Lower PA and DA but ranking at #5
-
Hello everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help me suss out what I'm missing here. There are two issues that have me pretty confused.
#1: Ubersuggest is correctly indicated a ranking for this web page while it's not mentioned anywhere in Moz as a ranking keyword.
#2: The page is ranking at #5 on page 1 for this search term and beating out the likes of rollingstone.com and other 90+ DA and 50+ PA results while only having a PA 15 and DA 22.
My concern here is that I'm missing out on other rankings that might actually be attainable.

Hi there!
For your first query, it sounds like you're looking at Keyword Explorer Ranking Keywords - is that right? If so, I would note that while our database is quite large, it doesn't contain all keywords for all locations. This is why it's common for folks to use a range of tools as each will have a slightly different database with different strengths to do their keyword research.
In regards to your second query, I would echo Alick300's reply, that the thread they shared is a wealth of information.
Basically PA and DA indicate the likelihood that a page or domain will rank. However what page will actually rank for any given search is really up to the search engine algorithm, they consider a while array of factors, to do with on-page and off-page optimization. relevancy and authority.
We've got a very comprehensive guide to DA which I strongly recommend.
I hope this helps to clarify!

Ranking now showing on google
So. its kind of weird. on my campaign keywords tracking I now have 4 keywords that my client site is being ranked for. (on Monday it was 2) however on Monday and now too. I cannot find my website when I try and search that keyword manually. i understand that Moz does not update and search every keyword every day but even after a few days now. also the rank tracker show different results for same keywords and these results too seems not accurate what am i missing?

What do you do when there is significant movement when checking a Ranking & Algorithm tracking tool?
I've checked various Ranking & Algorithm tracking tools (SEMrush, Mozcast etc.) and since 12th Jan 18 there has been a lot of 'turbulence' in terms predicted Google algorithm changes. This has been 'high' for the past 2 weeks. Question is, would you 'hang tight and ride the wave' or 'act fast'? Our actual rankings haven't really been affected positively or negatively - so I'm thinking I should just ride the wave to see what happens but keep a close eye on the rankings?

Anyone experiencing similar issues and anyone have any ideas why the inconsistency? Thanks

Keyword Ranking Report Blank
I have a custom ranking report set up to run every month. The module that shows the overall changes (how many improved, how many dropped, number in rank #1-3, etc.) populates with data, but the keyword ranking for tracked keywords listing is blank for all keywords, all search engines. I haven't changed anything in my campaigns - why is this reporting blank? Thanks!

Why Moz Rank tracker's results are different from results search in browser?
I would like to perform a competitor rank analysis in Google.gr . I have noticed that the results from the rank tracker for Google.gr are different than the results in Google.gr from a machine located in Greece with no Google account logged in. Could you inform me why such a behavior occurs?

Rank Tracker Inconsistencies
My rank tracker reports are odd. The 'Changes From Last Week' don't align with the numbers in the other reports I have been getting. For instance, it will say +3 for a particular search term and show the Latest Ranking to be the same as it has been for a couple of weeks. There has been no +3 to the ranking according to the reports. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks!
