Did Google Turn Off the Rank Tracking API ??
-
I might be responding too soon on this... but has anyone been able to use the Moz rank tracker or any other web-based rank-tracking tool that uses the Google API since about noon today (NYC TIME)??

OK - glad to hear that. If you ever encounter an outage that's longer than 10-15 mins, please don't hesitate to ping our help team (help@moz.com). Hope you're well EGOL!

Thanks, Rand.
Good to know that you have these tests built-in.
Since about noon yesterday and into this morning, when I clicked the blue refresh buttons for a keyword, that keyword jumped to the top of the list, spun for a bit and did not return a ranking. I just tried a few and am getting better results.

Our one-off rank tracker: https://moz.com/researchtools/rank-tracker and the rank tracking inside Moz Analytics: http://analytics.moz.com/dashboard/overview/ seems to be working fine. We have an early warning detection system on the engineering side that goes off if we're having trouble, and there hasn't been a blip today.

No problems at my end, but I think the ranking service I use is crawler based.

I saw this today, I don't know if you are familiar with it, http://www.notprovidedcount.com/ and this http://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-gone-100-provided-secure-search/70799/ They could also be affecting things.

Thank you Lesley and Jonathan.
The ranking monitors that I use are not working. Also, today most of the searches being done through google are not showing keywords in analytics programs. My [keyword not provided] counts are up between 25% and 35% on all of my sites. I figured that while Google was at it they would cut off our rank checking abilities.

I do not know if it related, but ther has been a pretty big gmail issue all day. It seems that they understated the problem this morning, but re-adjusted it this evening saying around 50% of accounts were affected. It might have something to do with it, who knows how Google's networks and infrastructure is actually set up. http://techcrunch.com/2013/09/23/gmails-ongoing-email-slow-down-nearing-resolution/

I use another web based tracker that checks the rankings daily. I guess I will find out tomorrow, and will update this thread then. I am not sure they use an API though. TBH I didn't realise they used Api's for this.

What do you do when there is significant movement when checking a Ranking & Algorithm tracking tool?
I've checked various Ranking & Algorithm tracking tools (SEMrush, Mozcast etc.) and since 12th Jan 18 there has been a lot of 'turbulence' in terms predicted Google algorithm changes. This has been 'high' for the past 2 weeks. Question is, would you 'hang tight and ride the wave' or 'act fast'? Our actual rankings haven't really been affected positively or negatively - so I'm thinking I should just ride the wave to see what happens but keep a close eye on the rankings?

Editing Keywords in Moz Keyword Tracking Under Campaigns
Hi all, Some questions for Moz Pro Campaigns Setup Q1
Moz Bar | | SP1
As part of Moz Pro, we've created a campaign to track a set number of keywords and it seems that 2-3 of the keywords have been entered as a misspelling so I wanted to know how I can edit them to be corrected? Under "Add & Manage Keyword" I do see the keywords however do I need to click on "Show More" in order to scroll over to the keywords I need to edit / correct? Q2Eager to know if duplicated keywords are omitted when they are entered into the campaign. So if someone had entered in "abc123" twice in the list of 600 keywords will the 2nd instance of abc123 be removed when the keyword list is submitted into Moz? Cheers,

On-page Grader API?
Hi guys, I have a massive list of keywords i want to optimise against a specific URL. I'm checking them manually with the MOZ on-page grader to determine if the keyword is optimised for the URL (Grade A score). I was wondering if there is a way to pull the scores automatically for each URL with the MOZ api? Or does anyone know of any tools which can automate this process? Cheers, Chris
