Rankings Different in Serps from Report
-
My site shows up on page one for many search queries, but I'm "not in the top 50" for those same terms according to the rankings report.
Having troubleshooted the problem, it may be a canonical issue. I did not include www when I originally set up my reports and it seems that my site shows up in search results with www.
However; if you type in the url without the www, it will automatically forward to the page with www. I did this intentionally in order not to get penalized for duplicate content pages.
So here's my question:
If I've got one page redirected to the other, shouldn't the rankings report also follow that redirect? If so, then it should show the correct results, right?
Thanks, Dino

Thanks Gordon,
I'm wondering why the SEO MOz crawlers do not follow the redirect as Google crawlers do?

Hi there Dino,
I've just had the exact same problem. Multiple page one listings, but nothing showing in the ranking reports.
It turned out (with me at least) it was because I had set the www, instead of using the root domain.
There isn't much you can do except make a note of your keywords and competitors and start it again, but make sure you get the root domain set correctly this time.
Hope this helps,
Gordon

How can I change (specifically, decrease) the reporting/crawling frequency of the keyword ranking?
It always seem to compare the standings based on the week before, which confuses the issue when I'm only reporting monthly or quarterly. Is there currently (or might there be in the future) a way to set this so that the comparison is based on a time period that I specify?
