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 [email protected] 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.

Keyword Ranking History Chart
The attached image shows the Keyword Ranking History with big downward spirals on Aug 27 and Sep 24th. Yet it's also showing up within the #10-#20 row. What is the official technical reason for why it's in both places? My boss is asking and I'm blanking. 🙂 Just that the URL was found in both spots? B69toK9

Competitor Ranks Highly Despite LOTS of Duplication
One of my Moz campaigns tracks my main competitor. I can't get over the fact that this competitor continues to rank well despite having thousands of duplication issues while I currently have less than 10. Our websites are similar both structurally and product-wise. The two images attached include OSE comparisons for the keyword "kraft envelopes". My competitor ranks #2 for the term, while I rank #9. I don't get why! And again, looking from a top-level perspective, MOZ shows that my competitor's website is full of duplication issues and other problems while my site is healthy as a horse. All responses are greatly appreciated. QmSlfET.jpg 9CDny60.jpg

Switching to a new website & Search Engine Rankings
Hello! We have been doing a lot of work on our SEO over the last few months and are thrilled to be in the top four four "edmonton website design" in our city. However, we are planning to launch a new website soon and are very concerned that this could negatively effect our rankings (as was the case with one of our competitors this week). What tips and techniques can you recommend in this case? On paper, the SEO on our new site is much better than the last - the url structure, contact info and content is much more targeted to our desired search terms, however, I don't want to take any chances. Is there any way to be certain (as certain as possible) that we will not get bumped to page 2? Thanks, Anton

Why are the rankings of my keywords different to rankings from other programmes such as 'Access my Lan' and 'Firefly'? Does SEOMoz count 'Google Places and Maps' in their rank count? Im thinking this could explain the difference

I need a tool/tools to extract keywords from say 50 sites in one niche and then check the rank tor those sites
This is for telemarketing of seo services I want to have some insight into an industry before I call them could this be done with the adwords keyword tool api and then exported to excel. It would also be nice to have data on backlinks say from seo moz opensite explorer.. Its just that the research you do before you even call a potential client is so time consuming and you can never really check to see how they are ranking for there main keywords manually. We are trying to automate as much of this initial research as possible... Any Idea's Thanks
