BOTW links not recognized by Open Site Explorer
-
Hi there, I was wondering if I buy a submission to the Best of the Web directory (waiting for the new directory list promised by the seomoz team
)but when I get to the category on BOTW website that will fit for my website, I took some links already there and put them on open site explorer to see their value, I had the surprise they are not even recognized...
So I am still wondering if it is worth or not...
voilĂ , if anybody knows if this directory still has value...

George, I looked at the page you shared and it appears as a solid page for a link. If it is not appearing in OSE, I would recommend contacting the help desk. There has been some issues with the Linkscape index, which is the source data OSE results are based upon.
The next Linkscape update is scheduled for Sep 20. The issue may resolve itself after the update. But based on the information you shared, it should appear currently so my recommendation is to contact the help desk so they can investigate the issue. If they can locate a bug or tweak, it may be possible to fix it without waiting another month to see your link.

Hi,
thanks for your answer, look at the category :Â http://botw.org/top/Sports/Martial_Arts/Capoeira/
the links are there for month, some for years, but when I put them into OSE, the BOTW links are not listed for none of them...

BOTW definitely has value and it's links are recognized by OSE. There are two things you should understand when using OSE:
1. The links in OSE are based on the Linkscape crawl of the web. The data is updated approximately once/month and it can be two full months before a link is visible in OSE.
2. Links are recognized based on the linking page value. DMOZ is considered by many to be the #1 directory, but there are dmoz pages that are buried so deeply they have no PR. Check the PA of the page your site will be listed on before attempting to be listed in the BOTW directory. If the site does not have a good PA value, then the link will be of little value IF it is even seen.

When do the "just discovered" links on Open Site Explorer count?
I have been working hard to get follow backlinks but they have all been in the Just Discovered part of Open Site Explorer for a long time. So they don't count in my stats for Domain Authority and such. When do they move OUT of Just Discovered?

NoFollow Links from Subdomain to root domain better than DoFollow Links?
Our service at fotograf.de is a shopsystem for professional photographers. The customers can build their own website with our tool including an onlineshop to sell their pictures. Here is my question: One part of the customers use subdomains of our site like photographers.fotograf.de. On each customer website we include a backlink to our homepage www.fotograf.de. From SEO view is it better to set these links as NoFollow Links? Or should we put one Follow Link on the starting page on each site and on the other pages only NoFollow Link? Are these links bad for our SEO regarding link diversity because they all come from one root domain? Thanks for the answers! Sebastian

What analysis exists for Out Bound Links (OBL) from your site
Hi Maybe I am missing this but I can''t seem to see it. I am doing some analysis on a client's site and want to get a csv list of links from the client's site to external sites. So what I am looking for is a list of Out Bound Links (OBL) from the client's site. I want to run these past a black list / bad link neighborhood checking script I have. This would actually be a nice feature in SEO Moz Pro, unless it actually already does and I am just missing it or not setting filters correctly. Thanks Trevor

When does Open Site Explorer automatically follow a redirect?
Does anyone know what determines when Open Site Explorer will ask if you meant to type in the redirected URL or when it will automatically change the URL to the www version. example of a site I get asked the redirect question: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/comparisons.html?site=checkbook.org Oh Hey! It looks like that URL redirects to www.checkbook.org/. Would you like to see data for <a class="clickable redirects">that URL instead</a>? example of a site that redirects automatically: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/comparisons.html?site=healthleap.com
