Count of links
-
I am using free link API to get total number of internal links,
external links, follow links and no follow links by using *
http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/links/* url.I have given following attributes along with the url as,
- SourceCols=4
- TargetCols=4
- Scope=page_to_page
- Sort=page_authority
- Limit=1000
- Filter=nofollow
By implementing this, I am getting array for each filter and by counting
array size, I can get the count of total links.This is a long procedure and seomoz link API is taking a long response time.
Is there any way by which I can get the total number of link for each
filter directly ? Or is there any other alternative ? -
Oky ...Thank you...
Let me know if you can develop such feature of getting direct link counts for different filters ...

Hey Ravi,
If you are a Free API user, that is probably the fastest way you're going to be able to pull that data. However, if you're using the Site Intelligence API, you would be able to get those calls from the URL-metrics API call, which is much more efficient and a lot faster.
You can see the Free versus Paid list here: http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/w/page/13991153/URL Metrics API
Internal links: Links (uid) - External Links (ueid)
External links: ueidFollow links: External Links (ueid) - Juice-Passing Links (ujid)
Nofollow links: Links (uid) - Juice-Passing Links (ujid)I'm sorry I can't be more help! Let me know if you have more questions,

hey thank you for your reply . The url I am using is like : "http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/links/".urlencode($url_to_check)."?SourceCols=4&TargetCols=4&Scope=page_to_page&Sort=page_authority&Limit=1000&Filter=follow"."&AccessID=".$accessID."&Expires=".$expires."&Signature=".$urlSafeSignature;
There is one request at a time for a link.
Thanks!

Hey Ravi,
The links call is pretty intensive and does take some time to process requests, but there could be a way to optimize your call. Would you be able to post the final URL you are sending to the API (eliminating your secret key)?
Also, how many requests are sending in at a time? Are you sending these in as batch requests or single requests?
Thanks!
Carin

What would be causing our linking domains and inbound links to decline?
I am noticing a decline in the number of our linking domains and inbound links from month to month. It isn't drastic but looking like a trend. Any reason why this would happen? I'm not sure where to start. Thanks!

Difference between External Followed Links and Total External Links?
Hello, could someone please elaborate on what is meant by "External Followed Links" vs. "Total External Links"? Does "External Followed Links" mean the number of links that are generating traffic to the site? Or is there some other way to conceptualize it? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Megamenu: Too many links really bad?
Hi there! Our site hosts paid training videos, and has a javascript menu that lists EVERY video on the site, and it is our most-used method of navigation. The menu is structured to look like the business software our training videos cover, so it's very intuitive for users. That said, since we currently have so many videos EVERY page has more than 250 links. The only way to get this down to under 100 as SEOMOZ recommends is to delete/hide the link from being seen by search engines. What should I do? Is the menu worth being visible to search engines? businessonetraining.com

Any thoughts on why Nextag and MonsterMarketPlace are linking to our site?
I'm looking in WMT at the crawl errors and I noticed that our website has gotten a lot of Not Found crawl errors that seem strange. A lot of these not found pages are Display URLs that I use in PPC advertising, but not actual redirects (i.e. explorica.com/EducationalTrips). When I looked at how these links were being found, the inbound links were coming from Nextag.com and monstermarketplace.com, two sites that our company has never had a relationship with. We're an educational travel company, so we'd have no reason to. When I followed the links, it looks like it's coming from their "Sponsored Links," but these aren't Google or Bing Ads. We don't even advertise on the content network. Example link: http://www.monstermarketplace.com/starters-and-alternators/alternator-motorola-style-12v-51a-10376 (the ads do rotate so my site might not appear when you check it out). Anyone ever had experience with this type of issue?

Why is Webmaster Tools not Linking Correctly Google Analytics?
I have a global site with .com as the US site and then /country for all other markets i.e. .com/uk .com/de etc. Each site has it's own WMT profile. Each site has it's own GA profile. Since Google added Search Engine Optimization to the GA interface, I can't track these sites separately under this new feature. It seems to me that it can only be associated with a single WMT profile at a time or rather that WMT can only be associated with a single GA profile at a time. The numbers for the UK and US site are identical, but when I try and link the UK WMT account with GA it removes it from the US profile and vice versa.

Does an internal link inside an iframe result in a bounce?
We built a landing page with a wufoo form. Inside the wufoo form is a link going to another page on our website. We are wondering if clicking on that link will result in a bounce since it is in an iframe. We are using google analytics.
