Competitor Rank: DA Tracking Available but Keyword Ranking Not Tracked?
-
I'm tracking a competitor who is very active and also very successful in terms of DA (via MOZ.) However, their domain shows up as "Not in Top 50" for every keyword ranking I track. I've verified via manual tracking of natural results (even with a proxy) that they are competitive with my rankings. It stands to reason that MOZ can track the domain because of the ability to monitor DA successfully. Is there any reason keyword rankings would be "cloaked" or unavailable to the MOZ algorithm when DA metrics are available?

Hi there Jan,
Thanks for reaching out to us. I am sorry to hear that you might be finding some inconsistencies within our tool
Without knowing 100% of the KW and the url you are tracking, I am not exactly sure how to address this question to your liking (while respecting your client's privacy). However I can say that if they are being pretty successful on the DA side, mostly likely they will do well in certain rankings. Please keep in mind that our competitor's tracker uses exact match when it comes to extracting data for a url. For example, if you are tracking www.abc.com as a competitor, then our tool will only go out and look for instances where www.abc.com comes up on a KW search, so any other instances where it doesn't match the subdomain we will not report (i.e. non-www site).
I hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any questions and I will be glad to jump right on it!
Best,
Peter

Keyword moved to 51+
I'm new to Moz so still learning the system. I was just looking at the most significant move down of some keywords. I have one 'flooding carburetor' that moved down 50+. Now my question. How do I figure out which page was used, or is that even a consideration. I have that particular phrase scattered all over the web site. Thanks for the help.

Keyword List issue
Hi, I have created a keyword list with 500 phrases and your software has been set as "Gathering Data" for hours now. I have closed, re-opened, refreshed multiple times and still nothing. Does it really take that long or is there some sort of issue?

When is Previous Month Available in Custom Reports
I was wondering if anyone knows when the previous month is available in the custom reports for a campaign. Specifically, on the 'Add Modules' page my date drop-down has Weekly (Aug 22 - 28) and Monthly (July 2017). I just need to know when Monthly (August 2017) would be available. Thanks.

Explanation of rankings summary - Rankings in top 50 and Keywords that have moved up or down
Question on the exact definition / relationship between the summary of your rankings in the top 50 and the number of keywords that have moved up or down for your selected time frame. To me, I would expect the number of keywords that have moved up (or down) to be more than the sum of any upward movement for the top 50 For example, if it says we had (7) keywords that moved up to 1-3 and (5) moved up to 21-50 and then to the right of that it tells me we have had 5 keywords move up - what does that mean

Keyword Research
I am coming from SERPIQ and Raventools and they both seem to have something that Moz Analytics does not have. I can type in a keyword in either of them and it will deliver up relevant keywords and the search volume for them. Also I can enter a url and get all the keywords that a page is ranking for. Are these just things that are missing from Moz Analytics or am I missing something? They are both really important features to me.
