Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Do we know if a quick copy paste from the lower 1/3 of the page into Google returned the page (and copied text) in question? Or, have you ever seen a case where the top portion is findable in the SERPs through a quick copy/paste of a portion of text, but text from the bottom doesn't return anything? I've seen this happen, and don't really have a good answer for it. Seems like it could be along the same lines? I know Google can't index a portion of the page, but strange how when you copy a sentence from the top of a page with tons of lines of code, you can find it in the SERPs, but doing the same from the bottom yielded nothing.

You may also want to try Google Trends. This will give you a much larger view if you are looking for trends over a couple of years in order to identify patterns over months.

Yes there is a benefit to being on digg, but also reddit, youtube, facebook, twitter, tumble, etc.

Hey Kevin, Thanks for reaching out. I just checked all your campaigns against OSE and they lined up just fine. I didn't see a single discrepancy. You have to remember that while the campaign will show you Root Domain and Subdomain, OSE will also display page specific metrics. That different metric may account for any confusion between the two. If you aren't seeing the same thing as I, can you take a few screenshots of the discrepancy and send it in to help[at]seomoz.org? Cheers, Joel.
