Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Glad to hear it on all accounts.

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!

Josh,

Please do not throw TAGFEE around without fully understanding its meaning. It is fine to have a disagreement, and for the most part this is a wonderful discussion. You however are being quite condescending and not empathetic to others. I've warned you in the past, and this is a final warning.

Hi Joseph! I'm sure Rand will chime in as well, but I know our engineers are currently working on a write-up that explains the future of the index, plus some of the issues of the past. They're trying to get all the details in there, and hopefully we can get that published by early next week. What I know so far, is that they've fixed some issues and this index is looking much better. I'll let the engineers explain what that means though.

Hi Donna,

I think it's fair to feel that way, it's definitely frustrating on all ends. While we do try hard to be as open and upfront as we can with information, we can most definitely work harder on getting it out sooner. I also very much appreciate the kind words about the community, and that you took the time to leave your thoughts. I'm sure many folks feel the same way. I'll let Rand (or others) jump in and respond as well, but I wanted to say thanks!

Hello friends!

We're excited to announce that we have the agenda for MozCon 2015 finalized and up on the blog: https://moz.com/blog/the-mozcon-2015-agenda-has-arrived. Be sure to check it out, and don't forget that Pro members (yes, even if you're in a free trial) get a $500 discount! You can register here: https://moz.com/mozcon#register.

We look forward to seeing you in July.

Hey Jeremy! We took it down because it was old and out-of-date, as it was created a little over two years ago. We loved having the video on the site, but didn't love that it wasn't correct. So we removed it!

haha right? I thought it was odd that things were so quiet today, so I wanted to make sure it was working. is this thing on??

this is a test to see if this thing is on.

Hooray! Love to hear it.

Check out Rand's blog post about it for all the details: http://moz.com/blog/open-site-explorers-new-link-building-opportunities-section.

We'd love for you to check it out and leave us your feedback!

Thanks,
Jen

Excellent, glad you're joining us! Have a good week.

Hello everyone!

We'll be holding a webinar on Friday to help new members learn about what all Pro has to offer, show some off our most popular tools, and get you comfortable with the dashboard.

Register here**: https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/132016958**

Date: Friday, October 17th

Time: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM PDT

Hope to see you all there! If you can't make it, you can watch a previous webinar here: http://moz.com/help/guides/getting-started

Unfortunately right now there is not. We try to get them out as quickly as possible though. If you're having issues again this coming month, please email us at help[at]moz.com and we'll see if perhaps there's something specific going on with your campaigns.

Hi Francois!

All reports start running on the first of the month, but may not be complete until the 4th of the month. Plus, I see that you're in South Africa, so you may also simply be checking before the reports have finished on our end. If you don't see the report in the next 24 hours, send us an email at help[at]moz.com with the details of the campaign, and we'll dig into it! I hope this helps a bit.

Thanks!

Jen

Hello there!

This is a great question, and one that can be a bit confusing. When you set up a monthly report in a campaign, we run all those reports on the 1st of the month, and start sending them out. It may take until the 4th of the month for all of them to run and get emailed and show up in your campaign.

If you don't see the report by the 5th (since it looks like you're in Australia), please send us an email at help[at]moz.com so we can dig into your account a bit more, and take a look at specific campaigns.

I hope this helps answer your question!

Hello! This can be a bit confusing especially if you have several accounts set up under your profile. First you'll want to track the profile, once that's set up, you'll add the specific page that you want to track. For example, in the image I've attached, I first set up my Google+ profile which is an admin on the Moz Google+ page. Then I went in and added the Moz Google+ page, after my profile was created. Hopefully the attached image and explanation will help! Please me me know if you have additional questions.

Totally agree with Ken. I actually did a presentation recently about Social's influence on search, it might be a good one to check out: http://www.slideshare.net/jennifersablelopez/social-medias-influence-on-search-going-beyond-rankings.

Thanks!
