First Mozscape index of the year is live

[jennita]

I'm happy to announce, the first index of the year is out. We did have a smaller count of subdomains, but correlations are generally up and coverage of what's in Google looks better, too. We're giving that one a high five!

We've (hopefully) removed a lot of foreign and spam subdomains, which you might see reflected in your spam links section. (another woot!)

Here are some details about this index release:

• 145,549,223,632 (145 billion) URLs
• 1,356,731,650 (1 billion) subdomains
• 200,255,095 (200 million) root domains
• 1,165,625,349,576 (1.1 Trillion) links
• Followed vs nofollowed links
  • 3.17% of all links found were nofollowed
  • 63.49% of nofollowed links are internal
  • 36.51% are external
• Rel canonical: 26.50% of all pages employ the rel=canonical tag
• The average page has 89 links on it
  • 72 internal links on average
  • 17 external links on average

Thanks!

Great to post this at the top of the Q&A - noticed the first questions appearing today - probably many more to follow (hopefully fellow Moz'ers will read this post before posting the question).

Real case... almost 10 years ago SEO manager in some company was flying to their HQ just to explain why their PR was dropped from 6 to 5. C-level execs wasn't happy about that.

Now fun part - impressions, CTR and visits was increased during that update.
