Ranking report not accurate
-
I've justed signed up for SEOMOZ and testing out the ranking report software. For a client that I'm doing an audit for I've ran a ranking report against the keywords.
Using Chrome Incognito I've checked the ranking and they are on the 1st page but the ranking report is showing they aren't in the top 43, any ideas why this might be?
I've checked my setting and set up and that's all fine.

Just a quick check to make sure that you're using the same subdomain in both cases. Could the campaign be for non-www and the site is ranking for the www version?

Hi Charlotte
First of all make sure you are not signed in, even with incognito on it will still bring up personalized results.
Personally, I tend not to use SEOmoz for rank tracking as they tend to be slightly off (something that i think they are working on), for full SERPs reports i'd use Ravens Tools or do it manually.

If you want me to doublecheck give the search term and the URL and I will tell you exactly what I get off of my phone when I search on Google

Even using incognito does not Help much especially if you're still logged into Google are you check that? Even if you are not logged into Google take away all variables. For instance type in pizza I guarantee you will find a Google give you closest pizza place regardless of whether or not using incognito so I would trust in what SEOmoz says more than what your own computer tells you. You can also double check is another third-party software's semrush.com , SpyderMate, Raven tools, Majestic Seo, there are so many different tools out there that will give you a rank and the rink should be based on what the normal find further so many variables to using your own computer that I would trust anything SEOmoz tells you over your own computer unfortunately our own Google systems let us down for Giving the correct answer when trying to write for the entire United States it would be actually unreasonable from multiple different reasons for Google to give you the same answers that might give me because were in different areas and our search habits are different. If you have a client and has been using the same Google acount or computer so that you're logged into Google and you're constantly checking Their rank and clicking on their pages start your choice for whatever search term you used over and over again Google will favor them every time And take into consideration exactly where you are in the entire United States Sincerely, Thomas

Crawl Report Re-direct Notice?
Just trying to understand if this is bad or not. The crawl report has picked up that my website is redirecting (301) from http://mysite.com to http://www.mysite.com - under Crawl Notices (blue section). Is this the wrong way to do it as we wanted the www domain version? Is that why SEOMoz has flagged it ?

How can I get ranking keys of competitors
Sometimes it might be clever to analyse the stategy of a competitor to see with which keys they rank successfully. For example I have a webshop, so I type in amazon.com and seomoz spits out: books, dvds, ... I can now see with what keys i wont have a chance and can think of missing keys where my chance might be. Is there a possibility to find out with seomoz?

Personalised PRO Dashboard reports?
Hi guys, I'm loving the SEOMoz PRO dashboard and have learnt so much from the campaigns I've been running. I was wondering if I could personalise the reports to have my logo on them instead of SEO MOz's? At the moment, I export them and try recreate them offline, but it wouold be way easier if I could just send them the reports PDF'ed up straight from the dashboard.
