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?

Thank you!

I'm not aware of a change, but I'm glad to hear the data is matching what you're seeing. Thanks for letting us know!
-
UPDATE: today I got my new report from Moz and now the data is right! Have you guys fixed anything on your side? Just curious... anyhow, now everything looks good! Thanks!
-
Sorry just found: it is actually setup with the domain "www.virtualsheetmusic.com" so that should be good! What do you think?

Hi Keri.
How can I check how my campaign is set up? I tried to find that out but I can't find where that can be defined.
Thanks for your help!

Is your campaign set up with or without the www subdomain? If your campaign is set up for non-www and the results you're seeing are on www, that would be the reason (and it's a common reason).
We have more details about our rankings report at http://moz.com/help/pro/rankings. If that doesn't answer your question, it's best to submit a ticket to the help desk and see if there's some type of error. Thanks!

Cities in Keywords Ranking Reports
So I've been in the habit of creating a master list of keywords concatenated with the city name so I can track my local rankings versus competitors. 1. Is this the correct thing to do to help hone in on who competitive my sites are ranking in the local market? 2. If so, by doing this the On Page reports seem to be totally screwed, because the searches I'm tracking (with city) vs the keywords I want to analyse for on-page ranking (without city), are different. What is the solution?

Pagerank Update - Decreased Rankings
After the PR update the other day, some of my domain names gained PR (from 0 to 3 or 4) but the kw rank they held previously dropped off the map. Its clear the term pagerank is ill defined. Does anyone have any insight into this?

Exporting ranking stats; errors
previously, when I went to export the weekly rank stats, the csv opened into excel and everything was fine. This week, one campaign data will not export other than purely in comma deliniated and will not translate to colums in ecel. A second campaign does export directly to excel but the data showing (on 27th June) is for the 22 february (report created march 1). so all my spread sheets for position analysis are up the creek and I cant even get last weeks positional report on my key domain. any thoughts??

Keyword Rankings Question
Does the Keyword Rankings tool track all urls or just the main. Example: Say I put www.domain.com to have tracked. Will the Keyword Rankings tool also track www.domain.com/landing-page and any derivative of the main domain or would this be considered a separate campaign. Thanks
