Unsolved Google results linking domains
-
When I check the linking domains of a root domain, a lot of Google results from other countries appear. Does this mean all of these domains are linking to my root domain? Can anybody explain this and tell me if this can be seen as spam or not?

Google results linking domains refer to the number of unique domains that link to a specific webpage that appears in the search engine results pages (SERPs) of Google. In other words, if multiple websites link to a particular page, it can indicate that the content on that page is high-quality and relevant to the topic.
Google considers the quality and quantity of backlinks to a webpage as a ranking factor in its algorithm. Therefore, pages with a higher number of linking domains may have a better chance of ranking higher in search results for relevant queries. However, it's important to note that not all links are created equal, and Google also takes into account other factors such as the relevance and authority of the linking domains.
To check the number of linking domains for a webpage, you can use various SEO tools such as Ahrefs, Moz, Majestic, or SEMrush. These tools can provide you with a detailed analysis of a website's backlink profile, including the number of linking domains, the authority of those domains, and other metrics that can help you evaluate the quality of a website's backlinks.

When you check the linking domains of a root domain, you may see Google results from other countries because search results can vary depending on your location and search settings. This does not necessarily mean that all of these domains are linking to your root domain.
To determine if a link from a foreign website is considered spam or not, you should evaluate the quality and relevance of the linking website. If the website is a reputable source in its respective country or language, and the link is relevant to your content, then it can be considered a legitimate link. On the other hand, if the linking website has low-quality content or appears to be part of a network of spammy websites, then the link may be considered spam.
It's important to note that the quantity of links is not the only factor that search engines consider when evaluating the quality and relevance of a website. The quality and relevance of the linking website, the anchor text used for the link, and the context of the link all play a role in determining the value of a link.
In summary, the appearance of search results from other countries when checking the linking domains of a root domain is not necessarily an indication of spammy links. To evaluate the quality of a link, you should consider the relevance and reputation of the linking website.

Unsolved Spam Score Blank - Looking For Feasible Solution
Hi,
Link Explorer | | Jane090987
There is a question in my website. When I'm searching the number of spam score of my site, it shows "--".
In the official article it shows that the reason of "--" happens is that our site has not been evaluated by Moz. But there aren't any ways of solutions, seems that we can only wait - not knowing how long - for being evaluated.
Is there any way that I can get my site evaluated by Moz, and the spam score of my website can be displayed as an exact number?
Thanks for answering in advance!0 -

What does "Number of Linking Root Domains" in Open Site Explorer actually mean?
I've read through the forum, but I'm confused as to what "Number of Linking Root Domains" means in the Linking Domains report. For example, if the root domain is Moz.com and the number is 135,000 does that mean there are 135,000 links from Moz pointing back to my site or does it mean there are 135,000 sites linking back to Moz? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

How can I tell what pages have links TO this page?
Hello, Mozzers! My client has a rather messy situation, with redirects for HTTP vs. HTTPS, and two different home pages, both in subdirectories. I could explain the whole setup, but I don't think it's relevant for my question, which is this: OSE is showing three links to the page in question, but doesn't tell me WHAT those links are. Am I just missing the information somewhere? Please see screenshot for details. Thanks so much! ~ Scott view?usp=sharing

Really slow to load results on Open Explorer and "error fetching your data" messages
Hi, I am new to Moz and I'm finding using Open Explorer a real pain and frustrating, not only is it really slow, but for the past couple of days I've been getting "error fetching your data" messages when trying to show links etc. Is this just generally what its like or is there another problem?

Dofollow link from Moz user profile still not showing in OpenSiteExplorer
Hi everyone! Refering to my last question http://moz.com/community/q/dofollow-link-from-moz-user-profile-not-showing-in-opensiteexplorer, the last update was on March 10 and I'm still searching my dofollow link from my Moz user profile http://moz.com/community/users/625691 after have 200 MozPoints, Opensiteexplorer only found the nofollow link from the icon, but nothing from the anchor text of my URL. Is possible that only take the first link to my blog and ignore the rest if it have the same href? 😞 Thanks! fTdwaO6.png
