Looking for a recommendation for a site ranking comparison tool.

Hi,
It seems that SEOMOZ provides only link ranking comparison with competators. I'm not conviced that this is valuable for my purposes as the comeption often has few links tool, probably the nature of the business..
First, is it worth trying to compare keyword ranking with competators? I think it is, but I'm not that experienced with SEO, especially with Wordpress/Buddpress sites.
Second, any recommenations for a tool that will make this easier?

Hey again!
Check out our On Page reports. You can optimize each page for targeted KWs. If you want to see how your competitor is doing with their On Page scores, just use our stand alone On Page tool and run the report from there. Here is a link to the stand alone on page tools: http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/on-page-keyword-optimization/new
Also in the rankings tab there is a little logo with a line graph that appears when you roll over a keyword. If you click that it will take you to a SERP analysis tool. From here you can run a full report and it will show you some On Page metrics. Check out this video: http://www.seomoz.org/help/researching-high-potential-keywords
Also: http://www.seomoz.org/help/keyword-analysis
Best,

Hi,
I am somewhat familiar with SEMOZ competator rankings.
Correct me If I am wrong, but SEOMOZ provides no detailed drill down type comparison of my site and competators for a given keyword. A report that details how the competators used that keyword in text, meta tags, links etc to get their Google ranking compared to my use of the keyword.
SEOMOZ does not indicate how I might better compete with my competators on a given keyword. It seems to focus more on links than keywords. There must be a tool that helps make this easier to do and IMHO for $100 a month SEOMOZ should provde it. Rank Tracker seems viable at a cost.

I use Rank Tracker from Lin-Assistant.com (no affiliation), which does what you need. We use it as an additional tool in our SEO efforts and are happy with it. HIH

Possible google sandbox issue? Organically ranking page 1 for our number 1 keyword, but page 5 sometimes 6 on google?
What are some things I can look into to figure out why google is ranking us on page 5 sometimes page 6, with some slight rank boosts to rank 36 from 48 but then falls right back. While Yahoo and Bing rank us page 1 consistently, without these big drops back. I use google search ( webmaster tools ) daily, fix 404s and make sure to fetch new content I create. Our site is within the Sandbox issue time frame, google 1st indexed the site about a year and a half ago, the site has been through various SEO service checks, and has had those issues fixed ( some bigcommerce won't allow, such as full sitewide ssl and a few other small factors ) but all the big stuff was handled or will be 100% handled after this redesign is complete. But just still seems we're stuck in the google hole again. We do use adwords, but no clear signs as to why we'd suffer such hardships with google ranking, only thing we don't have optimized in terms of on page optimization from moz is keyword in url, of which will be changing within the next month or two, as we're rolling our a new redesign with SEO 100% at the forefront, nice url paths, with keywords in their url, much more responsive site that uses less resources. But before we release this redesign, I'd like to find out what toe we stubbed of google's to give us such a ranking blackeye... We don't have that many backlinks, and I know these are a huge factor, however, building quality backlinks it's harder than walking on water at time and on the same level as spinning hay into gold. Any ideas community...

Localized SERP Rankings - Multiple Questions...
The Google SERPs for my keywords are pretty regional. We are in the "IT Support Company" space. I've checked with friends in other parts of the country, and we don't show up in the SERPs in other parts of the country for KWs that we are ranking for locally. Questions: 1. I see both national and local players showing up in the SERPs. Is there any kind of formula for how Google decides who gets on the first page? 2. Some of my keywords trigger Google+ listings. How long does it take to show up in Google+, assuming we're optimized appropriately, and we have earned a placement? 3. For Moz's keyword ranking tool, how does it handle regional searches? Moz's tool is going to show different KW rankings than what I will see. My immediate concerns are rankings in my area (NY Metro), but we want to go national. How do we track rankings in different areas? 4. Is it possible to be on the 1st page with Google+ and Organic listings? 5. Do the Google+ 7 packs have generally better, or worse CTRs than similarly placed organic listings?

Determining why an established competitor's rankings have bombed - What's the best way to go about it?
I arrived at work this morning to find my weekly SEOmoz ranking report for a main competitor waiting in my inbox. 90% of the their rankings have tanked in the last day or so by an average of 3 pages - most down from page 1 or 2 where they had been sitting pretty for ages. I'm not in a state of (total) euphoria about this because a) you should be humble enough not to gloat at your enemy's demise, and b) I need to find out what they did wrong so that I don't make the same mistake, too. **What is your first suggested port of call to determine where my (vanquished) foe has gone wrong? How much can I find out? ** I do know one thing - with OSE I can see they've used dodgy blogging services but this, to my mind, would have been jumped upon by Google last year. No? Thanks guys
