Moz is incorrect

[OasisLandDevelopment]

So i have had my latest crawl, and the keyword report is showing that using google.co.uk i have some keywords not within the top 50 - i have just done a spot check (coping & pasting) direct from Moz to google.co.uk and out of 4 i have checked 1 keyword i am number 4 and 1 keyword i am page 3 - therefore within the top 50. This leads me to believe that there is something wrong with Moz - here is 1 example "land in the cayman islands" i am showing in moz as not in the top 50 when i am showing on Google as number.4

Make sure that when you are checking your rankings you are using a clean browser without any saved cookies and add &gl=uk to the top of the URL.

If they are still different it's possible that you've gone up in the time between the last ranking check....

Hi,

Don't know what site you have but I get <cite>oasis-land.com </cite>at 4.

Your spot check Google results might be skewed by personalisation. Try adding &pws=0 at the end of the URL and see if results change

Hi - Thank you for your quick response, i got crawled last night and i had the same result (no.4) yesterday day. Thank you

[OasisLandDevelopment]

Do you want me to add that ending within my moz campaign?

[PaddyDisplays]

he means when you manuly search google gives you personal results that can be very different to what everyone else gets

so if you search oasis-land.com, the url is :

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=oasis-land.com&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=rcs

add &pws=0 to the end of that url

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=oasis-land.com&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=rcs**&pws=0**

that will give you results with personal results turned off

note: we track .co.uk and have had no problems with moz's tracking

No. Add to the end of the search results URL after the results have been returned

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=land+in+the+cayman+islands&oq=land+in+the+cayman+islands&aqs=chrome.0.57j0l3j62l2.865j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&pws=0

John, did you use an incognito browser where you are not logged in to your Google account?

He's a she! And yes that's what I meant

Hi - I have just tried **&pws=0 **and it is still number 4 - I have also had a few people try and it is number 4 (cashed cleared etc) - i have checked the capitals and everything in Moz to make sure it is exactly the same (i copied and pasted it direct from Moz). I have 72 keywords on this campaign and i have just done a check on all the keywords that are not in the top 50 - Moz states i have 21 out of the 72 not in the top 50 (for co.uk) however my colleague and i just checked and  7 out of the 21 are in the top 50. I have used moz for a long time and i dont question its technology however in this case there are some definite errors.

[WesleySmits]

If you are really sure that there are mistakes in the software then you should probably contact the Moz Technical Support.

If you contact them and together you will find something out let me know what the outcome is.

[OasisLandDevelopment]

Thanks i will do that now.

[PaddyDisplays]

apologies

I did think for a second after writing "He" maybe I should have said "the person" or "they", but then laziness kicked in

Hey John,

Just wanted to check in and see if you were still seeing any discrepancies with your rankings.

Cheers!
