Also be aware that Linkscape does not crawl the entire web, but about 25% of it, focusing on the highest quality sites. This is why Anthony was asking about the type of links and the type of pages they are on.

DMoz is definitely still valuable (although you can wait forever to get your submission approved), as are a number of other high powered directories. This is just a starting point for your link building, however. The best links come from relevant websites. Try combing through your competitors' backlinks (or better yet, use SEOmoz's competitive research tool) - it's typically a great way to get an idea of what link tactics work in your industry, and it can really help inspire you to step your game up.

What type of links were you building - directory submissions? If you're building links that are deep into a directory with thousands and thousands of pages, it can take a long time for Google/SEOmoz to crawl the page, if ever.
Try higher quality link building with websites in your niche - you'll find that these are picked up much faster and way more powerful than lower quality links. Build a great piece of content and market it to niche bloggers and site owners via e-mails and social media. Network with bloggers in your industry and set up a guest post on their website. Find an industry event and sponsor it publicly.
It's better to create one GREAT link every day than to build 100 mediocre links every day.

Decent domain authority score with no links other than their own linking back to them. How is that possible?
Hello everyone I just spotted the following 'abnormality' while doing a little link analysis with Open Search Explorer. I checked out a site that has a domain authority score of 35, when the only domain linking back to them is ''the site itself'. They happen to have a domain authority of 35 themselves, but no other links pointing back to them apart from their own and yet they have the same authority as other sites with twice the amount of content and an actual backlink profile. How is that possible? 🙂 Links and authority scores, stills baffles me...

What's the best way to make sure a link is worth getting?
I know what tools to use and I use all of SEOmoz's tools daily. PA, DA, MR, & MT are all things I take into account, but sometimes all you have to do is look at a site and you can tell it's not worth it. I'll analyze the page's backlink's and everything in between. Are there any tricks out there that can help the decision making process? I'm tired of trying to get links on sites that clearly are not worth it, but all of their stats say otherwise. So do you stick with stats, or is it a judgement call? I'm particularly curious about determining the amount of possible traffic from a link. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Pushing for the Top 3 Spots
Getting a site listed on the first page for most keywords is fairly easy but pushing for the final 3 positions can be difficult. Have you ever experienced a point where you feel you have given all you can for a campaign and are left scratching your head as to why your not taking over the competitors site ? From experience SEO only tends to count once you reach those top positions. When you reach burnout with a keyword with link building etc Where do you turn ?
