Strange metrics : Internal Followed Links 0
-
Hi All,
I don't understand the metrics for this website http://www.tntaccess.fr : http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/www.tntaccess.fr%252F/a!metrics
There is 0 internal followed links, is it normal? because there are internal followed links for this website. Or there is something I dont understand.
It is penalizing for the website? how do we correct this? does it come from the robot text file?
Thanks a lot for your help
Anne

Hey Laurent,
The mozbot is different from the Linkscape Index, so while we are able to crawl a website or domain, it's a different set of sources that comprise the Linkscape Index. Check out that message I wrote above for the reason your site's links might not be indexed yet.
Hope this helps explain! Let me know if you have any other questions that aren't addressed in that message I wrote above. Thanks Laurent!

Hi Laurent.
Internal Followed Links 0Did you ever fix this issue?

Hey Anne!
I'm so sorry that you're getting that result in OSE. This does seem to be because your site hasn't been crawled in Linkscape yet, though several sites that link to it have. You can go here to see the list of linking domains (yours is not in the list, since we haven't crawled it yet). Most new sites and links will be indexed by our spiders and available in Linkscape and Open Site Explorer within 60 days, but some take even longer for a plethora of reasons, including crawl-ability of sites, the amount of inbound links to them, and the depth of pages in subdirectories. Just so you know, here's how we do our index: we take the last index, take the 10 billion URLs with the highest mozrank (with a fixed limit on some of the larger domains), and start crawling from the top-down until we've crawled 40,000,000,000 pages (which is about 1/4 of the amount in Google's index). Therefore, if the site is not linked to by one of these seed URLs (or one of the URLs linked to by them in the next update) then it won't show up in our index
We update our Linkscape Index every 3 to 5 weeks. Crawling the whole internet to look for links takes 2-3 weeks. And then we've got 1-2 weeks of processing to do on those links to determine which are the most important links etc. You can see a schedule of how often we update, and planned updates here: http://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/345964-linkscape-update-schedule
If our crawlers or data sources are blocked from reaching those URLs, they may not be included in our index (though links that points to those pages will still be available). For now, the best thing you can do to help your domain become indexed is to continue to work on link building for links from sites with high mozrank. If you need help with that, you may want to ask the PRO Q&A community about it here!
I hope this information helps! While the site may not be indexed yet, give it some time - maybe we'll see it in OSE next month.
Have a great day and best of luck with your SEO!

Mozbot seems to allready have crawled my website, altough i am also having 0 followed internal links in the stats. Is there any way to fix it or find out where the restrictions are?
-
I suspect that moz bot did not yet crawl this site either due to restrictions imposed by the site itself or perhaps because it simply didn't get to it yet.
Example: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/http%253A%252F%252Fwww.tntaccess.fr%252Fintegral.html/a!links

Competitor getting External Links from search.aol.com
Recently, I noticed that one of the competitors I track within my Moz campaign received about 12 new inbound links. As a result, there DA jumped about 10 points. I reviewed these new external links and was surprised to see that they are all "search.aol.com/aol/search?query= ..." with Link Anchor Text that is good for the industry we compete in. Can anyone tell me why these are being counted as "Inbound Links". It just doesn't seem right. Is this some sort of black hat seo tactic?

Competitors links increasing rapidly
Hi there, I have 3 main competitors who I keep my eye on within Moz and I am always comparing pages as they are all sell similar products in the same way but we're increasingly getting more things put in place to make ourselves different, which is why we rank number 1 in the UK for their competitive keywords (without blowing my own trumpet!). One thing I have noticed, a competitor seems to be doing things the old school way. He has around 15 competitive keywords in his pages meta tag (irrelevant) and then has a huge 400 - 500 word description on each page describing whats on the page, what products are in that category (if it's a category page) or localised information if it's a company page. What seems to be odd, is that before penguin/panda their website had around 1,200,000 total links. Then after panda, he went down to around 300,000 total links. In the past few weeks I've noticed that he has gradually increased in total links from 300,000(estimate) to now 961,811 total links in a matter of weeks. Is this an error/glitch within Moz or is he doing something that may be classed as "blackhat" or is it something I shouldn't really be worrying about? Any feedback appreciated 🙂 Tom

Crazy competitive link analysis, 1 - 40 - 38
I'm seeing very strange results on my competitive link analysis. It used to give me a fairly constant domain authority of 38, now one hour i'm seeing 1, then 38 then back to 1 but if I look in opensite explorer it says I have 40. The same weirdness is having to every other stat in the section both in the overview and more detailed section. The same thing is happening with one of the other competitors i'm comparing my link profile with. What's going on?

Linking Building: Do I have to beat Linking Root Domains or Total Links?
Hello, When skoping for how to beat competitors, do I need to aim to beat the linking root domains number or the total links? Or do I need to think about both? Thanks!

Is canonical link enough?
Hi SEOmozers! I have a question. SEOmoz analysis report me some duplicate that I thought I had fix. I can give a concrete example. This page: http://www.nuxeo.com/en/about/events/dec2011training-boston/moreinfo is reported as having 6 duplicated URL in the tool. When I click on 6, SEOMOZ tells me "Our crawl bots are getting their joints greased to fetch you even better data. Sorry for the delay!" And on the page itself, I placed a canonical link to follow recommandation. rel="canonical" href="http://www.nuxeo.com/en/about/events/apr2012training-boston" /> As a result I am curious why I would have this reported as duplicate by SEOmoz. Is this a bug? Thanks for feedback!

How best to gain Followed Linking Root Domains?
Hi All, Sorry if this question has been asked before. I've had a look through the Q&A sections and I couldn't really see anyone who'd asked the question as direct as this? Basically, I'm using the SEOMoz competitive domain analysis to compare some of our domains and our competitors domains and see where we're falling down. At the minute, we seem to be only scoring around '31', whereas our two closest competitors as 32 and 33 on the overall score. This still seems pretty low to me (maybe it's not) so I'm assuming we can make some good headway. At the minute, the analysis shows that we're beating our competitors hands down with the number of links to our site, these are all relatively good quality and they haven't just been spammed out there to gain links. We are however struggling to get followed linking root domains. As I understand it, these are basically just links from domains not on the same IP that are followed? Since I've seen this, I've looked through the open site explorer and gone through all of our competitors sites to get backlinks from URL's linking to them. I've had fairly good success with this but they only seem to have gone up by 1 - 2 links. Does this only get updated once a month? In addition to this, does anyone have any tips on how to build up followed linking domains? Kind Regards
