      Today Google announced

      "Previously we reported the average position of all URLs from your site for a given query. As of today, we’ll instead average only the top position that a URL from your site appeared in."

      Will this affect SEOMoz reports in any way?

        Hi Perri,

        No, this is compeltely different. Have you seen the search queries tab in Google Webmaster Tools? Or pehaps if you have Google Webmaster Tools you'll have seen keyword postion data in Analytics too? This is what the change affects - the data within these two sections.

        SEOmoz is completely separate to these tools; they have their own tools to track positions so in short, no, SEOmoz reports will not be affected by this change in any way.
