Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Gary.

I just happen to have a brand new machine here I could try it out on. If I get the same results, I'll see if I can get SEOMoz themselves to explain it!

But trusting Google.co.uk less doesn't make sense because its definitive right? I want RankTracker to match Google not Google to match RankTracker!

I've just tried checking results by using Firefox "personal browsing" which I am assuming doesn't make use of any cookie information at all, it makes no difference. Ditto Chrome incognito.

Hi,

Not using an incognito window or equivalent. Not logged into Google either.

Hi All,

Sorry to ask this but is RankTracker reliable?

I'm new to all this and I've set up tracking for my own website and three competitors for a particular keyword. I've  received a report telling me :

| <phrase></phrase> |   | Google / United Kingdom | 19 | +9 |
| <phrase></phrase> |  Competitor A | Google / United Kingdom | 7 | -2 |
| <phrase></phrase> |  Competitor B
| Google / United Kingdom | 3 | 0 |
| <phrase></phrase> |  Competitor C
| Google / United Kingdom | Not in Top 50 | 0 |

However when I cross check this with Google UK, the positions are only aproximately correct, and Competitor C is at position 12, totally different to the reported "Not in Top 50".

Maybe I'm missing something?

Chris.

Hi All,

Literally just signed up - and thought I might be able to dive straight into my pages using the On Site Optimiser to check page, make some changes, then check again and see it have immediate effect on the analysis. Not so? Each time I click on "Grade My On Page Optuimisation" with the expectation that a box formerly with no tick now gets one, nothing changes :o(
