this should load up the image, im probably doing somthing daft but ive checked everything and it all looks ok

[rishil]

That def seems to be an issue  - as daft as this may sound - could you double check the URL?

If thats OK - try creating a new campaign and see if that replicates - if it does, it may be a bug with the campaign tool and one for the moz staff to look into.

Ive just deleted the campaign started a fresh and its the same crazy!!

Is the domain new or did it have a site on it maybe before you got it?

Saying No Data Available for this URL when I tried to look at it on Open Site Explorer. Perhaps someone at SEOMOZ has spotted that there is an issue here?

I would look to see where it says the most valuable of the links are actually coming from.

ive had a look on whois and carnt find any past history

most valuable link / phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software www.phpbb.com/

Hi Francesco,

I can't see why this is happening, but I'm going to fire it over to the customer services guys to take a look. Sorry the response is slow in coming - I'm still getting used to the new Q&A system.

This might sound daft but just to be sure, is this perhaps an old domain that you have purchased on an auction, or one which has expired and you have re-registered? If so you can certainly inherit links which other people have built up.

Hi Francesco,

The problem is that .uk.com is not a true TLD, like .uk.com, .com, or .org, it's actually a subdomain of the domain uk.com.  So those 24 million links you are seeing are for the domain uk.com and not your site.  The true TLD for the UK is .co.uk and not .uk.com.  So your website is really just a subdomain of a very big domain.  To get information for your site you will only be able to look at the subdomain information and not the root domain level.

It appears that you have a sub-subdomain of the domain uk.com; not a unique domain.

Thus, your data reports that uk.com has 24 million links; but this data does not reflect links to your little subdomain of that bigger domain.

You may have meant to buy the domain http://www.ard.co.uk

{  www.ard. <-- the subdomain(s) } { uk <-- the domain } {.com <-- the TLD }

vs. { www. <-- the subdomain } { ard <-- the domain } { .co.uk <-- the TLD )
