Why Even Publish Dates for the Next OSE Data Set?
-
I just noticed on the Linkscape calendar the update that was supposed to happen yesterday is pushed back to the 6th.
It would be better not knowing. Is this a possibility? Or use the calendar internally, I don't care. Credibility in any announcement or claim looses muster once you do not do what you say you are going to do over and over again. Just a thought..

No worries, Brent. I don't think it's an attack at all. Feel free to not view the calendar.

lol, probably freshdesk after what they said about them on Twitter

Actually, a DDOS attack took Zendesk down today, it wasn't us.

Did you guys actually take it down now? Or is it just broken?

Thanks Jen.
I'm just not sold. The only reason I have a subscription anymore is to refresh out of amusement. It's sad really.
So now I will put much less weight in the dates on the calendar. Would a 5-10 day window surrounding the "next update" date be wise?
Sorry if this seems like an attack, I realize the service has many hands in on the project and you are trying to speak on behalf of many. Trying my best not to shoot the messenger here

Hi Brent!

Hey Brent,
I totally understand where you're coming from and believe me we're as frustrated by the date slipping as our customers are. We set a date to help people plan and we like to be open and transparent about the index and when it's coming out. It may seem like a good idea to not tell people when we've missed a date, but honestly that wouldn't be very TAGFEE of us.
Also, having a date on the calendar help people remember when indexes have gone out in the past. It's most definitely not perfect, but we're working very hard to get those indexes happening much faster than they currently are. We'd rather have people know what's going on, rather than wonder.
Hope that helps explain a bit!
Thanks,
Jen

So we have a rough idea when to expect the next Linkscape Update. This isn't an exact date, but more of an estimate or goal.

Unsolved Keyword Rank History chart has missing data for periods of time
Hello, When I look at the rank history for a particular keyword, there are missing gaps in the data. For example, the keyword was fluctuating around rank 10-20 from Jan 2022 to July 2022. Then suddenly the line on the graph disappears. It starts tracking again in Oct 2022 starting at rank 16. It almost appears as if Moz lost track of the keyword for some time. Other tracked keywords did not experience the same issue during this time. Then as a result, Moz reporting will say the tracked keyword moved up in ranking 40+. What is happening here? I'm unsure how to explain this activity to my clients.

Website data updates
Hello All, I have downloaded some reports for "following" links from SEO Moz and no doubt the report is very comprehensive. However, I know some links listed in the reports does have rel="nofollow" tag attached to it but it is list still shown that they are following links. Can some please guide be to understand why this has happened. Is it possible that SEO Moz has old data of our site because these changes were recently done (2-3 weeks before)..? OR Have I misunderstood following as dofollow..? Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks, moosa.

Looking for a tool that can pull OSE stats for a bulk amount of URLs
I know that people have developed inhouse tools with the OSE API that can analyze thousands of URLs and pull metrics like PA, inbound links, etc. I need to analyze about 80k URLs and sort them by authority and I was hoping that someone could point me to a tool that can do this or let me use their tool. I'm willing to pay for access to it. We could build it inhouse, I imagine that it would be pretty easy, but our IT resources are stretched too thin right now.

Any ideas about using research tools data to create client interest in dedicating marketing spend on SEO services vs their other current antiquated marketing methods?
I consult in the dental industry. Many professionals in this industry are operating in the dark ages when it comes to marketing. Any ideas about using research tools data to create client interest in dedicating marketing spend on SEO services vs their other current antiquated marketing methods? I am approaching potential clients to pitch SEO. They aren't necessarily seeking SEO services currently but have a strong marketing budget. I would like to use seomoz tools data about their site and competitors as way to show possibilities/potential of SEO services to gain interest in further discussion of SEO benefits.
