Rank Tracker not Working.
-
That's all. It has not worked for last 3 days I believe. I use Google Chrome.

Thanks Rand. I hadn't thought about a plug-in causing a conflict. I'll try disabling them and see if I can find the cause that way. It works fine in Safari, so that would make sense.

Hi Andy - never heard that one before... Very odd. I just looked in your account using my Chrome browser and your data looks fine to me, so my guess is that there's a setting in Chrome or possibly an extension that's causing the visibility problems. Unfortunately, browser troubleshooting isn't my specialty, but you might try installing Firefox or even Internet Explorer and seeing if you can see the data that way temporarily. In Chrome, you could try disabling extensions and/or doing an uninstall/reinstall (make sure you have another browser installed before you uninstall Chrome though or it will be a pain to re-download it).
Good luck!

Here's the issue I'm having, and I'm not sure if it's related to the DDoS attacks. My campaign data doesn't appear when I'm using Chrome. The site loads, I can view the list of campaigns, and I'm even typing this in Chrome, but the actual data of my campaigns will not show. It's almost like there's some setting in Chrome blocking that, but I've done nothing to my browser settings. This is the same on my home MacBook Air and my work MacBook Pro. Any clue what might be causing this particular issue?

Thanks for the details.
Hang in there. Tell staff we are cheering for them.

FYI - Rank Tracker appears to be back up and working for me. Not sure if we have the "all clear" from engineering, but you might want to give it another spin. I was able to successfully get the right rankings back on my queries just now.

Well, here's the complex thing - every time we share anything about the DDoS - on Twitter for example, or in the press (including when that NYTimes article was published), the DDoS crew hits us again. This weekend was insanely hard. Our tech ops team are staying up 30 hours in a row, missing meals, missing their families. It's pretty horrifying, and it's been going on for months.
It was only the first time they wanted a few hundred, then they emailed for thousands, now they don't even email anymore - they're clearly just out for revenge because we've been helping other companies to stop them using what we've learned.
My bias was to want to share that stuff, too. Unfortunately, if we do, not only do we risk more attacks, but we risk the attackers finding new vulnerabilities based on what we say we've done. It's an all around very sucky situation, and one of those times when we simply can't be as transparent as we'd like.

That is a great suggestion, EGOL. I will definitely pass it on.
And this. "These guys must be pissants if they are only asking for a few hundred bucks. Would be funny to see Mr Skinner point at the camera and say... "We didn't pay-off a $200 pissant and we will not pay you." Ha! No kidding, right??
-
You are quite welcome, Sammie. Again, thanks so much for understanding. You rock!
-
OK thank you for the update.
-
Wow. Thanks for the update. I'd like to see a WhiteBoard friday about this after its sorted out with graphics on how DDoS are carried out and how they are deflected. And, how you know its happening to you.

Hi, I am so sorry about this! Unfortunately, we are still experiencing intermittent issues with our tools as a result of DDoS attacks over the weekend. Moz engineers are working hard to resolve this. For status updates on all Moz products, please visit Moz Health. For details on the DDoS attacks against Moz and others, please read this article from _The New York Times - _ Tally of Cyber Extortion on Tech Companies Grows.
Thanks so much for your patience. We appreciate it!!
Kind Wishes,
Christy

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.

KW Explorer is Working to Disambiguate Keywords Google Merges Together
Hey gang, Russ Jones from Moz has been doing a ton of heavy lifting work to try to get around the new problem posed by Google AdWords recent change to merged-keyword volume data. But, we're fighting back against this obfuscation in Keyword Explorer. I'm sharing two emails (slightly edited) from Russ about what we're doing here: Introduction to the Problem: Google Adwords Keyword Planner is the primary source for keyword search volume (how often a keyword is searched monthly on Google) for much of the search marketing industry. While Google has grouped together highly-similar terms for a while (especially misspellings), in June of 2016 they dramatically increased this keyword-grouping. This means similar phrases like "keyword rank", "keyword ranking" and "keyword rankings" would all be reported as having the same, combined search volume, rather than their individual search volumes. If you were to take Google's numbers at face value, you might think there are 3,000 searches per month for these 3 terms, when in reality there is only 1,000, divided amongst the 3 terms. How we are addressing it: Moz's Keyword Explorer uses a blend of data sources, not just Keyword Planner, to build our volume metrics. This gives us a distinct advantage in that we can adjust the volume of words that deviate dramatically in one data set verses another. Take for example the phrases "keyword rank", "keyword ranking", and "keyword rankings". While Google Keyword Planner might report all of these as having 1,000 searches per month, Moz Keyword Explorer can detect that these numbers are significantly higher than what our models would predict given our other data sets. We can then adjust the volume accordingly. Moreover, given our huge keyword data set, we can also identify grouped phrases (like these 3) and divide the volume proportionally to what we see in our other data sets. Thus, we address the grouping problem from multiple directions. Here's email #2 from Russ, detailing more of how we're attacking this: I have been working pretty much non-stop on this keyword volume disambiguation problem (finding the real search volume of individual keywords when Google clumps several together). I think I have settled on a pretty good solution and am working on getting it all in. For example... Google Keyword Volume for the phrases "briefcase for women" and "briefcases for women" are both at 3600 because they have been lumped together. My disambiguation script says the singular (briefcase for women) should be 2731 and the plural should be 869. Google Trends roughly agrees with this, showing that the singular is searched more than 2x the plural: https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=briefcase%20for%20women%2C%20briefcases%20for%20women&cmpt=q&tz=Etc%2FGMT%2B4 Basically, Keyword Explorer should already be providing some more accurate/segmented numbers than AdWords, and in the future, we'll get even better thanks to our clickstream data and our evolving models. Any questions, let us know!

Keyword Rankings vs. Rank Tracker research tool
I have a campaign tracking several keywords. On my Keyword Rankings report I'm not in the top 50 for anything. When I use the Rank Tracker tool, my rankings are quite high (I have 2 in the top 5). When I use the Rank Tracker tool I've noticed that I'm able to point to specific URLs on my website (not the main page). When looking on my Keyword Rankings report, the URL is usually empty. So what am I missing? Have I configured something incorrectly? Can I update the URLs on the Keyword Rankings report so the rankings will be reflective of the Rank Tracker tool? OSQdLmb nMnOQim

Anyone else seeing completely wrong metrics for rank tracker?
I'm really upset, I have used it to work on a spreadsheet with thousands of words and today I decided to check and a keyword we rank #1 for showed as not in top 50. This makes me very nervous.

Moz ranking report shows massive loss in Bing SERP's. But it is not the case?
My weekly ranking report shows massive loss of SERP's on Bing. For most keywords I was no longer in the top 50 which where first top 5. But when I checked it out for myself, I'm still ranked top 5 for these keywords. I then used the Moz Rank Tracker and there it also says I'm still ranking top 5 for these keywords. What should I believe now?
