Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey Juice, I had the same thing happen on a very well optimized site with great backlinks. I found that I had 2046 links from m(dot)biz linking to me that did not show in any tools but did show in GWT inbound links. These were all do-follow with the title tag as the anchor text. and about a third of them popped up right before the algo change. I have disavowed them, and waiting to see if I get the change in rankings back like before. I wanted to see if you have found a different issue or if you might have also been link spammed by a similar site. Dogfish

When you say "link profiles" it leads me to believe that you are using Open Site Explorer or some other SEO Tool. No SEO tool can crawl every page on the web, which is why the link may not show up on some client's backlink reports. See if it is reported in Google Webmaster Tools or if the page is indexed by Google. If the page is indexed, you know Google is aware of the link.

Keep in mind that Domain Authority is a Moz metric, and not something that is used by the search engines to help judge a site. We try to approximate what the search engines value, but doing things solely to get an increase in DA without adding real value to the site isn't going to be of much help in the search engines. Things to look at in addition to Moz metrics are: are your clients making more money from your efforts? Are they getting more leads? Are more people visiting their site? Are people staying longer? Has the conversion rate increased? Are you making their phones ring more? Those are also quite important metrics.

Hi, Thanks for the question. There is a way to do this in our tools. Basically, you can suspend a campaign and activate it on the day that you want to get ranking for. For more details, please see: http://www.seomoz.org/help/campaign-setup Thanks! Peter SEOmoz help team

We literally just figured this out (without the help of Google that is). For anyone else that ever has this problem: Create a new gmail account. Add this account to the dummy MCC Terminate access of the user you want to actually use Add this user to the actual MCC

There are a few other tools out there that can simulate the cache view... such as <cite>www.seo-browser.com/.</cite>

Thanks for your reply George, this really helped!
