SEOmoz Toolbar vs. Opensiteexplorer
-
Dumb question, why is the SEOmoz Toolbar reporting vastly different data than opensitexplorer?
I had assumed they pulled from the same data set. False assumption? Am I misinterpreting the metrics?
The discrepancies with which I am most confused are differences in number of root linking domains between OSE and Toolbar.
Please enlighten me.

Yeah I don't bother with ALM anymore, it doesn't track like it's supposed to even with the API. AWR is great but ALM is close to useless in my opinion.

Thanks Jennifer, I think my issue is with the way Caphyon's Advanced Link Manager is accessing SEOmoz's linkscape API.

Hi! OSE and the toolbar do use the same data, they both pull from the Linkscape index. It would be helpful to take a look at a specific URL so I can help point out what's what. But one thing to note, as Daniel already mentioned, when you're looking at the toolbar it shows both Page data and Root Domain data. In OSE at first glance you're getting just the data for that page. If you click on the "Full List of Link Metrics" tab, you'll see the exact same numbers.
Hope this helps! I'm happy to help further by looking at specific URLs.
Thanks!

Thanks Daniel. I think my issue has something to do with the way my SEOmoz Pro account is integrating with Caphyon Advanced Link Manager.
For some reason it's not pulling all the domains from linkscape.

Depends on what you are looking at. When you look up the URL in OSE, it will show you linking domains to that URL, not to the whole domain. If in OSE you go to the full link metrics tab you can see everything on that url and domain, and all of those numbers should be in the toolbar somewhere.

Do the SEOmoz Campaign Reports follow Robots.txt?
Hello, Do the SEOmoz Campaign Reports (that track errors and warnings for a website) follow rules I write in the robots.txt file? I've done all that I can to fix the legitimate errors with my website, as reported by the fabulous SEOmoz tools. I want to clean up my pages indexed with the search engines so I've written a few rules to exclude content from Wordpress tag URLs for instance. Will my campaign report errors and warnings also drop as a result of this?

SEOMoz Link Analysis Not Updating?
Hi there, I am wondering why the Link Analysis in SEOMoz takes so long to recognise new back-links. I have had the same figures showing for months when I know that I have added a lot more backlinks that are showing in my Google WebMaster account and I have also proven exist by searching directly in Google's search engine. How often does the Link Analysis section update itself? Are these figures worth following at all or are they useless? Thanks!

FF SEOMoz toolbar issue
I sent the email below to help@seomoz.org on the 12th April and haven't heard anything back so thought I'd fire it up here in case someone has a solution for me... "For the past month or so I've had an issue in Firefox where my SEOmoz toolbar appears to not sign me in, or allow me to sign in. All metrics are 0 for all websites/pages and if I click the login button, nothing happens at all. If I click the Quick Links button the drop down menu appears but whichever option from the drop down I choose, nothing happens. I'm funning Firefox 11.0 and have attached a screen grab of the bar as it appears no matter where I browse.

Is there a way to manually update the keyword rankings tool in SEOmoz?
It appears that our keyword rankings update weekly on Thursdays. Is this the same across the board or is there a way to manually run an update?

How to work round issue with SEOMOZ not supporting SSL?
I have a website that it running via SSL, to secure the website, to reassure the customer is browsing (and so will be purchasing) on a secure website, and to show off the green address bar which many of my competitors do not have. However in my campaign I am getting on Links showing, with my rank reporting '1', surely this cannot be! I asked a Help question, and the only response was: "Unfortunately, we don't currently support https for our linkscape crawls. This is definitely something that we plan to implement in the future though! I hope that helps and I apologize for any inconveniences!" This definately does not help.. Is there any way of working around this issue, or will I be forced to cancel my SEOMOZ membership?

LDA vs Farmer/Panda Update
Has anyone re-run the correlation data for webpages' LDA Score since Google's Farmer/Panda update? I still have my writers use the LDA Tool and I am curious to know if there was a significant change in correlation now that "quality content" is touted as a more important ranking factor by Google.

I want to hire someone to write some PHP code using the SEOmoz API.
...but I'm not sure how to go about it. What I need is simple: all I want is to be able to paste a list of URLs (different domains), and have the program return the Page Authority for all those URLs. I understand I can use the free SEOmoz API, particularly the URL Metrics API. Then I want to export the data to an Excel file. That's it. Problem is, I have absolutely no clue how to do it. Obviously I'd pay someone to do it. Pay very well if you can do it professionally and quickly. How can I go about finding the right person for the job? Apologies if this is not the right place to ask this, but I don't know where else to go. Thanks.
