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.

Question about SEO and domains
Hello, Over time we have purchased many domain names that relate to our business. Let us say we sell chairs of type A, chairs of type B, Tables of Type C etc. We also have a main web site (main domain) which has been functioning for many years and is ranked well but not great. Since we have domain chairtypeA.com and chairtypeB.com I was thinking of putting them to good use as follows. STRATEGY A a) Create the domain as a parallel domain but is mainly informational - it talks about chair type A, its history, what to look for etc. It has the same IP address as main domain b) Have all the links on the page be directly linked to the MAIN site- so if you are on page for ChairtypeA and want to see it in a set you just click a link and it takes you to the main site. c) The look and feel of the ChairtypeA site is exactly the same as the main site - in fact except for the Heading, title and content the whole framework is from the main site. My hope is that if people are looking for chairtypeA, we would rank and attract customers. Plus it would use up some of the domain names we have purchased. THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE (Strategy B) is a) Create a domain for chairtypeA parallel to main domain (same IP address) b) redirect it to subfolder in main domain c) refer to the pages also as maindomain/chairtypeA (here is where it is no longer purely parallel) I have 3 objectives a) Use my purchased domain names b) Focus on certain products (liek ChairtypeA) c) Overall increase visibility and ranking Please give me any feedback which indicates whether Strategy A or Strategy B is more effective, or if any has negative consequences. Or you could suggest Strategy C - a completely new approach. Thanks Sam

How can authority of the page be higher then authority of the domain?
In the opensite explorer most of the links that I see have a higher domain authority and lower page authority which makes sense to me because I thought that domain authority is an aggregate of its pages authority. But apperently I was wrong because sometimes I see that the page authority is greater then its domain? How could that be?

Yahoo Site Explorer died. Does DA and PA Seomoz parameters have all it takes to replace YSE?
We're trying to simplify our link analysis job when acquiring a new external link. We're wondering to know if Domain Authority Seomoz parameter is all what we need to take a decision. Does DA Seomoz parameter takes into consideration 'domain age', 'alexa ranking', 'dmoz links', indexed pages on google', and 'inbound links vs outbound links'?

Group by Domain sorting is broken.
When sorting links with "Group by Domain" it only works for the 1st page. Pages 2 - X do not group the results. Am I doing something wrong? Can we simply set it to "view all" to avoid paging?

Open Site explorer (last 1-3 updates) shows new and wierd results
Hi Moz'ers! I have a questions for you guys. Can you explain why the website "Netspiren" has a lower "domain Authority" than "Duft og Natur"? See screenshot. I know it's a tough question without a detailed analysis, but looking at OSE's data, does the mozrank,moztrust, C-block don't reflect the power of the Domain Authority. What's you take? BTW: "Netspiren" has always had more and better links, and also had a higher Domain Authority. Something about the Domain Authority changed since the past 1-3 OXE updates. Looking forward for your take on this! Have a good weekend! mnRPI.png

The value of .uk.com domains
It was a long night last night (working, not playing), therefore forgive the potential stupidness of this question... Running an OSE report on a website earlier their top linking domain was *.uk.com. This is a valid TLD, and I know for sure that the website has not acquired links direct from the uk.com website but from some-other-registered-domain.uk.com. What I am asking is does the Moz Calculation and/or the pagerank calculation give more value to these links? *.uk.com has a Domain Authority of 71 and 156,497 linking root domains. If so i'm gonna go buy me a bunch of .uk.com domains..... Opinions please.
