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.

Lower PA and DA but ranking at #5
Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me suss out what I'm missing here. There are two issues that have me pretty confused. #1: Ubersuggest is correctly indicated a ranking for this web page while it's not mentioned anywhere in Moz as a ranking keyword. #2: The page is ranking at #5 on page 1 for this search term and beating out the likes of rollingstone.com and other 90+ DA and 50+ PA results while only having a PA 15 and DA 22. My concern here is that I'm missing out on other rankings that might actually be attainable.

Rank Tracker Tool Accurate?
Hi Everyone, Just wondering if you all have been noticing inaccurate information in the rank tracker tool. Many terms are showing not in top 50, yet when i search from random devices that have never accessed my website before i find the url to be in the top 50. Anyone experiencing similar issues and anyone have any ideas why the inconsistency? Thanks

Conversion tracking within Moz reports?
Hey guys, Quick question and apologies if this has been asked before, but is there an option within MOZ reporting (Pro) that allows you to focus on conversions for your clients? I'm finding rankings to be a very poor indicator of success. I'd much rather focus on conversions, and present this information to the client within my reports. Thanks
