Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Actually it has been the same for me and my websites. I am constantly building links to them, but it appears that OSE gets an avg 10-20% of the whole quantity.

Hi blocker0408, There is an issue that has been identified with the Linkscape update which occurred earlier today. This means that Page Authority & Domain Authority in Open Site Explorer are off at the moment. The engineering team at SEOmoz are working on the problem and will update as soon as the issue is rectified. You can follow @SEOmoz on Twitter to keep up to date on what is happening with the issue and that way you will know when things are back on track. Hope that helps, Sha

Hi guys! So sorry about this, it looks like it is related to our latest index update that went out today. Our engineers are looking into it right now to get it fixed. We'll report back wen it's updated. Thanks!

Hi Gabe, That would be a cool feature. Unfortunately, at this time there isn't a method for adjusting reports to a specific time period. The ranking tab has an option for downloading your entire ranking history to csv. You can manipulate this data in Excel to create time-based ranking reports. As for custom reports, these are generated on a weekly or monthly basis, but not for historical data. If this is a feature you would like to see, feel free to submit it to the PRO feature request forum, where members can vote on it to put it in the queue. Thanks for suggestions, and best of luck with your SEO!

This is almost a philosophical question, like "If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, did it make a sound?" In this example, if Google shows Places results in its regular SERPs, does it matter the format? Most would argue that a #3 position is #3, no matter how it's formatted. The general public won't recognize the difference, and all indications are that click-through rates are about the same. Regardless, to answer your question about how SEOmoz tracks rankings, the PRO platform tracks rankings in a way that is location-agnostic which means that in most cases, localization isn't a factor and "traditional" Places listings don't show up. That said, for many queries with local intent, Google will display results that mimic Places listings, like this result here. Whatever Google returns as the result to SEOmoz crawlers, this will be recorded as your rank. So long answer short, the PRO platform doesn't distinguish between regular SERPs or Places SERPs, as long as those results are returned by the search engine for your query.

Thanks guys! This a huge help. I'll get it taken care of.

For every campaign, you'll have to reload the list. Sorry! You can always head over to our features request page and put in a request.

I appreciate the response Cyrus. That's exactly what I was looking for. It looks like the discrepancy comes from internal link count, which I hadn't considered. Thanks!

It sees it as a list, its like rich snipits , its a huge amount of your content, and things it is the main content. see these reullts. 40+ is a list i have in my page, it shows a few samples http://www.google.com.au/webhp?hl=en#hl=en&site=webhp&q=perth+seo+company+violations&oq=perth+seo+company+violations&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=904l904l0l1303l1l1l0l0l0l0l380l380l3-1l1l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=9a730073ec537500&biw=1229&bih=846

Hi, It is quite possible for Page Authority to be higher than Domain Authority as the two are independent of each other. PA is essentially a measure of how likely an individual page is to rank, while DA applies across entire domains & sub domains. To understand how PA & DA are calculated and what they actually mean, take a look at these resources Page Authority and Domain Authority. SEOmoz recently introduced an update to the calculation of PA & DA which has brought a higher level of accuracy. You can read this post about the improvement - Introducing SEOmoz Updated Page Authority & Domain Authority. This one goes into some depth as to the reasons & methods used in calculating both. Hope that helps, Sha

Thank you so much, Alan. I'll go in and see if I can pinpoint the cause in my plugins.

Works perfectly thanks.  Guess we will see over time if it stops errors from occuring.

Have a canonical tag on your pages, regardless of whether or not you have the same page in other places, will not harm you. (It would only harm you if you had it on two duplicate pages saying that both were the canonical version.) I'd check your site for similar or thin content, which is another thing Panda hit. Yes, you may not have direct duplicates, but if your content on the category and product pages are either thin or very similar to each other, you can still get hit. I'd suggest reading this post, which is basically everything you need to know about Panda.

We generally update the Linkscape index once a month. There were two releases in November (one at the very end), and then there will be one this week. It's a little later than usual because of the downtime for the holidays. The Calendar that Jgower shared will always show you the upcoming release date and the previous release dates.

We did have some cases of crawls not happening.Send an email to help@seomoz.org with your information and we'll get things working for you. So sorry about the problems.

If you are using a 3rd party social media company like ShareThis or AddThis, it should be a little inaccurate. I know what you are talking about because I have a few hundred FB Likes on my site, but SEOmoz shows different. I think it gets it's information from facebook's Open Graph.

Hi Robert, The SEOmoz crawler is set to ignore title tags on certain non-html files, such as pdfs. That said, there are still some errant file extensions out there that it will attempt to read. These are rare, but it does happen. From an SEO point of view, there's nothing you really need to do with these files. If you wanted, you could place a rel="nofollow" on any link that you didn't want robots to crawl, or block them with robots.txt, just to be sure. But from a search point of view, Google and the other engines are pretty sophisticated with these types of files so this is probably unnecessary. As a side note, Google is getting increasingly good at reading some types of non-html files, like pdfs, so it's often advantages to have these indexed. If you are seeing errors in your campaign caused by these files, feel free to contact the help team (help@seomoz.org) and let them know. Hope this helps! Best of luck.

I'm third generation TCU and kind of live and die by the Frogs.

Hey gys, nobody can help me?
