    This has nothing to do with day to day changes, I understand rankings move and that one day they rank and the next they don't. I am seeing internal pages never showing any rank in KWT.

    And yes I understand this is a free tool and if nothing can be done about it that is fine. Just trying to point out something I am seeing and if it is an issue that can be fixed without too much trouble, or if it is an issue that just has something to do maybe with the structure of my URL's that maybe isn't affecting the normal user

    I always use the "Check All" button to initiate my KWT run.

    Keyword tracker shows it as #16 for me. If the URL you just posted is the one you are using, might want to take the space out of it, because Google's results don't have a space. Even easier would be to just use the domain, and not the full URL.

    Looks like it's an issue with the uppercase in the URL. It works fine if you just use the domain (no uppercase). Either way, I updated the advanced usage script to take into account uppercase URLs, so if you want to use the full URL, it should work if you update it.

    I didn't know that was an option. That in fact makes life a lot simpler.

    However KWT still shows www.compar.com nowhere in the top 50 for 'SEO Services' whereas a search on Google shows it in #14.

    Yep... you will need to ask Google why the API is different in your case.

    Sorry, Bob. Did not mean to be picking. Some do not seem to know to do that.

    With all the datacenters and API showing various results it is hard to say where we all rank.

    No need to apologize. When I first read your post about the "left side" I thought maybe I had actually missed something, but then when you clarified the "Check All" I realized that I hadn't so I just said so. It was more out of disappointment. I though maybe you really had the answer.

    I haven't exactly read this thread in its entirety, but I also have noticed some issues with it reporting the lower SERP.

    Example: I have been #26 for a given term. I have moved up to #6. Yay. KW Tracker still shows #26, which I do still have - I'm 26 for an interior page on my site, but I'd much prefer it reports the highest ranked page on my site, which is ranked #6...

    Check #24 on the FAQ.
