Why is Open site Explorer showing: No Data Available for this URL
-
Hi there, Im having a few problems getting my site www.incarmotorfactors.co.uk up and running on SEOMoz and im not sure what im doing wrong.Firstly seomoz shows 2 links for my site... Which is wrong. Google shows alot more.
However the most noticable problem so far is Opensite explorer. When i type in the web address it shows
"No Data Available for this URL"
The site is more then a year old and has a few links, can anybody tell me what the problem may be?
-
Hah! Well, yeah, effectively.
As I say the linkscape crawl isn't as effective/deep as Google's so you'll need a couple of higher profile links to get picked up.
Certainly getting more good links can't hurt
-
So basically are you suggesting that i need to get busy obtaining better quality back links for my site?
-
Can't see anything wrong at first glance, your meta robots is fine, but I can't see robots.txt, though I doubt you have anything preventing a crawl there.
It would seem that Roger simply hasn't crawled your site or found more than those 2 links, the SEOmoz crawl is not the same as Google's crawl so one would expect differences. The links I can see come from reasonably obscure Yell pages and forums so those pages may have not been crawled by Linkscape and therefore won't show up.
I would take it at face value and assume that there hasn't been enough links found to warrant a crawl yet. I would also guess that by adding it to the campaign manager that it will appear in the next updated index (though still may not show many links).

Why is MOZ crawl is returning URLs with variable results showing Missing Meta Desc? Example: http://nw-naturals.net/?page_number_0=47
Can you help me dive down into my website guts to find out why the MOZ crawl is returning URLs with variable results? And saying this is missing a description when it's not really a page? Example: http://nw-naturals.net/?page_number_0=47. I've asked MOZ but it's a web development issue so they can't help me with it. Has anyone had an issue with this on their website? Thank you!

How do I mprove site visibility and keyword ranking for new product site
Hi, Sorry if this is a ridiculous post as I am really new to SEO, but I haven't had this problem with other sites! We had a website www.r-dna.co.uk that was never promoted or used very much as it was early days in the product lifecycle. The product (is called R-DNA or Remote Data Network Analysis) is now live so we re-branded and re-launched the site - it has now been live since the beginning of September but we still only have 0.35% visibility and very little ranking in our keywords. We are also using Google Adwords to try and generate business and have registered with numerous online business directories. I have been blogging to update content, tweeting and updating our facebook page, but we still aren't getting the traffic or visibility increases that we have experienced with our other sites. The MOZ site crawl shows 5 medium priority issues (duplicate title page & missing meta description tag), but no major issues. I know its probably fairly early days for a "new" site, but wondered if anyone could advise if there is anything wrong which would explain our lack of visibility.

Site Explorer shows links as followable but they have nofollow tags
Hello, I am looking at site explorer and sites linking to my site moneyfact.co.uk. I've got thousands of links showing as 'followable' but when i check them they have rel="nofollow" tags. e.g: http://www.dianomioffers.co.uk/partner/moneyfacts.co.uk/brochures.epl?partner=93&partner_id=93&partner_variant_id=33 Why would they show as followable when the links are nofollowed? Thanks Steve

Is this harming my site?
What is common practice when defining URL Structure? Any other quality advise and implementation structure would be much appreciated. Regards Mark0 -
Why doesn't OSE show results from sites like Wikipedia, YouTube, Twitter, etc.?
I know OSE used to provide link data from these domains. But I have been doing link profile lookups on sites that I know have links from these domains - and they don't show up in my results. Just to make sure, they don't even show up when I sort the sites by domain authority.

Does anyone know what the %5C at the end of a URL is?
I've just had a look at the crawl diagnostics and my site comes up with duplicate page content and duplicate titles. I noticed that the url all has %5C at the end which I've never seen before. Does anybody know what that means?
