SEO Moz Rank Report
-
Anyone else noticing the rank reporting seems to be off? My reports are showing "not in top 50" for some keywords that my site is on page one for. Not in places listings either because I know that can throw things off! Anyone?

Perfect
Let me know if there's anything else you need. Have a great day!

Just tried again and got it to work!
Thanks again!

Anytime!
The root domain for you would be comprehensiveobgyn.net. It also sounds like there may have been a temporary server issue at the time you tried to create the campaign. You'll usually only see this message if we get a 5XX response from a sites server when we're trying to validate the address.
I just ran a quick curl and got a 200 ok. I was also able to set up a campaign ok on my end. Can you try to create the campaign one more time for me? If you run into another error, I'll forward this into support so we can take a deeper look at this for you.
Best,
Sam

Hey Scott, nope that wasn't our site. The one I'm talking about is for Comprehensive OBGYN of the Palm Beaches

Hey Sam!
Thanks for the help! My root domain is just "comprehensiveobgyn.net" correct? When I try to enter that, it gives me an error code
Roger has detected a problem:
We have detected that the root domain comprehensiveobgyn.net does not respond to web requests. Using this domain, we will be unable to crawl your site or present accurate SERP information.

Ricky,
Here's a screenshot of what I see when doing a Google search for that keyword you provided: http://scott.offord.me/NgRz
I see that your homepage text is copied from another site (or someone else copied your text):
http://scott.offord.me/Ng5v
http://scott.offord.me/NgRLUnrelated, but if this is your site, I see you still have the hello-world blog post visible to the public. Screenshot: http://scott.offord.me/Nft0

Hi Ricky!
So there are a couple things to discuss here. The main one is that you're campaign is set to track your subdomain, but you have a 301 redirect from your sub to your root domain. You're also ranking on your root domain. This is going to potentially throw off your results since we're looking as how a given keyword is ranking based on the campaign (in this case, sub) domain.
Looking at the search results from Safari set in private browsing for the keyword - west palm beach gynecologist - (I didn't see west palm beach obgyn in the campaign), confirms this as we're showing not in the top 50, but I found your domain in position 7.
Universal results (places, images, videos, etc) shouldn't throw off your rankings either as they're listed separately on the rankings page of your campaigns.
I recommend setting up a new campaign with the root domain in your case. You can archive your existing one to save the historical content in case you ever need to revisit it. Thanks!

For instance "west palm beach obgyn" is one of our keywords. The rank report shows us not in top 50 or in local. However, if you search that keyword you will find our site on page 1

I know you are not talking about maps results, but are there terms you are looking at specificially that have a local/city name in them, or are they non local oriented keywords?

New to Moz, need some probably basic answers about Keywords, Linking, Competitors and General SEO
Hi, So I have quite a lot of data colelcted about my site now, regarding keyword research, page crawling and competitor research ect. But I find myself second guessing myself about what I have done and what to do next. I have done basic research for as many relevant keywords I could think of to my site, including branded and non branded terms. If the main competitive keywords for my niche are very competitive, shall I start doing more research for long tail keywords and only try to rank for them? Does is matter how many keywords I am doing research for? Does is matter how many keywords I try to optimise for each webpage? Are the amount of branded keywords I am researching skewing my results? As they are all ranked #1, but nearly all of the non branded keywords are much further down the list... Once I have decided what keywords are worth trying to ranking for for each page, are the techniques to actually rank more highly for them - Title, H1 Tag, Description, Meta Data, Fresh Content and using the keywords on the page? Or are there more techniques I haven't heard of? Under Keyword Rankings - I noticded that some of my keywords are directing to specific pages, like "Cavity Waxes" is directing to the URL ending in .com/cavity-waxes - How do you assign the keywords im researching to specific URLs? - Or does Moz do it automatically? As most of my keywords seem to be unassigned to any URL, is that because they are not ranking highly enough? How do I best use the data collected through Moz? Good practices? Techniques? Tips and Tricks? What is the best practice for finding potential link partners and asking them for mutual linking? Techniques for finding partners that are likely to link with us, but still provides link juice. I must apologise for this long-winded set of questions, but these are troubling me! Any help would be greatly appreciated, Kind regards, Max Johnson

Crawl results on keyword rankings differ from actual search rankings
For the second week in a row, the weekly keyword rankings in my MOZ account show "not in top 50" for most keywords. However, when I check some of my rankings I still broadly have the rankings that I used to have. It seems that the MOZ crawl is experiencing some difficulties. Does anyone have suggestions how to find out what's going on? If I can't rely on the crawl outcomes, then the tool is not very useful anymore!

Keyword Difficulty Tool Ranking
I'm using the keyword difficultly tool to help me create a a list of 5 keywords (out of approx 50-60) to optimise pages for on a site. However I don't want to just choose the top 5 if 3 of them are too competitive and not worth targeting. From anyone's experience, for a small, new web company who has no pages optimised at this point, do you think there is a keyword difficulty score that I should create a hard limit on? So for instance, with a group of keywords, to only target keywords that have a difficulty score of 60 or below because anything higher would be too difficult to optimise the pages for in this stage of the sites development. Thanks in advance for your help Michelle 🙂

Question About Moz Reports
Hey guys Is it possible to change the date/time that SEOmoz runs its ranking reports? I put together ranking reports each Monday which I need to feedback to the business and it would be good if I could schedule these for late Sunday or early Monday mornings for me coming in to the office.

GWT data v SEO Moz data
I'm sure there's a simple explanation but I can't find it - Looking through the GWT avg position data v SEOMoz ranking data and Market Samurai data there is a large discrepancy. For one term that we hold #1, and have held for a month or two GWTis showing that the avg position is 180 (and down 30). Any reason you know of why the GWT avg position data would be so out of whack with our SERP's and other data? Thanks.
