[shiftins]

yes but it only updates weekly

I have tried to use it several times over the page few months using firefox. IE and chrome.

It does not work for me.

Thanks for helping @shiftins

Rankings only update on a weekly basis. The date your rankings are updated is shown on the either the campaign overview page on the rankings module, or on the rankings page at the top of your keyword's table.

If you would like to learn more about our rankings functionality check out our help center at www.seomoz.org/help

I am asking how can I have a ranking history.

[kenneth_martin]

We will store data from your weekly rankings updates and allow you to view this history for your keywords. You can only see historical data back to the point in which that keyword was added to your campaign.

Unfortunately, we can not pull data from before that keyword existed in your campaign.

Hope that helps!

Kenny,

The rankings history chart is broken.  It can not be viewed.

If I go to http://ranktracker.seomoz.org/ and click on a keyword and then click "ranking history" a pop-up window appears.  However it is empty.

I have done this in firefox, IE and Chrome.

This charts are fantastic if they work, however, they have not worked for me for the past few months.

Ahh... The standalone Rank Tracker is a different tool than I have been referencing. It does appear to be having issues displaying the chart. I'll put in a support request for our engineers to look into this.

I do recommend that if you have keywords that you need to track historical data for that you use the rankings tool inside of a campaign. This is the preferred way to track keywords over time. I suggest, when possible, to strictly use the rank tracker tool for one off rankings collection.

Hi Kenny, do you have any updates regarding the history issue with Rank Tracker?

I need to monitor many different websites for just a few keywords and Rank Tracker has been the tool I've been using for quite a while...

Thanks!

Hey Mauro,

I got an ETA of 2-3 weeks from my engineers about 1.5 weeks ago. So it shouldn't be too much longer and we'll have everything squared away.

Cheers,

Joel.

The last thread here was June, and its still down.  Do you have an ETA?

Hi Timothy - the rank tracker tool has been working the past few months, but is, sadly, once again down for maintenance (as per http://www.seomoz.org/dp/rank-tracker-update).

That said, the PRO web app - http://pro.seomoz.org - is still working and can show keyword rankings history. If you're looking for a purely free, on-demand rank tracking tool, we recommend SEOBook's: http://www.seomoz.org/dp/rank-tracker-update

Cheers!
