am researching skewing my results? As they are all ranked #1, but nearly all of the non branded keywords are much further down the list... Once I have decided what keywords are worth trying to ranking for for each page, are the techniques to actually rank more highly for them - Title, H1 Tag, Description, Meta Data, Fresh Content and using the keywords on the page? Or are there more techniques I haven't heard of? Under Keyword Rankings - I noticded that some of my keywords are directing to specific pages, like "Cavity Waxes" is directing to the URL ending in .com/cavity-waxes - How do you assign the keywords im researching to specific URLs? - Or does Moz do it automatically? As most of my keywords seem to be unassigned to any URL, is that because they are not ranking highly enough? How do I best use the data collected through Moz? Good practices? Techniques? Tips and Tricks? What is the best practice for finding potential link partners and asking them for mutual linking? Techniques for finding partners that are likely to link with us, but still provides link juice. I must apologise for this long-winded set of questions, but these are troubling me! Any help would be greatly appreciated, Kind regards, Max Johnson

Moz Crawl Test: WordPress sites with and without /feed and /trackback entires?
I have multiple WP websites and on some of the websites, on my Moz Crawl test, I see an entry for every blog post but also entries for /feed and /trackback for that single blog post. For example, www...com/someArticle www....com/someArticle/feed www...com/someArticle/trackback 1. Can anyone explain why the Crawl test is picking up the /feed and /trackback items? Is it simply because they are 301 redirects to the original post (www...com/someArticle)? 2. What setting(s) in WordPress are making this information appear? Or is it just that the site(s) that have the /feed and /trackback are displaying "normal" behavior for a WP site with a lot of trackbacks and feed entires? 3. Should /fee and /trackback, as well as /author be blocked in robots.txt? Thanks in advance for your advice and input!

Mass Moz Grading
I want to know if there's a workaround to grade my individual pages for multiple keywords in a more efficient manner. Let's say for example (this is an extreme hypothetical) that I'm targeting these keywords: "Red Castles" "Blue Cars" "Green Bottles" on one page. I want to know if there is a way to run three grade reports at once for the single page that they're on with the Moz tools. Thanks a bunch!

My 2 Target Keywords Rank In Top 10 But Don't Show Up...?
Hi, My 2 target keywords definitely rank in the top 10 in the USA version of Google but they dont show up in SEOMOZ rank checker...I started using SEOMOZ abour a week or so ago and in 2 consecutaive ranking checks they haven't shown up... Market Samurai says they're 4 and 8 respectively, I can see them in the top 10 of Google and various USA proxies show they're in the top 10... Is there a glitch with SEOMOZ or am I doing something wrong? Thanks, James
