Is it possible to see Ranking data for longer than one week at a time?

The weekly ranking data is great for short-term analysis, but it would be great to be able to see ranking data in aggregate across an entire month, or 3-month time span. Being able to track ranking fluctuations over that amount of time makes it easier to spot trends and mark changes to website plans and how they worked over time. It also makes it easier to spot visitor trends based on rankings with Google Analytics numbers for keywords that don't get a lot of traffic on a weekly basis. Anyways, I can't seem to find any way to see ranking numbers over a larger timespan other than exporting each weekly ranking report and doing it manually. Is there a better way that I just haven't seen? Does anyone have a better solution that I'm just too stupid to think of? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Lisa,

In your Rankings report dashboard, in the upper right, there's a dropdown box where you can select your reports. The very last choice is "Export entire keywords history to CSV." You can use this to track keywords over longer spans of time. I also use AJ Kohn's method of creating keywords indexes to then make those reports beautiful for clients. His post on how to do that is here: http://www.blindfiveyearold.com/new-ways-to-track-keyword-rank

You may have already tried viewing the historical reports, so I'm not sure if my suggestion is too basic. I hope it helps!
