Are you going to add tracking for multiple rankings for the same keyword/phrase based on URL? I know that I, and others, would like to be able to see that when we export the CSV data or reports.

That'd also help Magix's issue in seeing the results.

This is actually based upon a recent google algorithmic change. Certain searches are now showing multiple results for the same site, but listing them as actual organic positions. Site "example.com" might show up for 1st, 2nd and 3rd for search "example" rather than one result with a "more from example.com" drop-down box.

Yes, this is what I see for one or two of my KWs. Back in beta when users could click and see the scaper page, I noticed it was showing 2-3 pages from the same site, but g doesn't show them when I search manually.

Anyway, an option to toggle it on/off in the future would be badass, as would the tracking for multiple results from the same domain.:bowdown:
 
I was on beta (and maybe alpha too?) for sescout, and will defnitely be going paid.

I track rankings across large database sites for long long..... long tail keywords, and actually broke the system early on. However, I figured out how to make it accommodate my needs, as it's a very flexible setup.

A lot of the super smart guys from the traffic section were feeding ideas that BG took into consideration and implemented, which makes this service highly applicable to real-life, day-to-day seo operations.


Well played BG, Well Played.
 
BG,
a solution would be very much appreciated. Presently about 80% of my keywords are affected.

Just to be clear, there is no "fix"… Google will display what they want. We can offer a way to modify the results to your linking, but the bottom line is these ARE THE RESULTS. Magix, just because you see results "manually" , doesn't make them accurate, and removing the duplicate domains will only provide an illusion of this. Occasionally Google will even display the "10 result" listings in this same format where as removing the duplicate domains would again make things "inaccurate". We have not been able to get this point through to you in support emails, however this is where the problem should remain rather than casting a shadow of doubt on SEscout as a whole.

With the recent deprecation of the Google web search api (what the vast majority of other SERP trackers are using to get your rankings), SEscout is likely to be one of few functioning SERP trackers in the coming weeks. We stand head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to displaying the most "accurate as technically possible" results.

Tl;Dr: We can modify the rankings to appear as you would like them to, but from a technical stand-point, the results are exactly as they should be.

This is better than Market Samurai's tracking for sure and is pretty much at par with Authority Labs now with regards to disturbing the reports in a professional manner (would still like the url links,)

Just want clarification before I subscribe. Are you going to support exact URL rankings for each keyword (not just the domain)?

Not sure why you quoted that section of Turbolapp's post, but yes, the system is already setup to track the EXACT URL you add as the domain.

Edit: Do you mean in addition to the current system on a per keyword basis? Keyword1 looks for example.com/x and keyword 2 looks for example.com/xx?

Also the "Will subscribe when X feature exists" posts are becoming somewhat tiring. Without the support of the existing community, half the features already in place wouldn't exist. If you want X feature to become a part of SEscout, then subscribe and help support our growth, otherwise you might as well find another SERP tracker that already supports it.
 
I don't want to "cast any doubt" on the quality of your services.
If I understand correctly your position ranking is based on opting for 100 search results per page. According to prior communication Google then shows different results, sometimes including duplicate domains (additional inner pages) which doesn't appear to fully reflected with the 10 results per page option.
Both ranking results are "correct" in the sense that Google delivered these but they differ.
The question is do we expect results based on what most searchers and clients look for (10 results per page) or the alternative that shows a different picture of ranking positions.
The idea is not to force something or override facts, just to show results the way most people look at them. I assume here that most people have the Google 10 results per page default option enabled. Am I wrong?
An option to use one or the other would be great.

Probably this:

  • Keyword 1
    • hxxp://www.example.com/keyword-1/ - Rank 3
    • hxxp://www.example.com/ - Rank 7
    • hxxp://www.example.com/keyword-1/sub-category/ - Rank 14
  • Keyword 2
    • hxxp://www.example.com/category/keyword-2/ - Rank 4
    • hxxp://www.example.com/category/keyowrd-3/ - Rank 8
Listing out all the URLs which rank for a given keyword you are tracking that are of the same domain name.

Now, if he's using "exact" URLs to track a keywords like you said, hxxp://www.someweb2site.com/blog/keyword-1/ AND hxxp://www.someotherweb2site.com/blog/keyword-1/, then I doubt he'd be able to see multiple URLs come up for that result unless you added a feature that would support it. Which, might be adding a text-area when adding keywords to track and linking the two URLs together somehow in the database.
 
Sorry about the will subscribe thing ... it's just that you haven't responded to that feature request yet even though it was asked several times (on the thread and in e-mail's/PM's), and that's why I quoted turoblapp. I want to be able to track the actual URL links per domain. For instance:

I would put in the domain: lcdtvs.com

My keywords would be: lcdtv, lcdtvs, samsung tvs

Now, I want to know which pages actually rank for those keywords.

