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!

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.

Import Keywords from 1 campaign to another
Hi There, I've got one campaign set up and just created another in my dashboard. I have roughly 300 keywords added and categorized in campaign 1. I want to export these exact keywords, (and to also remain categorized the same), into campaign 2. How can I do this without having to add each keyword individually and recreating the categories again? Basically, I want to export my keywords/copy/past from one campaign, to another. I don't want to set everything up again. How can I do this? Thanks, Reena.

Keyword analysis - error with difficulty %
Hello everyone! Edge of all, I like and I use very often the "Keyword analysis" tool . However, recently, I have some difficulty to rely on the difficulty % of the keywords I've added. As an example I entered as keywords for a french speaking client, words with a geographical reference. It gives me a percentage too high because I am almost convinced that it would probably not be difficult to work with. My question is: is there any known errors with keywords georeferenced French (google canada - english) and also what to trust when I want proof of the difficulty of a keyword in case of some errors may occur in the tool.

Bing Not Complete in Ranking Report
Curious as to what the "FRI" image means under Bing on my Keyword Ranking reports? I saw this on Friday and assumed it hadn't crawled yet (as it was to set to crawl on Friday Jan 27, 2012) but here we are Monday AM and I'm still seeing the same thing. Glf4F.jpg

Ranking Tracker not correct?
Over the last 6 weeks I've been linkbuilding for one of my customers. The search term is: bed and breakfast portugal. It is not easy but we are making progress. The goal is the number 1 page (top 10 results) in Google.nl I've been keeping score with Rank Tracker and also created a campaign. Last week we were still ranked 11 (for some time already) according to Rank Tracker but tuesday we made a jump to number 7. Whoehoe you would say but opening up Chrome and Firefox browser I am still seeing www.bedandbreakfast-casaceedina.com on the 2nd page? Maybe somebody can give me an explanation? I've de-personalized my search and also Rank tracker show s the command they are using: http://www.google.nl/search?q=bed+and+breakfast+portugal&pws=0 However also using that I'm not seeing my client back at position 7. How can the Rank tracker information be so wrong, I was hoping not off course 🙂 Your help is appreciated very much.

How can I change (specifically, decrease) the reporting/crawling frequency of the keyword ranking?
It always seem to compare the standings based on the week before, which confuses the issue when I'm only reporting monthly or quarterly. Is there currently (or might there be in the future) a way to set this so that the comparison is based on a time period that I specify?
