Adding Disavowed Domains to Open Site Explorer?
-
Hi,
Is there a way to add to the OSE a list of disavowed domains?
Also, how often is it refreshed?
I know that the GWMT shows us links on sites that are down for months now.Thanks

Thanks for the assistance with a workaround Marie! This sounds like it'd be something good to write up for our feature request forum at https://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-SEOmoz-PRO-Feature-Requests, too.

Thanks Marie and Tom,
Marie, this is what I meant. Now that people are disavowing more and more domains and links, the OSE picture is plain wrong (unfortunately I disavowed a lot).
I will work with the excel for now.
Thank you both

That's the sort of excel macro love that I was hoping for. Thanks, Marie!
Also, uploading the .txt - that's not a bad or totally unrealistic idea, is it?

I agree with Tom, but I do see what you are saying. I think you are saying that you would like an option where you can upload your disavow.txt file to SEOMoz and then get a list of your backlinks minus the disavowed files. It's not a bad idea for a feature!
But until then, Tom's plan to do it manually in excel would work. Another way this could work in Excel is to add your disavowed domains in column A and have your OSE domains in column B then in column C use this forumula:
=if(B1=A1,"duplicate","")
This will flag all of the domains that are in your OSE list and also in your disavow list. You can then filter them out.

There's no way (that I can think of) for the OSE to know which domains you'd disavowed, so it would have to be manually done. The way I'd do this would be to export the backlink report into a .CSV file, lift the domains that you have disavowed and then, in Excel, remove any domains from the OSE list that are on your disavow list. You should be able to do this fairly quickly with the find+replace function. Alternatively, you could colour the cells of those domains in red, which again you could do quite quickly en masse.
Next index update is pencilled in for March 12th - you can find the information here. It usually takes a month, but what you'll no doubt notice on that page is that the index updates have been coming quicker and quicker; the last 2 updates have come only 14-15 days after the last one.

Inherited a site - no progress being made, no authority?
Hi all, would really appreciate some input on this one. I've been given the task of optimising a website which was built by another company. It's a Wordpress site using Jigoshop. It wasn't in the best of states, and I don't claim that it is now, though we've done quite a bit of work on it. However, after months of work on it, I feel it's not going anywhere. Naturally my customer wants to see results, and they're not getting much. I've submitted the website to a couple of highly regarded directories, and I believe it's listed on some speciality directories (Asian clothing directories). I've also started them on the task of blogging, and I'm trying to get them involved with guest blogging. There's a DA of 1, OSE reports No Data Available for this URL. The Competitive Domain Analysis shows no links at all. I could understand if I started the campaign last week, but we got going in around January this year. One thing that's crossed my mind is that it's quite a slow-loading website. It's with GoDaddy on some cheap hosting plan (not my doing!!). I understand loading times can affect results - could this be the case? It's a bit disheartening really, because we've had really good success with a lot of local businesses' websites but with this one we just can't seem to get it anywhere! 😞 If anyone could shine a bit of light I'd really appreciate it. The URL is bangle-box.co.uk. Thanks in advance!

Domain authority drop
Hi SEOmoz gurus, The last 2 months I am seeing a drop in the Domain authority for some of my clients. Some of them are old sites. Some are new (less than 6 months old) For the old sites I thought the reason for the drop might be caused by discounting the value of low quality backlinks. But this cannot be the case for the new sites - they have high quality backlinks from newspapers and I can't make any sense of the drop. Has anyone else experienced the same issue? Might this be caused by a change in SEOmoz algorithm? Thanks!

Which of these is the best guest blogging site
Which of these is best: http://www.guestblogit.com/http://www.bloggerlinkup.com/ http://www.Myblogguest.comhttps://www.helpareporter.com/ I like the look of MyBlogguest.com so far. We are wanting to guest write articles to be published on quality sites in exchange for one or two links back (link building) Also, how do you choose what article topics to write. So far my strategy is to look at the industry's biggest sites and to use the "Top Pages" tab in OSE to look for hot topics. Thanks!

Open Site Explorer Update
What is taking OSE so long to update? The update schedule said the next update was going to be on Dec 28th.
Moz Pro | | Robbie8299
If you open OSE it says "Last Index Update: November 28th, 2011" Today in January 1st. Any thoughts as to why the delay?0 -
How to Calculate % improvement in Mozrank and Domain Authority
I understand the concept that mozrank and Domain Authority are measured on a logarithmic scale . http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/mozrank I'm trying to determine the percentage improvement in the Logrithmic value. For example Original Domain Authority 60 Original Mozrank 5 End Domain Authority 63 End Mozrank 6. So 5% change in DA and 20% change in MozRank. How do we convert these numbers to the real logrithmic change?

Is DA a reliable domain metric?
I use DA and PA every day for reporting, researching and most of the time it's a pretty good metric to compare domains and pages but recently I did an experiment and I was surprised when I saw the results. Two months ago I "link bombed" one of my old, unused websites with thousands of spammy blog comment links. Before the attack, its DA was 21 with a few hundred links. In August, after the recent OSE update I checked the website again and I was quite surprised to see DA 61 as a results of 8340 links. A DA value over 60 is considered pretty strong and it's interesting to see that spammy blog comment links could change it so significantly. Someone who doesn't know the history of the domain might get interested in advertising on such websites because the mozbar shows a high DA value. I know it's difficult to algorithmically differentiate between spammy and valuable blogs but a future OSE update could focus on this issue. Let me know what you think.
