Why Links from Top Level Domains doesn't Pass Link Equity?
-
Hello,
I have a doubt about Equity-Passing links report of OpensiteExplorer.org
According to Sam Weber http://moz.com/community/users/432678 links which pass value from one page to another including followed 301 and Meta refresh links are under Equity-Passing links.
I am surprising after looking at the links report generated by opensiteexplorer.org. Most of the article and directory links which have low DA and PA are under Equity-Passing links. Whereas websites like EzineArticle or Articlebase which have good DA and PA are not found in either Equity-passing links or under only nofollow category.
Please suggest me if the report of Opensiteexplorer is not good enough or the links from the site like Ezine Article doesn’t pass the link equity.
Thanks.

Hi there
Both Articlebase and Ezines have nofollow links - meaning no equity will pass. In fact, most article submission sites will do and you should really move away from using them as an SEO tactic. This also means that OpenSiteExplorer is accurate.
Hope this helps.
