Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I don't know exactly. We've been releasing an index every couple of weeks recently, so I'd wait at least a month before worrying. Do make sure that you have all of your redirects set up properly, so that the search engines know where to find the new site.

A slight correction is that the help desk staff doesn't routinely read the Q&A, but other SEOmoz staff and associates do read Q&A. I personally try to read every new question that comes in, but am myself on Pacific time and don't see things right away when they come in overnight. Emailing help at seomoz.org is the best way to report a problem like this.

An OSE engineer did just come into the office and is aware of these Q&A threads and will be responding soon. We're so sorry that there have been problems, and we're working to resolve them as soon as possible. Sha Menz, thank you so much for helping out here.

If you can figure out how to get an answer from Google, especially on an SEOmoz forum, we would love to know.

Hi everyone,

Since there are multiple people with this question, I've asked the help desk to come over here and let you know what's up (as I'm not sure myself). So sorry you're having problems.

Hi Pete,

This is going to need a bit more digging than I can do from where I sit. I'm going to ask a colleague of mine to come in and lend you a hand. Thanks for your patience!

For the hosting question, see Phil Nottingham's post on SEOmoz at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/hosting-and-embedding-for-video-seo.

Moz Local is a standalone product, and the price doesn't change with whether or not you have a Moz Pro account.

Garry,

You might want to check out what others have written about Top SEOs. There's a thread from this summer in Q&A at http://www.seomoz.org/q/is-topseos-legit, as well as other discussion online. Top SEOs generally does not receive a real positive response by other users on the Q&A forum because it seems their selection criteria for the companies they endorse is not always very rigorous, outside of the evaluation of the pocket book of the company. It doesn't mean all of the companies are bad, and I'm not making a statement about your company; I just want to warn you of the impression others have of them.

I don't know what other sites offer rankings of other companies, as it's not something that I've paid attention to.

In a context like this, PR generally means public relations.

Hi Don,

So sorry to hear about the problems. Check out this help topic addressing what to do when only one page is crawled. If that doesn't solve your problem, send an email to help@seomoz.org

No, there isn't. So sorry!

Hi Eric,

As others have said, you don't want spun content. Spun articles and high quality do NOT go together. You end up with articles about alcoholism that read "think before you beverage".

Look at some more of the Open Site Explorer metrics than just the home page. When you scroll down to the other two metrics on that page, you'll actually see followed links at 98%, but that counts external and internal links. For the entire domain, OSE sees 51k followed external links, 67k total external links, and over 5 million  total links.

OSE is also showing 1,098 linking C blocks for 67,128 links.

Looks like a lot of your links are internal, with pages like this http://www.curadebt.com/settlements/letter147.asp#.T7rB98WuCIw. Tons of pages like this, and I don't think they add too much value to the user.

Closing thread, OP reported elsewhere this is fixed.

Hi everyone,

For those that don't follow the main blog or watch Twitter, I wanted to let you know we just released our largest Linkscape index yet with 58 Billion URLs!

For all of the details, please see Rand's blog post at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/58-billion-urls-largest-linkscape-index-update-yet

I was wondering if the client did plastic surgery.

When you're in your campaign, go to Edit Campaign then look at the very bottom of the page. There's an option there to delete your campaign.

Do you mean Fresh Web Explorer at http://freshwebexplorer.moz.com/?

If you can give a couple of examples of your terms and the resulting pages, we can troubleshoot what's going on. Send me a PM if you're not comfortable with putting it in the general Q&A forum.

Is that something you would feel comfortable explaining to a Google engineer? Also, if search engines did not exist, would you still want to do it?

The search engines want to see content created for users, not for trying to get rankings. Spinning articles doesn't do anyone any good, and they can make the brand look very silly.

Could be just the timing, as we're in the middle of a long weekend. It could also be that the title is a bit ambiguous -- including affiliate in the title might help so people don't think it's a question about adwords, for example. If you don't get any other answers, you might re-ask on Tuesday with a title about being an advertiser and trying to choose the best affiliate platform.

Hi Michelle,

Numbers are needed in the URL if you do not have a proper site map for Google News. In step 5 of the first link, Cyrus mentions that SEOmoz created that site map, and has since been getting referrals from Google News without the need for numbers in the URL.

The numbers are usually not included in the URL on purpose, they're just there if two posts have the same title, and can especially happen in YouMoz if someone submits an article, it's rejected, and then they submit an updated article with the same title. Cyrus noticed that it was those posts that did well in Google News, then made it such that all of the blog posts are in the Google News sitemap.
