Competitor Rank: DA Tracking Available but Keyword Ranking Not Tracked?
-
I'm tracking a competitor who is very active and also very successful in terms of DA (via MOZ.) However, their domain shows up as "Not in Top 50" for every keyword ranking I track. I've verified via manual tracking of natural results (even with a proxy) that they are competitive with my rankings. It stands to reason that MOZ can track the domain because of the ability to monitor DA successfully. Is there any reason keyword rankings would be "cloaked" or unavailable to the MOZ algorithm when DA metrics are available?

Hi there Jan,
Thanks for reaching out to us. I am sorry to hear that you might be finding some inconsistencies within our tool
Without knowing 100% of the KW and the url you are tracking, I am not exactly sure how to address this question to your liking (while respecting your client's privacy). However I can say that if they are being pretty successful on the DA side, mostly likely they will do well in certain rankings. Please keep in mind that our competitor's tracker uses exact match when it comes to extracting data for a url. For example, if you are tracking www.abc.com as a competitor, then our tool will only go out and look for instances where www.abc.com comes up on a KW search, so any other instances where it doesn't match the subdomain we will not report (i.e. non-www site).
I hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any questions and I will be glad to jump right on it!
Best,
Peter

Keyword List issue
Hi, I have created a keyword list with 500 phrases and your software has been set as "Gathering Data" for hours now. I have closed, re-opened, refreshed multiple times and still nothing. Does it really take that long or is there some sort of issue?

How can keyword explorer help me search on a more local level?
I am a total novice at this. I am taking the tutorial and the first thing she addresses is Keyword Explorer. It makes sense to me, but what doesn't is that it asks me to look for keywords in USA. I need to explore keywords on a local level. Anyone out there who can help me with this? am I over my head with Moz Pro if I am a complete novice?

So the page-grader is giving my site an A, but it is ranking below some websites that the grader gives an F to. What is the point of the page grader?
Basically, I am new to this..very new. In fact, my field was neuroscience, and now I work in marketing.. I just started using seomoz, and for one website that I build. I followed all of the guidelines moz has to offer. On the grade section, I got an for a specific keyword. However, when I rate my site for that keyword, it does not even rank in the top 50. The keyword is even in the domain! Also, some sites that rank in the top 25 have an F rating for the same keyword. Why do they rank higher?

Here's the thing. I need to find bad external links pointing to my site. Is Link Detox the only option or I can actually use Open Site Explorer for that. If OSE is an option, please give me an idea how I need to go about it. Thanks.
