Why Historical Domain Analysis is not updated for almost 2 months?
-
This is one of the most important areas of SeoMoz to see if you are making any progress or not. Unfortunately it is not updated since 2/28/12 and today is 4/18/12. What's happenning?

Hi Mcarle, I'm Rob - I built Linkstant.
Linkstant monitors for clicks on a link to your site that it hasn't seen before.
If you put the Linkstant code on a new site, or just on new pages, then you'll only know about new links.
If you put the code on pages that have been around for a while and have a bunch of links already, then I'm afraid it will alert you when it discovers those old links for a while.
You could consider turning off the email alerts for a time, while it discovers all those old links, or you might just chose to the put the code on new content.
Hope this helps; let me know if you have any other questions!
Rob

It's ok, I added a thumbs up for you

How exactly does this tool work?
Does it send you updates with NEW links to your site?
or
Does it send you messages when someone CLICKS an old link to your site?
I just got a few messages about "new" links but they have been on other sites for months...
I can't find any text that clarifies this on the website.

Hey Sha, awesome tool, and the first I've heard of it. I'll definitely be implementing it ASAP. If I could give you two thumbs I would
Thanks again.

Hi Pol360,
Excellent answer from Anthony and big thumbs up!
If you are looking for a tool that will let you know when you have new links, you might want to take a look at Linkstant, a cool tool put together by Tom Critchlow & Rob Ousbey from SEO consulting company Distilled.
You won't get all of the Moz metrics available in Open Site Explorer once the Index is updated, but in the meantime you will at least know instantly when new links are created
Hope that helps,
Sha

HI Pol,
You can check out the Linkscape Update Schedule here:
http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/w/page/25141119/Linkscape%20Schedule
Looks like April 27th is the day. You're not the only one holding your breath, I promise! But with the next index including over 100 billion URLs for the first time, I'm sure SEOMoz has a few kinks to work out.
Also here's a very in depth explanation of the reason for the delayed update, which was originally planned for April 6th:

Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Anthony

Best Keyword Strategy for Lower-Authority-Ranked Domain
Hi, What should a lower-authority-ranked blog (DA - 21) who is trying to increase general traffic focus on above all when selecting keywords: difficulty, monthly volume, opportunity, or priority? I know that all are important factors to consider, but I fear that without an already consistent following our new content will just get hidden behind more established domains if we select too difficult of keywords. I'd love to hear from someone who's built up a blog audience as to what strategy they used here. Thanks!

Aren't domain.com/page and domain.com/page/ the same thing?
Hi All, A recent Moz scan has turned up quite a few duplicate content notifications, all of which have the same issue. For instance: domain.com/page and domain.com/page/ are listed as duplicates, but I was under the impression that these pages would, in fact, be the same page. Is this even something to bother fixing or a fluke scan? If I should fix it does anyone know of an .htaccess modification that might be used? Thanks!

My Mozbar SERP overlay stopped working when I updated to Firefox 20.0!
I tried restarting Firefox, rebooting my computer (Mac), uninstalling and reinstalling the Mozbar, still nothing. I use that data a lot, so I'd love to get it back...

Domains and sub domains - newbie
Hi Recently set up my SEOM MOZ account so any help would be great! On the competitive domain analysis page the sub domain metrics appear as good (if not better) then the domain.The Moz rank and trust are better on the sub domain. I know the website copy is appearing on both non-www and also www (which I assume is being referred to as the subdomain) on the competitor domain analysis page). Should I now 301 the WWW site to the non-www.... which will then concentrate the SEO and SEOMoz then will only have the root domain metrics appearing? Many thanks for your help in advance!

Hi, Can anyone on the SEOmoz team tell me when the next linkscape index update is going to be? Rand mentioned a few weeks ago that the aim was to launch it before 02/29. Just wondering if anyone had some updated info? Thanks, Rob.
