      Bug? or just because the change happened beyound the Top 50 within Bing & Yahoo SERPs?

      The Keyword Ranking for in the example "dry desulfurization" shows a change of >40 up, but the history (Google) does not show these changes.

      May be, it is that the change was within Yahoo and Bing Rankings, and because the keyword is not showing up within the Top 50, I just can't see? ... but Rogerbot is considering.

      Thanks for any response 🙂

        Hi Holger,

        Sorry for the confusion! I took a look at your campaign and this is not related to your Bing & Yahoo rankings for that keyword, because the site is not ranking in the top 50 for those two search engines. This is actually a bit of a bug.

        What happened is that, for some reason, the rankings did not update correctly for this keyword last week on 4/20 as they should have so the "change" filter sees that as the site dropping out of the top 50 and then showing up back at 10 in the next update. If the ranking for that keyword had updated correctly, you would see a break in the line graph rather than the connected dots between the 4/13 and 4/27 updates. I believe that this keyword is missing the update for the 4/20 rankings because we will update rankings as long as we have information for 95% of the keywords. Since this is the only keyword that seems to be affected by the issue, it means that we weren't able to pull data for that one keyword but we did have data for all the other keywords so the system updated the information.

        I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

        Chiaryn
