Is there a way to track mobile rankings vs desktop rankings in Moz?
-
With the new release of Google's mobile algorithm we want to start tracking keywords mobile vs desktop. Any suggestions?
-
I have done that for my mobile domain, m.ramjet.com, and i am seeing the same stats as I have on my desktop version. Any suggestions?

The way that I tracked mobile performance (before my site became responsive) was in GWT. If you go to Search Traffic > Search Queries, at the top of the page select filters, Search > Mobile. This will give you a pretty broad scope of where some of your key terms fall. Here is what you should see.

Jared - so sorry for the delay here! Essentially with Moz we don't separate any data out within a specific campaign but that's not to say you can't do so. For example say you have a website domain.com. if users are redirected to a domain.com/mobile or mobile.domain.com you can set these up as different campaigns so that you can track them separately. If the website is a responsive domain and all of it lives under domain.com and adjusts to the screen size Moz will not be able to track it separately.

James can you elaborate a bit on your answer?
-
Right now we do not have a dedicated workflow for mobile vs. desktop pages however if they are contained in their own sub folder or sub domain you can set up a campaign used Advanced Features in the campaign setup.

At the moment a few workflows can include addressing any errors in "Mobile Usability" in GWT under Search Traffic; looking at landing page performance under Audience >> Mobile >> Landing Page as a secondary dimension and comparing that to results in desktop; and parsing out mobile visits with secondary dimension as source / medium (looking at google / organic)...
Not very exacting, but you should be able to get an idea pretty quickly of whether or not mobile is performing drastically different than desktop percentage-wise.

Track ranking history
I'm trying to find out how a keyword phrase ranked over time. I remember how to do it on the old Moz platform, but do not see it in the new platform. I've checked the help files and forums and the information seems outdated because it mentions to click on a link that is not there. Michael

All in favor of an "Announcements" category section say MOZ!
So this is just a thought. I am not Rand, therefor I am not the Moz man himself, and therefor I am not telling anybody how to run this website or forum. But, I've been thinking... and usually that a dangerous thing. So many times when I answer a question I end it with: "Keep me posted" "Keep us updated" "Good Luck" In the same light there have been plenty of times when I have had my questions answered by people like EGOL, RobertFIsher, KeriMorget and they have said that they have wanted me to keep them posted. Now sure, some of you are sitting there being Melancholy Mozzers thinking that all those wonderful people are just being polite by adding some nice parting words... but what if I they are being Sincere Seoers? What if I WANT to fill them in and don't want to ask a question? What if... THEY REALLY LIKE ME?!?! I could also send a DM to those 3 people, I mean let's get honest I'm not THAT popular.... but I can dream can't I? Again, this isn't really an SEO question, more of a thought on where I'm supposed to give updates on my project. In all honesty I do want feedback on what I'm doing, and sometimes I don't even know what questions I'm supposed to ask!

Moz Crawl Test: Referrer is sitemap.gz?
Hi,
Moz Bar | | Titan552
I'm looking at a crawl test report, and I'm seeing that most of the pages have the sitemamp.gz file listed as the referrer. As I recall in my other reports the referrer is usually the root domain - unless of course there's a redirect. Does having sitemap.gz as the referrer indicate a problem? If so, what problem does it indicate? Thanks!0 -
