Does MOZ sometimes miss pages off crawls and rankings?

Hi there

Well, your page is still there in the SERPs (#11 searching from London), so that's the main thing!

It could be an issue with the Moz crawler missing the page, or it could have been some short downtime on your site (best to double check that in webmaster tools if you have them set up - look for any crawl errors around Friday, where the rankings update).  Rank checkers can be a bit temprimental, Moz's included.  I know that they're working hard on the tool to improve it - it's pretty difficult considering that Google don't want sites/apps/programs scraping their results or data.  Some good reading on that topic can be found here, when Raven Tools stopped offering ranking positions.

So given all that, every now and then you'll get errors and anomalies.  Try to supplement your data where you can with a couple of free alternatives - both Rank Checker Ace (cloud based) and Rankerizer (download) give you a free keyword ranking tool.  Run all three to get a stronger idea of rankings from different sources.

Frustrating I know, but just as much for the Moz team and Google's awkward stance.  At the least most important thing is intact, and that's your site's actual position in the rankings!
