Started my first campaign - keyword rankings do not match
-
Hello,
I started my first campaign on SEOmoz and my keword position do not match the results I receive by using google search or by using another SEO program.
For example - Ingersoll Watches should be on position 6 on google.com - SEOmoz shows me Ingersoll Watches is on 16.
Why does SEOmoz show different results?
Thank you for your attention!

awesome, glad i could help!

Thank you for your answer - I tried all the possible tools for datacenter google search - none worked but I am sure now this is the problem.

Another possibility is that your rankings reports may be pulling from different google data centers while geo-location and local results compound the problem. For example, SEOmoz may be pulling from different data center than your other tool - while your location will play a role in the shuffling of results as well. Although, in my experience, I believe geo has more impact on different rankings than synch issues between data centers now that Google is placing more local biz in the results up front. Run a ranking report test with both tools from the same data center as well as the same geo and review the results ...

Let me know if this helps.

Thank you for your answer - I knew that and that is why i always clear cookies when i do a search + i am not logged on my google account. The program i am using is showing me those results - Rank tracker from spyglass - I guess the program is just a bad one then.

Hey Cristian,
Google alters the results based on personal preference. You've most likely clicked on your link a few times, and if so, Google is showing you it higher up the rankings thinking it might be what you're looking for.
If you do a search through a proxy website (ie with a different I.P address) you should see the 'real' rankings.

Rankings confusion in pro campaign
Hello Moz-world! I recently set up a new campaign, and the crawl is still in the process of wrapping up (been 4 days). When I look at my rankings it tells me "not in the top 50" then when I scroll over, it shows me that my client is ranking in position 3, in the instance of one keyword. Anyone know why there is a discrepancy between what the report shows, and what it shows when you mouse over the rankings? Thanks! Tyler

Is it possible to change the order of my campaigns?
I've just upgraded from a PRO to a PRO PLUS account (as if I need more caffine!) and wondered if it were possible to change the order of the campaigns? They seem to be in alphabetical order - which is no problem, but I'm not actually running all the campaigns - I'm only monitoring a few potential sites, so don't want to see them at the top? it's only a niggle, not a gripe, but wondered it it were possible - or if not, can I show more than 5 campaigns at once rather than scrolling. As always, thanks in advance. G.

SEOmoz ranking report SERP
I was wondering how SEOmoz the SERPs tracks? e.g. the SERP of keyword in the Google US report, doesn't give me the same result as https://www.google.com/search?pws=0&gl=us&q=keyword Does SEOmoz check the google.com SERPs from several locations and calculate an average?
