Difference between 3.2 and 3.0 positions

Postby aamche » Thu Jun 28, 2012 5:29 am

Recently I saw all my keyword positions had dropped. Perhaps Google had changed again, but this also coincided with alls sites and the installation of 3.2. I had another site running 3.0 (different IP) and checked a few keywords there, same country, different results. 3.2 keyword position results seem to be almost 20-40 lower then before. I check a few results in google search, which where more like the 3.0 results. My question is, why the big difference. I followed the upgrade for 3.0 the 3.2. The results should be mostly the same, not 20-40 less.

Oh and I should mention I'm setting for country New Zealand (NZ). I think it may be getting the International results.

[Edit] Looks like I'm running 3.0 on the other system (Where as had posted 3.1). I'll research the forums.

Any help would be much appreciated. I'll keep looking.

After looking at the urls generated
This is what url Seopanel goes to
https://www.google.com/search?hl=&num=100&q=tamper+evident&start=0&cr=countrynz&as_qdr=all

This is what seems to work
https://www.google.com/search?hl=&num=100&q=tamper+evident&start=0&cr=countryNZ&as_qdr=all

Seems like google wants the country code to be upper-case.

File: controllers/report.ctrl.php
Seopanel code 3.0 [line: 501]
$searchUrl = str_replace('[--country--]', $keywordInfo['country_code'], $searchUrl);

Seopanel code 3.2 [line: 563]
$searchUrl = str_replace('[--country--]', strtolower($keywordInfo['country_code']), $searchUrl);

I'll log a report with the developers. As google is different everywhere in the world I wonder if they are in an update phase.
