Rankings failure?
-
The rankings for all our keywords, and for our competitors as well as us, according to SEO moz have all but completely dropped off the radar.
For the vast majority of the keywords, both us and our competitors are showing as not even in the Top 50, despite previously being top 20, first page and top 3 for a large number of them.
What's happened? Would this be due to Google, or has some sort of error occurred seoMoz's end?
The rankings have dropped so badly for all four websites I can't believe for a second they're real.
Thanks.

Hi Andy,
We saw some temporary issues with Google.co.uk last week but everything should be good for your latest rankings update. If you experience issues in the future please write into help@seomo.org using the email associated with your account so that we can assist you further.
I'm so sorry about the inconvenience but everything should be back to normal now.

There's a great tool you can get for firefox that gives you the position in the top 200 ranking results for whatever your keyword is... http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/rank-checker/
You can change localisation options and check rankings on demand in all the major search engines. For times when a weekly top 50 check isn't enough then it's a great little tool to have

Check your analytics, if your traffic hasn't dropped significantly then it's the tool. Also, as mentioned manually check your rankings.
Also do a google trademark search for your domain to see if the site is not penalized itself. Just go to google.com and type in the name of your domain with everything stripped away for example if your site is:
http://www.mygreatsite.com then go to goole and type in "mygreatsite"
If you're not in the top results your site may have a trademark suppression. Or you can use an online Google penalty tool checker but no guarantee that that tool isn't broken as well

We had the same issue last week - seems to have been resolved now, but was a bit terrifying for a while! Would have been nice if there had been some kind of announcement concerning the problem.

Hi Andy,
well, they should know about it: http://www.seomoz.org/q/pro-dashboard-rankings-report-not-accurate-for-the-uk
And though back then I did not have any issues, I am having issues with our German / Austrian / Swiss rankings this week. I would still advise you to open a ticket, so SEOmoz see that many people are affected and it might also help them to sort the issue out, if they get more information.
-
As I thought then. I guess it's fair enough they've got a problem, but some sort of announcement, possibly via email, wouldn't have gone too far amiss! Assuming they know about it.
Thanks.

A lot of people are having issues with the SEOmoz rank tool at the moment.
Double check your rankings manually and if they're fine assume it's the tool.

High DA, PA and A grade at page level not ranking in SERP - why?
I ran a full keyword ranking report against my competitors. My site clearly tops all KPIs with highest DA, PA, mT/mR etc. My page also get's an A for page otimisation, but is ranking lower than sites with an F. There have been no manual actions and I am at a loss to explain why the page isn't ranking. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers

Search Volume in Keyword Rankings Page
Is there a way to show search volumes for keywords in the Keyword Rankings tab page? A lot of times keywords we are ranking for are added to our campaign, and it would be very useful to see the search volumes within that grid. That way we could sort by the search volume and determine which keywords are worth targeting and optimizing for. I've had this ability with other software in the past and would be a great option for either Moz Pro version or the new Beta that is coming out. Which I'm still waiting for my invite BTW:)

Find Historical SERP Ranking for a Term?
Is there any way to find out what pages ranked for a given term historically? I.e. what were the top 10 search results for "Widgets" 6 months ago, 1 year ago, 2 years ago? If I had a campaign tracking that term, I'd be able to look back, but I do not. Does this data exist anywhere in a format that could be queried?

Ultimate Ranking Tool integrating Analytics / Adwords / Google WM Tools
I currently use SEOMOZ Campaigns and Advanced Web Ranking for monitoring our KW rankings and those of competition. AWR is a brilliant tool with so many different reports, methods of viewing etc. SEOMOZ campaigns are good but don't come close to the monitoring power of AWR (EG I monitor over 50 competitors on over 1000 KW's on a Daily basis with AWR and recieve a variety of set emailed reports on the data). However, one thing that SEOMOZ campaigns have that is useful is the traffic data - but this is still a bit basic and I think could be improved. The problem with AWR is that it doesn't integrate with your Analytics / Adwords / Google WM Tools - so it is only showing you half the picture. Knowing how your site ranks for each keyword is helpful, but it would be nice to understand the value of each keyword. For example, being able to see your rank position and how much traffic that keyword has sent you over time would be helpful. It would also be nice to see the number of searches that are performed for that keyword each month . For example, lets say I saw that I was ranking at number 11 for “hover mower” and getting 500 hits per month. Two months from now, if I was ranking at position 7, it would be nice to be able to immediately see how that changed the amount of traffic I was receiving for the term. Is a position of 11 (first item on page two) better than position 10 (last item on page one)? If you can link it to your analytics, you could then link it to your goals, and goal values to get a complete picture of where your keywords rank the value of the rank, and the improvment on that value when rank changes. If browsed around for such software but can't find anything like this - does anyone know of any software that can do this - or something close to this? Many thanks

How Long For New Keyword Rank Data?
I have a PRO account and added the initial keywords and got the immediate rankings for those. Then I added new keywords and those have not been updated. How long do I have to wait to get Keyword Ranking data on those keywords. I know it says they are updated every Friday, but does that mean I have to wait until next Friday for my first run of data on new keywords?? I ask because I have to present to a client before then and I require the data for that meeting. Any insight is appreciated.
