Competitive Domain Analysis & Subdomain Metrics

[Banknotes]

I have a web site that shows with all zeroes in the Competitive Domain Analysis and subdomain Metrics screen. I don't think this is possible because I have a ton of links out there to this web site from a forum that I visit. Can someone help me understand how this might be. I am hoping it's not some dreaded www vs non www issue because I think I solved that issue for this site. The site is www.nationalcurrencyvalues.com

HI Greg,

Your site isn't in the Linkscape index that the SEOmoz tools use, as a result there's no data for the tools to work with. If you look-up your site on Open Site Explorer you get the error "No Data Available for this URL"

If you've only got a small number of sites linking to your site you're going to limit the chances that your site will be found and included.

You mention you have a ton of links from a forum you visit. A bunch of  links from just one domain (especially forum posts) isn't going to make your site that visible out there on the net.

I would look at ways to promote your site more broadly. Can you get links from a number of other, preferably high authority sites?

A good place to start is looking at who's linking to sites similar to yours. Look up your competitors sites in Open Site Explorer and see where they are getting links from. Maybe you can get links from those sources too.

Hope this helps.

It appears you have the www and non www taken care of. But, there is no DA or PA for this site. I did not that with the exception of the landing page most of the tabs redirect to another url. That url, antiquebanknotes.com has a DA of 10 and the first page has a PA of 20. There is only one linking root domain showing in OSE. (Note that OSE will not show every link but about the top one fourth. So if you have a lot of low value links, they won't show)

I don't know how you did the redirect, but if you believe you have a lot more authority than that for the url you asked about, that would be a place to start. Also, if the site is new, you won't have accumulated any authority yet. You will need to add some links, etc.

You can look in GWMT and see what links they are showing.

Best

Both interesting and informative replies... I guess my confusion comes from the fact that my antiquebanknotes.com  and NationalCurrencyValues.com domains were both started at the same time and the primary source for tons of inbound links is a signature line I use in a forum.  It just seems odd that nationalCurrencyValues shows 0 across the board but It makes sense given the OSE says no data available.

The site does show up for some relevent good searches though so it seems that the DA opinion a little harsh.

I guess I better find some links so that I can evaluate the site better.

Thanks to both replies!

Interestingly Majestic SEO Site Explorer shows no data from it's historic index, but shows 2 referring domains, 85 Backlinks from it's "fresh" index.

Keep building the links!
