What's the Story on Mozscape Updates?

Yeah basically on the split index. I think it would give people a better view of how they are actually doing without exposing their data across the internet. It also seems like it could be a way of more accurately determining the DA, PA, and trust as well. And could also add more value to the product. Right now the link index only picks up a portion of the total links and then tried to determine a ranking method off of that. But in GWT there is a totally different set of links usually.

I think if you merged the GWT data, GA data, and the Moz data together things could be very powerful.

I realize a lot of people want to see just what they can do to improve their ranking and nothing more. But I tend to look at SEO as a whole picture and just want more traffic. I could really careless if it comes from Google, Bing, or some guys blog. So I think a link section would also help too. This is what I imagine in my head. Another section in our account that scrapes the referral pages out of our GA accounts and shows us how our backlinks are performing over time. That would be nice, because part of what a lot of us do is buy links in some way or another. It would let us know at a glance if a blog we want to target again is still pulling the traffic it was before. Things of that nature. But I think a real value is putting everything under one roof. GWT and GA are totally separate, having the information from both of those platforms merged into one would be awesome for me.

Hi Ken,

It's normal to see fluctuations in link counts from update to update, especially if a large number of your links are coming from relatively few domains. Take a look at this Q&A - http://moz.com/community/q/why-did-my-da-and-links-go-down. See if it helps shed light on why this happens.

Thanks for the update, Rand, and good luck on getting Mozscape V2 up and running ASAP. I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to see Moz emerge as the leader in this industry, bringing the tools up to par with the amazing community assets that you guys provide.

Looking forward to seeing the mustache disappear!
