Unsolved Mobile Rankings for me and competitors disappear in Moz but still ranking.

Hi, I'm trying to create an SEO report for my client however their mobile rankings have completely disappeared for Google Mobile rankings. Competitors rankings have disappeared as well. Could this be a Moz configuration issue?

Hello,
I've encountered an interesting situation with Mobile Rankings on Moz that I could use some insight on. It appears that both my rankings and those of my competitors have disappeared on Moz's platform, despite the fact that we're still able to see our rankings on search engines. This discrepancy is quite puzzling, as the rankings are evidently there, but Moz isn't displaying them.
I wonder if anyone else has encountered a similar issue and if there's an explanation or solution for this situation. It's perplexing to witness rankings on search engines but not see them reflected on Moz's platform.
If anyone has experienced this before or has any suggestions on how to address it, I would greatly appreciate your input. We're all striving to make informed decisions regarding our SEO efforts, and this situation has definitely thrown a curveball.
Looking forward to your insights!
Best regards,

Update or changes in Moz's data: Moz regularly updates its data and algorithms to provide the most accurate and relevant information. It's possible that there have been updates or changes in how Moz collects and displays mobile rankings.

It's unlikely that this is a configuration issue with Moz or any other SEO tool, especially if you're seeing that the mobile rankings for competitors have disappeared as well.
If you're suddenly unable to see mobile rankings for any sites, it's more likely due to changes in Google's algorithms or policies. As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, Google has been moving towards a "mobile-first" indexing strategy for several years. This means Google predominantly uses the mobile version of the content for indexing and ranking.
There are a few potential explanations for what you're observing:
Google Update: There might have been an update from Google that has changed how they handle mobile rankings or mobile-first indexing, leading to a widespread change in mobile rankings.
Reporting Error: There could be an error in how mobile rankings are being reported, either on Google's end or within the tool you're using to track rankings.
Technical Issue: There might be a technical issue on your client's website or on the websites of their competitors that is affecting mobile indexing or rankings.
To determine what's happening, I would recommend the following steps:
Check Google's Webmaster Central Blog, SEO news sites, and SEO forums to see if there's been a recent update or change that could be affecting mobile rankings.
Check with Moz's support or help forums to see if they are aware of any reporting issues.
Run a technical SEO audit of your client's website to see if there are any issues that might be affecting mobile indexing or rankings.
If you still can't determine the cause, consider reaching out to a professional SEO consultant or agency for further assistance.

How you can manipulate your MOZ DA
I have become frustrated at MOZ in the last few months, none of my backlinks have made it into the index. Old back links. Long story short, I figured out the issue and I figured out how anyone can manipulate their DA. I wrote a blog post about it here, http://blog.dh42.com/manipulate-moz/

Why are my keyword rankings dramatically changing week to week?
I have a site (actual several) that has been up for many years now. Content is changed monthly - regularly. It would always rank in the top 5 positions for 5 or 6 keywords. Now all of a sudden (without any dramatic changes to the website) my ranking results from my weekly Moz reports are dramatically different from week to week - every week. One Keyword will be #1, then the next week it will drop 49 positions, the 3rd week it might be #5, then Not in the Top 50, then #1 again, and so and so on. This happens to all my keywords on my site. I was waiting for Google to finish it's changes to it's algorithms but it's now been long enough and I can't get a handle on what's happening, why it's happening, and what to do about it, and what direction to take with my SEO. My Traffic has actually improved over last year by approx. 25%, but I have also started a PPC campaign for this client. Any suggestions would be great.

Find Historical SERP Ranking for a Term?
Is there any way to find out what pages ranked for a given term historically? I.e. what were the top 10 search results for "Widgets" 6 months ago, 1 year ago, 2 years ago? If I had a campaign tracking that term, I'd be able to look back, but I do not. Does this data exist anywhere in a format that could be queried?

Half of my backlinks just disappeared!
I was just starting to feel like I was getting traction and all of a sudden half of our external backlinks just disappeared! Over the past 4 months we've taken our total external links from about 2500 to 6500 and with the lastest report, we seem to have lost more than half and are now around 2100. Our domain authority has dropped accordingly too. I realize that backlinks aren't forever but what in the heck could cause you to loose over 4000 in a one month period? eK9w
