Mozscape Update-Why every site is down?

[csfarnsworth]

Every site,every competitors site have been down.What type of data Moz used this time to update the index.

If the variables are changed can I have the priority variables?

Exactly the same thing here. Our main site has dropped from 42 to 40. I sincerely hope it's the entire index that has been affected though, and not an indication that our sites rank has decreased. I'm sure this will be a majorly hot topic today...

It's likely on our end. We did have a smaller index this time, and will have a smaller one next time as well. I know it's frustrating to see your numbers go down one month, but it's actually best to look more at how are you doing compared to your competitors rather than absolute numbers each month.

We have information about each update at http://moz.com/products/api/updates. Here's the information from the most recent update from the engineers:

One note: With this index release, there is a slight reduction in link counts across the board, but the majority of them should be there.

The reduction is due to some scheduling issues we ran into a couple of weeks ago (and have since fixed) for the crawlers. So, we will have slightly reduced counts for this index and the next, and we'll return to normal after that.
