On page links tool here at Seomoz
-
Hi Seomoz - first of all, thanks for the best SEO tools I have ever worked with (this is my first question in this forum, and also I just subscribed as a paying customer after the 30 days trial you guys offer).
My question:
After having worked for several weeks on getting the numbers of links in our forum on www.texaspoker.dk down, we are somewhat surprised to see that we didn't succeed in getting lower numbers.
For instance, this page: http://www.texaspoker.dk/forum/aktuelle-konkurrencer/coaching-projekt-bliver-du-den-udvalgte has (that's what Seomoz seo tool tells us): 239 on page links. Can this really be true? We can't find these links, and we actuually did a lot to lower the numbers of links, for instance the forum members picture was a link before, and also there was a "go to top" link in each post in the forum.
Thanks a lot.

Both of you: Thank you very much! I tagged this question as "good answer" as I believe I got my answer. What about you Pedro?
Great article by Dr. Pete, by the way - thanks for sharing!

There's a couple issues to address here, so let's start with the links.
When I ran the page through a tool called SEO browser, it counted 240 links. This was divided between 5 External and 235 Internal. This includes all the navigation links and most of the profile links as well.
The bigger question is, is this bad? 100 links per page is the accepted best practice, and that's why it's included in the tool. But it's not always appropriate for every case.
Dr. Pete wrote a great article on this: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-many-links-is-too-many
In your case, and for the type of page it is, I'd say you're in pretty good shape as far as the number of links go.

Well as far Im aware the crawling in SEOmoz is once a week.
However I have a project with the same problem as yours. In www.digitaldiscovery.eu I have like 200 on-page links in SEOmoz analyze. I already made the correction but in the SEOmoz analyze it still shows up 200 links in several pages of the website after 2 months..... I think we need help here Soren
Anyone from SEOmoz support team please?

Hi Pedro,
Thank you very much for your answer. I have been thinking of the very same as you say: "Maybe it's not updated yet" - but I just think it's strange if the tool has a "memory", since the analysis is made from a complete new crawl ....

Hello Soren,
Your talking about links in your site that are pointing to external websites, right?
If so the SEOmoz tools will take a while to show the situacion updated. Still a SEOmoz member crew would be usefull here

Links being reported in Webmaster Tools
Hi Are the Total Links To Your Site, as reported in GWT, purely external inbound links ? Since these links are usually, as far as i can tell, much higher in number than any other link reporting tool and hence, i presume, more accurate, why don't services such as Moz etc include this in reporting ? I know its just a total number and link quality is whats important not quantity, but i would have thought interesting to show in reporting in conjunction with link quality info such as is already reported. Since most backlink reporting tools do show a total but always much much lower than that reported in gwt (i think) All Best Dan

Are seomoz ranking in jeopardy?
A few weeks ago Raventools announced that they would no longer be able to provide tools based on the adwords API, then withdrew that. Rand commented on a thread here discussing that and made similar noises. Today Raventools made an announcement as SERP tracking with wording that sounded a lot like it had more than a little influence from Google. Would I be really paranoid to be wondering whether the Rankings tools in seomoz could be at risk?

How to Refresh the Rankings Tool?
Is there a way to manually refresh the "Rankings" part of a campaign? I know about the Rank Tracker tool but didn't have a lot of keywords set up there. So I need to refresh the Rankings in the Campaign to know exactly which rankings have dropped in the past few hours... any way to do that?

Has the relevancy of SEOmoz tools disappeared?
I have A rankings for my on-site grades for my most important keywords. I have no Critical issues and no Warnings with my Crawl Diagnostics. Most of the Competiive Link analysis data shows my site beating out the competition. If all this is accurate, how can my SERPs continue to decrease and lesser pages with terrible optimization and backlinking be ranking higher? I even have a facebook page beating me in the results. If there is nothing left for me to address using SEOmoz, and I keep getting worse & results, doesn't it mean that the SEOmoz tools are not relevant to producing actual results? Or, am I missing something?

How good is Link Assistant Suite? and how good is the SEOmoz API?
Ive gotten many mixed opinions on Link Assistant and its complete suite, I wanted to get some opinions on the matter.. Anyone use these tools? What is the difference between these tools and other tools on the web? Would adding the free SEOmoz API into this software show better results?

Only crawling one page
Hi there, A campaign was crawling fine, but at the last crawl, for some reason, SEOmoz can only crawl one page... any ideas? If I run a custom crawl I still access all of the site's pages.

I see an abundance of websites that don't link out at all, and there is no data available to seoMoz for the sites, some like http:// regal - diving dot com (trying not to get moderated AGAIN Innocent need to show which link and its a competitor kind of) are not linking to anyone else just internal links. How come they dont show info to SEOMOZ Should I link out from home page, is this detrimental does ANY single link from home page show google that I am not a PROPER web business. thanks

"Rank Tracker Tool" is not agreeing with "Keyword Difficulty Tool"
I usually don't sweat a lot for ranks and such but last couple of days, our rankings have been moving drastically. 'Rank Tracker' shows 1st position for many keywords and the "keyword difficulty tool" shows 2nd and 3rd positions. Is is just me or this is a common thing?
