Link Anchor Text
-
When we have run a Open Site Explorer analysis on our own site, it says that for all our internal links the Link Anchor Text is 'Help with logging in'
I am a bit confused as to why it shows that. That text does appear in the header of the page, but is not the first piece of text.
Why is it happening on our site?
Why do I not see this on other sites?
What affect does this have on our ranking?
What's the best fix?Example page that we ran on Open Site Explorer:
www.rightboat.com/search?manufacturer=Beneteau&model=Antares+9.80

Thanks for taking a look, yesterday out of desperation to understand what was happening I replaced the text on my site with an image to see what, if anything, changes.
I have reported it to Moz, and they agree it looks odd.
-
I don't even see that anchor text anywhere on the site so I'm pretty puzzled too. Not sure where it is reading that text from (unless your site show's bots other source code). Hit up a Moz rep and confirm if it is a bug.

Sorry to bump, but I am pulling my hair out on this one.
I am not sure if this is a bug in Moz or if I am damaging 90% of my site.

Has anyone got any ideas what we are doing wrong here?

Lol, sorry for the misunderstanding. They are listed under recently found, please see attached screenshot.

I meant screenshot of "When we have run a Open Site Explorer analysis on our own site, it says that for all our internal links the Link Anchor Text is 'Help with logging in'" - i dont see that in the OSE analysis anywhere.

www.rightboat.com/search?manufacturer=Beneteau&model=Antares+9.80 --> returns no backlinks for me
www.rightboat.com --> don't see the 'Help with logging in' anchor text anywhere.
Could you send a screenshot maybe?

Linking to AND canonicalizing to a page?
I am using cross domain rel=canonical to a page that is very similar to mine. I feel the page adds value to my site so I want users to go to it, but I ultimately want them to go to the page I'm canonicalizing to. So I am linking to that page as well. Anyone foresee any issues with doing this? And/or have other suggestions? Thanks.

What do I do with these back links?
In the last two weeks, I've got 10 pingbacks from this http://caraccidentlawyer.cc/coroner-ids-berkeley-bodies-who-were-killed-in-recent-car-accident/ and sites like it. The featured attorney is a competitor of ours and, since the links aren't sex/drugs/rock&roll related, (and he's linked too) I doubt this is a negative SEO campaign, but I want it to stop. These blogs are basically pure spam. Any suggestions?

Paid outbound links - do they have juice?
Hi, A client is asking about a website that has a business model I don't normally work with - it's a site full of very informative articles - no harm there - and they are sponsored by companies who provide the service being discussed. Not really any harm there. But attached to the link is an outbound tracking device. The business model is pay per click. Has anyone had experience with this, specifically if larger search engines have picked up on this and filtered out those types of links to not count very much if at all? Thanks!

Is it bad (black hat) to have an H1 text as a text indent?
Is it bad practice to use a text indent through CSS for H1 text on a homepage(basically hiding h1 text)? I'm just trying to compensate for the fact that some text that should really be in the h1 tag is actually an image.
