      I just did my first crawl, and a bunch of the keywords show my rank as being like 76 or 102 and I'm number 1 for the search when I search manually.

      **I of course have personal results turned off and I'm not logged into gmail when I search.

        Are you searching while logged out and in incognito mode?  You could just be seeing personalized and/or localized results.  What is the term and I will tell you what I see on page one.

        ** I think I posed this while you were adding your edit 🙂  OK - I retract my question 🙂

            Yeah - I saw it after I posted my question.  If it was already there, I apologize for missing it.  What is the term and I will tell you what I see on page one. (I am in Jacksonville, FL)

            Are you seeing this discrepancy in Google only?

              There are to many to list:  However this is a good example:

              Professional japanese shears

              SEOmoz rank put me like on page 6 or 7, yet I'm number 2 in google?

                This is what I get for page one:

                www.hattorihanzoshears.com
                www.kasho-usa.com/‎
                www.amazon.com
                search.ebay.com
                www.mysalontools.com/top-10-best-hair-shears‎
                www.shears4u.com/‎
                www.dhgate.com
                www.precisionshears.com
                www.youtube.com
                www.washiscissor.com

                does this follow the crawl or what you see?

                    It could be that SEOMoz hasn't updated their index since you started ranking page one.  I could be incorrect (and please, anyone, correct me if I am) but I believe they work off of their own index that updates periodically rather than using Google's live index.

                    • 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
