What search engines does SEOMoz pull the SERP data from on the keyword analysis report?

[JMFieldMarketing]

I did a Google search and I noticed that some of the rankings that pulled up did not match the SEOmoz top 1-10 competitors. I was sure not to include personal results. I was completely signed out of my Google account. Another one of the SEO tools showed the same result as when I did the Google search, completely different from SEOmoz's report. I am curious to know where the data comes from, so I can accurately compare/ contrast the varying results.

Hi Jack,

That is normal for the keyword rankings not to match up properly and is a pretty common occurrence due to personalized search, etc. In the top, right corner of the Keyword Analysis tool you actually get to select the search engine and country that you want to use to pull SERP data from.

You might want to read further about the tool on the help hub: http://www.seomoz.org/help/keyword-analysis

Hope that helps and good luck!

a trick to  not get personal results is to add &pws=0  to the end of the search url

eg

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=keyword&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official**&pws=0**
