What is the correlation between the SEOMOZ PR number and where my site is showing up in an organic search?
-
For years, our company placed 3 or 4 in an organic search on Google for the keyword I am inquiring about. A couple of months ago, we went down to number 15.
I then subscribed to SEOMOZ and began a concerted effort to improve our ranking for this keyword.
Slowly, our listing came up higher in searches and on our reports- back onto the first page #8. Our weekly SEOMOZ reports reflected this improvement, but then it dropped down again to page 2, #11.
My most recent report, this week, gave us a PR 8 for this keyword, but our listing is showing upon page 2, #11.
I do have my personal search and browser history disabled. I am unclear as to why there is this discrepancy.

Yes. Exactly. Yesterday, my ranking report dated 12/11/12 said PR 8 but I saw myself in position #11.
Today, 12/12/12, the page rank in the report has changed and is matching what I see when I search. It's #11 and my search is #11. The report on 12/11/12 says PR 8, today the report number has gone up to 11. I didn't realized that there could be a lag time or that reports might change during the week. I thought the report was the report for its particular week and that to see updated info, one would have to wait for the next week for a new report. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks, Jamo.
I am not logged into Google when I search.
The key word is "web design Santa Barbara'
Interesting that there is no correlation because prior to this week's report the two were identical: PR # and our placement on Google, so I assumed it was one and the same.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "My most recent report, this week, gave us a PR 8 for this keyword." Are you saying the ranking report put you in position #8, but you see yourself in position #11?

Hi there,
are you logged in to google when you search?
What keyword are you looking for? i could check here where you rank and it might give me a better idea (i need to know the website then).
There is no direct correlation between the two to my knowledge.
Hope to hear from you.
kind regards
Jarno

Why Doesn't Open Site Explorer show Domain Links from Twitter, WordPress or Feedburner?
I commented on a few blog posts and wanted to see the domain authority of those sites. When I look at our domain links, I notice the links are not there from the blogs (which I now know I have to give it time to show up). But I also noticed that domains with links to our website (regularly) were not showing up either. i .e Twitter, WordPress and Feedburner. I know we have links in these locations, especially Twitter. Why would these domains not show up? Much thanks!

Where do I find "URLs Receiving Entrances Via Search" and "Non-Paid Keywords Sending Search Visits" in Google Analytics?
These are two metrics highlighted in the "Organic Traffic Data" report in the PRO campaigns. Since this report is composed of data linked from Google Analytics, I bet there's a way to find this same information in GA. So...anyone know how to do that in Google Analytics? I want this information for some long-tail productivity/potential research.

SEOmoz toolbar log in chrome wonky!
In Chrome, I'll start off not logged in to the toolbar. I'll click log in which forwards me to the SEOmoz login page. I'll login. Sometimes the toolbar will reflect this login and the metrics will poplulate in the PA and DA, other times it won't. If I navigate to another page within the same tab, it may show metrics still, but it is also just as likely to show that I'm not logged in. If I open a new tab, the toolbar will show that I'm not logged in. I click the log in again but when directed to SEOmoz, it'll show that I'm already logged in. I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly when it'll work and when it won't. Seems a bit random, so am wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and has been able to solve this logged in / not logged in problem. As a note, anytime I navigate back to the SEOmoz site, whether by opening a new tab or a new window, the SEOmoz site does show I'm logged in, while the toolbar shows I'm not. You can see a demonstration of the simultaneous logged in SEOmoz site and logged out SEOmoz toolbar in the attached screen shot. UPDATE Also having similar issues in firefox. Am wondering if this has anything to do with the fact that I changed my email address within the past few weeks. KQXxN.gif
