Google shutting down Rank Tracking Software? - Raven and AHREFS close down ranking results.
-
Hi,
I was wondering if other people had noticed the (very sudden) closing down of the ranking tools for both Raven and Ahrefs - both of which were major parts of their software. Given the sudden and synced timing my guess is that Google is throwing its weight around and banking on the doors of companies offering ranking software with the threat of a fat lawsuite!
What is everyone else using for their rank checking ?
Will this impact SEOMOZ ranking results ?

Thanks Rand - that good to hear.

Hi James - this change won't impact SEOmoz rankings. We're planning to maintain that data long term (as many other companies do. You might be interested to read my previous responses to this question a couple times at the URLs below:

Let me know if I can answer any other questions about this for you!

I posted this in a previous question asked, so I hope this helps:
Traffic travis, but it is a software and i would recommend you get an ip switcher if you use it so that you don't get your ip banned.
Raven Tools and Ahrefs are discontinuing their rank checkers at the request of google last i heard.
SEM Rush is another tool that can track what keywords for your website as well.
Hope that helps.

Weird I just asked the same question.... I hope this gets a lot of input from people.

Keyword Rankings Report Accuracy
How many of you routinely have inaccurate data in your Moz Pro keyword rankings reports? I just checked 5 of our terms that came in this morning - yes, it's a not logged in, non-personalized, incognito, cleared cache search - and none of them actually ranked where Moz said they ranked. One was listed in the top 5 and wasn't even on the first page. One was listed at position 3 but was actually at position 8, a big difference when it comes to CTR. And the report will have stuff like our brand name not ranked at all one week, then jumping by 45+ positions the next week, then gone the next week. And it doesn't fluctuate like that. I get that the reports are general to what most people see, but should such big disparities be expected?

Recent SEOMoz Crawl = Strange Results
Did anyone else get some really strange results in their weekly crawls this week with the campaign tool? Either my ranks sky rocked across three different sites or the tools is busted. Something to the tune of having 4 pages ranking in the top 30 to now having 15-16 pages ranking in the top 30. I'd love to find out it is just all the hard work paying off but i am worried it is the later. Regards - Kyle

About the rankings report in the Pro Dashboard, does it track the ranking of every page on a root domain, or just the home page or whichever page you set up the campaign with?
I noticed that one of the pages on my root domain has a #5 rank for a keyword, yet the ranking report says that there are no results in the top 50. So I am assuming it is only tracking the home page. That is one thing I liked about the Rank Tracker, that it would find any page that was ranking on a root domain. Thanks, Lara

Is anyone noticing a difference between Google position when you view ten and when you view a hundred results per page?
We have noticed a gap as large as 30 places when using UK Google. Interested in whether other people are seeing this and if anyone can offer an explaination. Thanks Turkey
