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

Rank tracking in Excel via MOZ API?
Hi there, i hope someone knows the solution to this problem. I created/ copied the "advanced Excel Keyword Analysis Report" that Dan Peskin was kind enough to share, you can find it here: http://moz.com/blog/how-to-build-an-advanced-keyword-analysis-report-in-excel. Now i m looking for a solution to rank my Keywords by using an API, preferably the MOZ API. My keywords are alligned in a column "Keword List", which will be regularly updated. Next to this column i would like to have a column with the corresponding rank. Is there a automatic solution, or do i have to do it manually?

Why Are Moz Pro Ranking SOOOO Inaccurate?
I have a set of keywords for which I have been consistently ranking in the top 10 for months. Moz Pro, a service that I pay for, has shown for the past couple of months that I don't even rank in the top 50. Google Webmaster Tools confirms that I have been ranking in the top 10 for these keywords. Am I doing something wrong or is Moz Pro more of an estimation tool? Thanks 😉

Search Volume in Keyword Rankings Page
Is there a way to show search volumes for keywords in the Keyword Rankings tab page? A lot of times keywords we are ranking for are added to our campaign, and it would be very useful to see the search volumes within that grid. That way we could sort by the search volume and determine which keywords are worth targeting and optimizing for. I've had this ability with other software in the past and would be a great option for either Moz Pro version or the new Beta that is coming out. Which I'm still waiting for my invite BTW:)

How can i export a historical ranking report which contains keywords with special characters.
How can i export a historical ranking report which contains keywords with special characters? Previously it only turned the keywords into jumbled format (forgot the tech term) in excel i.e. онлайн чат which are in this case russian characters. The way i got around this was to import it into google docs but that also is now converting it into this format. Due to this i 1 do not know what the keywords are and 2 all my formulas do not work.

Anchor Text Report in Open Site Explorer
When downloading an anchor text report in OSE, there are very often a bunch or anchor texts at the end of the report that have 0 next to them (i.e. anchor texts that come from 0 domains and from 0 links - if you want a URL to run as an example try www.bbc.co.uk/sport/ and paginate your way to page 7) Surely it is not possible for an anchor text to be found on zero domains/links - so how should these zeros be interpreted? There are numerous different anchor texts showing these zero's. Thanks in advance for any responses.

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.