So it should look like this:
Keyword: lcdtv Rank: 10 URL:lcdtvs.com
Keyword: samsung tvs Rank: 22 URL= lcdtvs.com/samsungtvs


I don't want to have to manually enter in all of my pages and keywords, just the domains and keywords AND so I can see the actual URL/page that is ranking.

I hope that makes sense. Again, sorry about the subscribe thing ... I will be subscribing by the end week!
 
I love the system, but in my opinion the support is pretty poor. The issue that got posted here about ranking differences is a HUGE problem for international websites. The differences are HUGE (50 spots difference for example).

I PM'd you, I emailed you twice and posted twice in your previous thread. Don't get me wrong, I love the system, but this is a problem. I even offered 2 solutions for this problem and still got ignored, while I'm actually paying already.

Now, if you don't want to give customer support, I guess that's fine for this price, but don't tell people you do cause you don't. I'm sorry I have to bring this to this thread in public, but as it's the only way I know you will read it, I have to.
 
To make this topic clear for anybody reading this now and in the future:
We ALREADY track the exact url of your sites ranking in google, not just the main domain. However, for now, you must download the detailed PDF, email, or csv reports to see which exact url is ranking. There simply isn't enough room in the current layout to show the matching url result. This will be changing soon. Read on to see how.

We will soon be adding the option to track ALL results from your domain in a given keyword search. The way this will work will show your top result as it does now, with indented rows below the main result showing any other matching results from your domain for the same keyword.

HOWEVER, this new feature will DRASTICALLY increase our operation costs. This feature will only be available to paying customers.

Having said that…
SEscout is not profitable. We are positive that it will be once we open our doors to the normal public. However, there is no need to accommodate the exhaustive SEO communities "demands" for the mass public. This is why most other SERP trackers suck, yet make a ton of money. If you like the idea of having a fucking epic SERP tracker, support us. Way too many of you send us these half ass support tickets saying silly shit like if we add an extra button to your liking you will pay…

Just so everyone understands: If you think SEscout is a worthwhile endeavor, then pay. Don't pay when its perfect. Pay because you want it to become perfect. We are very close to spending our time on advertising rather than adding new features if this continues. Even at our paying prices, its an insanely good deal.

We are about to open a new support section and feature section on the site. We simply can't have people requesting already available features and saying things like SEscout doesn't work in our public threads.

To all who have been supporting us since the beginning. THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH

I'm sorry this is udder ridiculousness. I've yet to see a proper bug report mentioning this sort of issue. We do our absolutely best to respond to EVERY single support request made through SEscout. Please leave the forum to discussions and bug reports for the "BUG REPORT" option of SEscout.

Since you love to say "fucking" apparently: Then remove the FUCKING button in your system that says "Discuss SEscout" that links to your thread if you're not going to respond to my questions anyway. I didn't use the bug report feature, because you have that button sitting right there and I wanted to discuss this in public with others to see if I was the only one having this problem.

What do you expect: people are only going to say "I love this service so much, sign up"? It's WickedFire dude, people will give their positive and negative experiences. If you don't like it, don't make a thread here.

Yet again, you're TOTALLY ignoring my question. Way to sell your service.

Scito, I don't have a problem with you discussing this publicly, nor do I have unrealistic expectations of everyone LOVING us. My issue is with the fact that you blatantly ignored the bug reporting section that is entirely built-in to the SEscout and feel like you have the right to talk down our service based upon the fact that your problem was overlooked.

We have plenty of authoritative names who would stand to back us up on the matter that we go out of our way to support our users who support us. While I apologize for overlooking your issue posted in the forum, I guarantee if that same issue had been submitted the proper way it would have been responded to promptly.

Building a web application from the ground up isn't child's play by any means. It's impossible to keep track of bugs in the system if people are posting them wherever they deem acceptable and expecting us to reply and solve their issue in the same manner. Per my previously reply, we are currently in the process of adding a revamped support system as well as a feature request section directly in SEscout in the hopes that users will take the most direct route for us to wipe out any remaining issues in the system.

I can't thank you enough for being a subscriber to our service Scito, but please, utilize the methods that we have put into place to specifically avoid things like this happening.
 
Alright, thank you for your response. Perhaps it's an idea to make that clear in the system as well (a little sentence below the button that states this topic isn't for bug reports/feature requests will do the trick).

By the way, I'm in no way trying to talk down the service, because I don't want to. I was just talking about the support, but that's solved now. I'm happy you explained the case what's going on.

If I didn't like the service I would have unsubscribed, but I'll be a long time customer, no doubt about that.r
