Keyword Ranking Question - Paid Ads?

[trumpfinc]

Hi everyone.

I have a question about the Keyword Ranking tool. I am currently tracking 93 keywords.

My question is, does the ranking count just organic rankings or does it count if my company is spending money on a google ad? So for instance, if all paid ads were stopped on Google, the current keywords we rank for according to the MOZ tool shouldn't change, right?

Thanks.

The keyword tracking tool is for organic rankings.

Hi,

Mike is correct. Your organic search traffic and ranking is for organic keywords only. A way to double check your ranking: download the Moz bar, and when you type a query into Google, you will see a bold number under each result indicatng it's rank in position. You will not see this number next to an ad.

Hope that helps!
