Is the SEOMOZ rank checker accounting for the mega sitelinks?

[carmenmardiros]

Just curious if the SEOMOZ rank checker accounts for the mega sitelinks? Are this counted as separate listings (which would in effect make it report a lower serp position) or are they bundled up with the first result and considered as #1 spot?

Thanks

Hi,

So after speaking with one of our engineers he said that they were included in the rankings which after looking at it they felt it was a bug and released a fix to not count them in the rankings.  We are currently having an internal debate about weather those should be counted.  What do you think?

Apologies for the late reply. I don't think they should be counted in the rank checker as it makes any historical analysis for a given keyword skewed. Can you confirm that the current rank checker is discounting mega sitelinks? Thanks

Talked with the dev today and he checked and they are not being counted in rankings.
