Rank Tracker Inconsistencies
-
My rank tracker reports are odd. The 'Changes From Last Week' don't align with the numbers in the other reports I have been getting. For instance, it will say +3 for a particular search term and show the Latest Ranking to be the same as it has been for a couple of weeks. There has been no +3 to the ranking according to the reports.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks!

Hi Gina! Sorry about the radio silence. We pushed a fix on October 15th that should have addressed this. Are things still looking weird on your end?

it is working better for my KWs.

Yes, I agree. I see the same thing. Has been like this for a long time. Not only in the emails we receive but also in the online reports.
The change column is the most important column on the report but it is close to 100% inaccurate.
Historical change numbers linger on that report - for months. Recent change numbers do not appear.
If you don't remember your rankings from the previous report or before you click the refresh button, you have no idea if you are up or down.
I say that the change column is the most important column of the report because if it is working properly you can glance up and down that column and based upon the amount of green or the amount of red you can tell if it was a good week.

Moz Rankings vs DuckDuckGo
Hello, So we have a client that’s only interested in a handful of keywords. We would like track his rankings through a Moz Campaign but he currently uses Duck Duck Go to check them. Strictly from an accuracy perspective (and not necessarily added features like Mobile Rankings) is there any arguments we could use to convert them to Moz? If not we will let them know but any input would be appreciated. Looking forward to hearing from all of you! Thank you in advance for the help. Best,

Is Moz going to provide mobile ranking tools?
With the mobilegeddon update quickly approaching us on April 21, I wanted to know if Moz is going to provide any insight into mobile rankings vs. desktop rankings? Are there any other tools we can use to benchmark and gain insight into this kind of data?

Create a report with keyword, label, difficulty, global search volume, and ranking?
Is it possible to create a report with containing keyword, label, difficulty, global search volume, and ranking? Currently in order to get the data, it seems like I need to manage two lists, the keyword list we are tracking and the keyword list in the Difficulty tool then somehow manually combine the data. Is there an easier way?

Need a Reliable Free Bulk Keyword Rank Checker
I have 2,871 keywords that I need to check Google rank for on 4 separate domains. Does anyone know of any FREE tools or plugins available that will allow for this volume that wont get my IP banned by Google? Even the Moz Rank Checker only allows to enter 1 keyword at a time for up to 200 per day. Who would seriously enter in 200 keywords, one by one all day, every day?

Rank tracker
I know I being a bit daft here so bear with me.... I am using the rank tracker to track changes to keywords over time. The "track History button" is clicked to track these keywords. But when I download the CSV, the columns for last week, last month etc are empty. Only the latest column is populated. I believe I set this up last month. Shoudn't those columns hold the tracked rankings from this time? What am I doing wrong?

SEOMOZ On page ranking reports update
I've recently made a load of changes to improve the on page ranking report grades for my site. I was givena C grade for this page: http://www.katalysticevents.com/luxury-wedding-teepee-hire-about/ based on two key phrases Wedding Tipi and Wedding Teepeee. I've made all the changes as advised (excluding H1 tag) by the report but when I rereun the report it's picking up old page data and showing the same problems. Is there some kind of cache thing I'm missing here? The confusing thing is I made the same series of changes for this page: www.katalysticevents.com/luxury-marquee-hire-services/ for Luxury marquee and luxury marquee hire and the results are fine...I've got an A grade. Examples are things like ALT image attirbutes which don't seem to show up on the first page but are fine on the second page.

Rank Report color coding
As I recall the weekly Rank Report used green and red to indicate an increase or decrease in page rank. Now, there isn't even a minus sign for a drop in page rank. If the current page rank is 10 and it dropped 5, all I see is 10 and 5. How am I supposed to know at a glance that it dropped 5 without having to pull up the historical graph? Best,
