Moz is incorrect
-
So i have had my latest crawl, and the keyword report is showing that using google.co.uk i have some keywords not within the top 50 - i have just done a spot check (coping & pasting) direct from Moz to google.co.uk and out of 4 i have checked 1 keyword i am number 4 and 1 keyword i am page 3 - therefore within the top 50. This leads me to believe that there is something wrong with Moz - here is 1 example "land in the cayman islands" i am showing in moz as not in the top 50 when i am showing on Google as number.4

Hey John,
Just wanted to check in and see if you were still seeing any discrepancies with your rankings.
Cheers!

Make sure you are not logged into your Google+ account at the time of checking your rankings and also clean your cookies.

apologies
I did think for a second after writing "He" maybe I should have said "the person" or "they", but then laziness kicked in
-
Thanks i will do that now.

If you are really sure that there are mistakes in the software then you should probably contact the Moz Technical Support.
If you contact them and together you will find something out let me know what the outcome is.

Hi - I have just tried **&pws=0 **and it is still number 4 - I have also had a few people try and it is number 4 (cashed cleared etc) - i have checked the capitals and everything in Moz to make sure it is exactly the same (i copied and pasted it direct from Moz). I have 72 keywords on this campaign and i have just done a check on all the keywords that are not in the top 50 - Moz states i have 21 out of the 72 not in the top 50 (for co.uk) however my colleague and i just checked and 7 out of the 21 are in the top 50. I have used moz for a long time and i dont question its technology however in this case there are some definite errors.

He's a she! And yes that's what I meant
-
John, did you use an incognito browser where you are not logged in to your Google account?
-
he means when you manuly search google gives you personal results that can be very different to what everyone else gets
so if you search oasis-land.com, the url is :
add &pws=0 to the end of that url
that will give you results with personal results turned off
note: we track .co.uk and have had no problems with moz's tracking
-
No. Add to the end of the search results URL after the results have been returned

-
Do you want me to add that ending within my moz campaign?
-
Hi - Thank you for your quick response, i got crawled last night and i had the same result (no.4) yesterday day. Thank you
-
Hi,
Don't know what site you have but I get <cite>oasis-land.com </cite>at 4.
Your spot check Google results might be skewed by personalisation. Try adding &pws=0 at the end of the URL and see if results change
-
Make sure that when you are checking your rankings you are using a clean browser without any saved cookies and add &gl=uk to the top of the URL.
If they are still different it's possible that you've gone up in the time between the last ranking check....

We need your expertise! Do you have a tool hack or trick you use with Moz Pro?
Hey friends! We're looking for any tricks and tips you have for other people using Pro. Everyone has their own way of doing things. We'd love to see if you have any hacks you've created.

Is the Moz Ranking Report correct?
Hello here, today I got my weekly report from Moz by email and it reported a strong decline of rankings on some of our major keywords. Then I went to check on Google personally, and instead I found my pages ranked much higher than reported by Moz (please note that my results wasn't personalized...). I also use a desktop program to check my rankings, and what I found personally on Google corresponded to what my desktop program reported me. Here is an example: my website is virtualsheetmusic.com, and Moz reported a rank NOT in top 50 for the following keyword: "moonlight sonata sheet music" Whereas we are actually on the 19th spot. Another example for the keyword "czardas violin sheet music", Moz reports NOT in top 50, whereas we are actually at the 5th spot on the first page of Google results! Why's this? Anyone can explain? Is there anything wrong with Moz ranking report?

Error in Moz duplicate content reports
Hi - I've run the Moz campaign on a client's site. Moz is saying that there are duplicate content errors, and when I look at the errors it is showing that they are all to do with the non-www URLs having being duplicated in the www form of the URLs. However this is not the case - all the non-www URLs are all 301 redirected to the www URLs. Is this an error in the Moz tool? Has anybody experienced something similar?
