Link from home page

[landed]

I see an abundance of websites that don't link out at all, and there is no data available to seoMoz for the sites, some like http:// regal - diving dot com (trying not to get moderated AGAIN Innocent need to show which link and its a competitor kind of) are not linking to anyone else just internal links.

1. How come they dont show info to SEOMOZ

2. Should I link out from home page, is this detrimental does ANY single link from home page show google that I am not a PROPER web business.

thanks

I tried accessing http://www.regal-diving.com. It is not a valid address. Can you please type in the valid address so I can copy/paste it into a browser?

The Linkscape crawler which SEOmoz uses crawls the top 25% of web pages. Generally speaking, any other pages do not have much, if any, SEO value. Google does not even crawl 100% of web pages.

Linking out from your home page, or any other page, is a normal practice for most websites. There is nothing wrong with it whatsoever. You can visit the SEOmoz home page or that of most any site and there are often external links. It is a common practice to link to social pages, the website's developer, the website's SEO provider, etc. which are all external links.

Appologies Ryan - it was caribbeandiving.com I am sorry. It says there is no data. This site is around for years and they cleverly dont link out to anyone all their links are dead ! So everyone enters thinking they are getting linked out and so the site has links inbound galore, but then they switch off the links and they are dead ends in their site. This site ranks No 1 for many search queries on my niche.

Ok thanks for your thoughts I did read your footer links post a bit ago.  I nofollowed  as these footer links sit on every single site page ! This could be see to harm these linked sites ? We are not sure.

It seems there is an issue with OSE so I can't see any link data for the site. The site you mentioned is clearly a spam site with links to "office cleaning London" and other links on it's home page which are completely irrelevant for a Carribean diving site.

I am not sure what you mean "they don't link out to anyone". I see many links on their site. I checked a couple and the links work fine.
