Designed new website with new domain has more than 24 million links over night on seomoz, how has this happend?
-
I recently added http://www.ard.uk.com to seomoz, its a new site with a new domain. on the first overview its saying it has more than 24 million links and has a mozrank over 7, how is this possible?
-
It appears that you have a sub-subdomain of the domain uk.com; not a unique domain.
Thus, your data reports that uk.com has 24 million links; but this data does not reflect links to your little subdomain of that bigger domain.
You may have meant to buy the domain http://www.ard.co.uk
{ www.ard. <-- the subdomain(s) } { uk <-- the domain } {.com <-- the TLD }
vs. { www. <-- the subdomain } { ard <-- the domain } { .co.uk <-- the TLD )

Hi Francesco,
The problem is that .uk.com is not a true TLD, like .uk.com, .com, or .org, it's actually a subdomain of the domain uk.com. So those 24 million links you are seeing are for the domain uk.com and not your site. The true TLD for the UK is .co.uk and not .uk.com. So your website is really just a subdomain of a very big domain. To get information for your site you will only be able to look at the subdomain information and not the root domain level.

This might sound daft but just to be sure, is this perhaps an old domain that you have purchased on an auction, or one which has expired and you have re-registered? If so you can certainly inherit links which other people have built up.

Hi Francesco,
I can't see why this is happening, but I'm going to fire it over to the customer services guys to take a look. Sorry the response is slow in coming - I'm still getting used to the new Q&A system.

i dont understand how
-
I see you have Domain Authority of 71! Thats mad!

most valuable link / phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software www.phpbb.com/
-
ive had a look on whois and carnt find any past history
-
Saying No Data Available for this URL when I tried to look at it on Open Site Explorer. Perhaps someone at SEOMOZ has spotted that there is an issue here?
I would look to see where it says the most valuable of the links are actually coming from.
-
Is the domain new or did it have a site on it maybe before you got it?
-
Ive just deleted the campaign started a fresh and its the same crazy!!
-
That def seems to be an issue - as daft as this may sound - could you double check the URL?
If thats OK - try creating a new campaign and see if that replicates - if it does, it may be a bug with the campaign tool and one for the moz staff to look into.
-
this should load up the image, im probably doing somthing daft but ive checked everything and it all looks ok
-
Could you add a screenshot - I may be being thick - but I still dont get where you areseeing info - a screenshot may help a bit
-

Confused - SEOMoz Reporting On Different Domains?
I wasn't sure which report to set up on my domain, so I set up 2 different ones which now appear like this in the Dashboard under the Campaigns section: *mysite.com www.mysite.com I want to delete the wrong report, but I noticed that they produce two slightly different report results which is interesting. My domain does not have any subdomains - which report should I delete?

Can I combine SEOmoz Campaigns.
Basically I am in internal SEO. We subscribe to SEOmoz and we have 5 campaign spots. each with their own allocation of keywords. Ideally I only want to track our site and not 4 other's. I've currently setup the campaign a couple of times with different keywords, but it would be much better if I could choose what allocates to what. I.e. 2 campaign tokens to one site and 3 to another or just 5 to one site. Is this possible, and if not why not?

Domain & Page Authority of brand new site?
Something I always do to assess how easy/difficult it will be for a clients site to rank against competitors is to compare domain and page authority scores with the scores of the competitors on page 1. This is great when Moz have spidered my clients site and can provide scores but what about where a clients site is brand new with only a few natural links? Anyone suggest a ball park figures for Domain authority on brand new websites?

SEOMOZ can we trust you?
I was thinking today what are the chances that SEOMOZ can look into my campaigns and see what keywords I am targeting, strategies etc. and then sell that information to others? There has to be some type of clause when you sign up correct? But who knows because I'm not sure. Having Rand and Matt Curts talking via twitter to each other kind of concerns me. Not that I'm worried that Google will know my strategies because we don't do any black-hat linking and anything shady but how much power does SEOMOZ really have and can they leak any information to other companies or Google? Scary stuff that's why I don't put all my eggs into one basket, I spread them out. Thoughts? Thanks in advance - Brett Shaffer

How do you use SEOmoz
I'm a newbie here. I've got a week left on my free trail. I really like SEOmoz, I might even love it a bit. 🙂 I'm trying to justify the cost. I usually don't spend money on my Internet Marketing. I've done it through finally buying some tools to help me get there. Massive change in the last year. I'm a long ways from getting rich YET though. 🙂 I've gone from $30 a month to $1000 a month in a year. So I think I'm on my way now. I'm trying to figure out why I should continue my subscription and actually start paying for it. If I were a developer I can certainly see why but the cost would so go way up. 🙂 I'm in the lowest level package with only five websites. I have 10 I'm working on. I know that's probably five to many at one time. I'm having a little trouble justifying the cost at this time. At my income level $100 a month is significant. I can see the value of seeing where my competition has backlinks. Sometimes my competition is Cnet. haha Well, I can beat them on a specific page at times. Hmm, can I search the URL list for links? Perhaps i can if I export it. That didn't occur to me. Now that could be of use if I can find my keywords. If their link is on Amazon though, I'm going to have trouble getting a link there. 🙂 Maybe I should work on less competitive links but I made good money last month with one page that was beating them. WAS beating them. How do you use SEOmoz? How do you justify the cost, that is offset the expense. If its not making me money i don't see the value. I can get a lot of this information for free but it sure is easier to get it here. Which saves me time. And the other tool i use isn't that good and not always reliable and slow. I've got a week left on my free trail. I had decided to let it go but now I'm reconsidering. $100 is a lot for me and I need to spend more on SEO outsourcing. I wonder if I wouldn't be better off dropping it for a while and then coming back. This certainly isn't mean to be a critical post at all. I'm looking for reasons to stay and make better use of it. Thanks for the thoughts, Rusty

Why doesn't the BBB / Trustlink.org links show up in the Link Analysis?
I am curious why one of my client's main competitors (www.allbayhardwood.com) shows links from the Better Business Bureau and Trustlink.org (associated with BBB) but links from those sources do not show up for his domain (www.sanjosehardwoodfloors.com). He has been a BBB Acredited Business since 12/2010 and on file with them for probably as long as they have had the online version, which seems like plenty of time for the link to have been picked up. BBB has a very nice domain authority and it would be great to see these links show up. (they don't show up in webmaster tools either) Is there something I am missing? Thanks in advance guys and gals! (I know the site has other SEO issues - just getting started on pounding everything out.)

In OSE is there a way to see the total number or links coming from each domain?
Open site explorer will only show up to to 25 links per domain but in order to fully understand the link profile for the site I'm working on, I need to know how many links are coming from each domain - when I download the linking domains report, it doesn't contain this information. Is there a way to access it?
