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!

Is my 404 page set up correctly?
HI there! In using a few different tools, and I have received varied result concerning my 404 page. In WebSite Auditor from Link Assistant, it says my page is set up incorrectly. My webmaster has told me that it is set up correctly, but at this point I'm not entirely sure what's what. Is there another way to test it? I guess i'm not quite sure about the jargon and what "return 404 response code" actually means. Thanks for your help!

Rank Tracking
I just wanted to check with people in the know, A Keyword I'm tracking with the Rank Tracker Research tool is showing #7 in the SEOMoz tool but when I google it myself it isn't showing up in the serps on page 1. I'm assuming that google serps might be distirbuted with a certain "latency" for different users, I just wanted to check check with you guys.

How to change the compare date range on the keyword rankings report?
I'm new to SEO Moz, but not to SEO. I like SEOMoz's keyword rankings, but I also like to show clients improvement (hopefully) from the previous months' ranks. The default appears to be 1-week. How can you show improvement/decline from the previous month?

SEO Moz Bug? Universal Placements
Had a quick look around and can't find anything relating to this. We are doing really well with our universal placements, google places etc. SEOMoz used to recognise them, but now I have no universal placements according to SEOMoz, though they are clearly all still doing well. But in the program, or problem with the data? Thanks Marc

Inbound Links Report Problem
While looking over my competitors inbound link report, they have a reported 5K inbound links. The first 20 listed inbound domains are things like UPS, and other sites that when I look at them, and the source file has no link to their domain at all??? So are they using some kind of Black Hat technique, or is SEOMoz not reporting properly? Help please.

Rankings Report Visits Number timing?
I linked up the reports to my analytics account, and wanted to double check the period it uses for that number. When showing visits what time period is the report showing me? If I double check my stats in GA it looks like the past week but wanted to double check. Thanks!
