Welcome to the Q&A Forum

OK, great, thank you. Is there a forum on SEOmoz where I can ask for professional help? Or do I just submit another question? Thanks.

There's no way that I know of to adjust the frequency of their crawl. I'd put in a call to support about this. You'll get a much quicker response from SEOMoz staff there than you will here.

You might try running a full linkscape report in the tools section. It may not return anything more than OSE, but then again- it might.

We all have "get links" drilled into our head repeatedly, and for good reason. Links are a key factor in determining a site's authority and worthiness in the eyes of the public. Relevancy can definitely outweigh links, as you see in this case. There is nothing wrong with Google's ranking in this case. Below is an analysis for the #1 ranked datafast.net: Search Term: phoenix computer repair Page Title: Phoenix Computer Repair | Computer Repair in Phoenix Arizona (AZ) 1. Page Title begins with an exact phrase match for the searched term. 2. Page Title is short, so the words used have a lot of weight 3. Page Title offers a full second match of the phrase, though not an exact match Your page title (the #4 rank) is optimized for the search term but not quite as well based on word order and word count. On Page factors: 4. The top ranked site misses an opportunity by not using the ALT tag for it's images. Just an fyi. 5. The first words in the content area of the #1 ranked site is the phrase from the page's title: Phoenix Computer Repair Services. The words appear in large bold-type, though not a H1 header. 6. Exact phrase match appears twice more on the page, once in the content and once in the footer. The content appearance is in bold. 7. The phrase "computer repair in Phoenix" is also used, in bold. The page clearly offers very little content. But there are several things that work in it's favor. There is no header text, no ads, the side bar only contains the navigation, and the footer only contains basic site links. The content area text has a lot of weight in that regard. The content, while very light on word count, is straight forward and to the point. Their focus is a perfect match for the keyword phrase involve. This page is not spam. I would not advise reporting the page as spam. The Google account used to report this page can be devalued in the eyes of the spam team for doing such. It would seem you are reporting the page to eliminate competition, and not due to any actual spam. The #1 ranked page was designed for the exact phrase you are using. The domain and page authority aren't great, but a 3x ranking isn't bad either. The #4 site's page uses the key phrase....ZERO times. There is a (non-exact) match in the footer with "Computer Repair Phoenix". The #4 site is heavily stuffed. The footer is a list of 15 cities and 200 zip codes. Bottom line, Google got it right. The #1 site is a local, established business with some authority and a page perfectly optimized for the phrase involved. The #4 site needs work to be more competitive on this phrase.

No, Google Webmaster tools do not list an error here. Its indeed an SEOmoz bug. Ryan, thanks for trying though!

Same here...Started one yesterday and still not complete.

The crawler is designed to emulate the Google crawler's behavior. It isn't perfect, but crawlers will follow all the links they can. If you require more details, an example URL with the specific links you are inquiring about would be helpful.

According to the FAQ's, No. http://www.seomoz.org/dp/webapp-faq

With OSE you're going to get truncated data if a given domain has more than 25 links from it. It does this to show better diversity with its results. I don't know if there is any way around it. If there is, someone please tell me I always find that if I set it to - Show "All" links from "External Pages Only" to "All Pages on the Root Domain" then I can get some pretty good data. I think this would work for what you need it for. Maybe you could use the SEOMoz API to gather the data you need.

I ran some tests last night... looks like it's back up!

Hi Jason, Just keep on working as Rome was not built in a day.  Pay no attention to the overall rank until you have completed the transformation.  If it has been done properly rank should improve. My best advice is to try to stick with a single project until completion.  Try not to mix up the work you are doing since you will just be left with problems all over the place with no end in site. Once you have completed them, add a blog.  It is most likely not THE reason nor the ONLY reason things seem to be dropping. Stay the course.  1000 points of light.  Stay the course.

I have a site that is 4 months old. Prior to today the site had a domain authority of 0, and the home page had a PA of 1. I submitted a daily sitemap and the site was crawled daily. If I ever shared an important article I would submit an extra site map and noticed the content in the search results within a couple hours. This is an active, forum based site. I have heard others complain their site is crawled very infrequently. I am not sure if Google treated my site well because it was newer, or had good content, or decent activity. I can just share my experience that the site was crawled quite frequently. Just checking the first site, it has only a few pages. It was designed by a basic site creation software and seems crawlable. Just small sites (around 10 pages) don't change frequently so they don't get crawled often. If the site owner doesn't submit a sitemap letting Google know a change has been made, it may be some time before Google decides to crawl them or finds a link to their site.

Thanks EGOL. I agree social sharing features make sense. But we don't have our own blog yet - my question is about finding the best tool for tracking the number and quality of inbound links that result from our blogger outreach efforts.

Thanks for your help.  They have each been online for at least six months and both have been crawled.

Thank You, Darryl.  Do you know if it is required by some online merchants to have SSL on all pages of a site, or just credit card info pages?  Or do they not require it at all?

Thanks for the help and insight Stephen!
