Are there errors in your PRO reports lately?

[mikescotty]

Working with a new client with large websites.  On the competitive domain analysis the numbers for my client and 3 competitors was

48 | 52, 51, 55

For 2 whole weeks it jumped to

68 | 48, 43, 51

and there were some really odd supporting numbers such as total links moving from 107K originally to 806K.

Just today, the numbers have reverted to the previous numbers.

I am relatively new to moz and like the reports, but this is very unnerving.

Is there an explanation?  Anyone else seeing this?

Added: Aargh. The numbers just jumped back to the previous high numbers.  Help.

Hi Mike, I guess the numbers you are seeing are the authority metrics for your site and the competition, although these should not change so drastically, one explanation would be the discovery of new links by RogerMozbot (107k to 806k) and the lost of links from your competition, it could be that those are the actual numbers now and that the information on your campaign is just finishing its update (new campaign maybe?), anyway cases like this are directly related to the tool, so I would advice you to open a help ticket and ask them http://seomoz.zendesk.com/home

Also, check the links from OSE, and compare to the links in Google, Yahoo and Bing, to see where those new links are coming from.

Hope that helps.
