When's Linkscape update going to go live?
-
I've been keeping an eye on the Linkscape update calendar and am a bit confused! There was meant to be an update yesterday, but Open Site Explorer is still showing "Last index update: 8/14/12". When will the new data reach OSE? Been doing lots of link building and want to know if my efforts have been worth it!
Any info greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

That didn't auto-update, but we're working on getting the date updated. The data is good.

Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for the response. However, the "Last Index Update" on Open Site Explorer is still showing 8/14/12?

Hi Alex! The update happened this afternoon, check out the blog post here: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/september-mozscape-update-is-live. We usually have a blog post and announce it on Twitter when it goes live. Thanks for your patience!
-
OK - thanks Keri. Not a problem, just getting excited!

We did roll out last night, then had other problems so we needed to roll back. We're hoping to release the new index today. We'll tweet when it's up and have a blog post as well.

The new index was live for a couple hours yesterday, then they went down, and back up again, and then went down again ..and now they're back, but with the old index. They'll probably try the new index again.
OSE data hasn't been reliable for the last couple of months. It's getting quite annoying now.

Confused over PRWeb and it's Moz PA/DA
Hi I was looking at using PRWeb for some link building, however I have read quite a few articles bemoaning it and saying it carries very little, if any weight with Google. I am therefore confused that in Moz it has a DA of 90 (!) and a PA of 38, with a spam score of 1%. Are these negative articles wrong...is Moz ranking it wrong...or have I got the wrong end of the stick somewhere along the line?! Thanks Bob

Why Links from Top Level Domains doesn't Pass Link Equity?
Hello, I have a doubt about Equity-Passing links report of OpensiteExplorer.org According to Sam Weber http://moz.com/community/users/432678 links which pass value from one page to another including followed 301 and Meta refresh links are under Equity-Passing links. I am surprising after looking at the links report generated by opensiteexplorer.org. Most of the article and directory links which have low DA and PA are under Equity-Passing links. Whereas websites like EzineArticle or Articlebase which have good DA and PA are not found in either Equity-passing links or under only nofollow category. Please suggest me if the report of Opensiteexplorer is not good enough or the links from the site like Ezine Article doesn’t pass the link equity. Thanks.

Should you do a disavow even if you don't have a manual penalty?
If you are working on a website which has a history spammy links, but no manual penalty by Google... is it still worthwhile to still go through the link removal and disavow process? Thoughts appreciated.

Business.com - Who's stil submitting to it, and why?
If yes, is it because you believe it is still worth the cost for the link from this particular directory due to the prohibitive costs which deter low quality sites, it's review process, the high DA, or other? If you no longer submit to it, why?

What do you do if you have been hit by recent Google updates but cannot remove the links?
We have a potential new client who did their own SEO about 6-7 years ago.They ranked really well for years then obviously recently got hit. Some of the links they have are shocking, directories, articles sites etc. They did not use links farms but the links do not look great at all. The problem is they do not have log ins to remove these links manually themselves. Asking for a reconsideration with Google will not get us anywhere due to more recent link building issues we are trying to resolve. They have sent removal requests at least 10 times to these sites but no response. Has anyone overcome these types of issues previously and can give any tips? This would be a good client for us so keen to see what I can do to get them on-board.

Buying Branded URL's
Hello A competitor of mine has a bunch of branded terms that they purchased, with backlinks point to their main site, is there a specific reason they do this? If I analyze the links on the "branded url" theres it has very little juice/authority? Is it worth it to do this? ex www.siteCOUPON.com. or www.mainsite.biz I have a .ca and something similar to our site re-directing through register.com in Iframe. But would they just be using those terms because it has high search volume? Would this help me in anyway? Thank you!
