No Link Data Available for this URL appears often. Are my sites too small to show up?
-
I am on the trial until Mar 5, 2012.
I seldom get the info I want. Is it because my sites are too narrow a niche?
I don't seem to be getting the data I'd like from your service. I'm trying to like it, but when I keep getting messages like this, it makes it hard to justify:
"No Link Data Available for this URL appears often"
Sample sites that I am unable to get data. I especially would like to know how many backlinks exist for each site. I paid someone to help me with them and I'd like to verify their work.:

http://costaricadentistreviews.com/
http://costaricadentalimplants.org
Any suggestions?
Thanx

Thanks for the insights and thorough reply. Actually both 1. and 2. are in play.
Number 1. because the site is new like you said.
Number 2. because the second site, http://CostaRicaDentistReviews.com has had a hired "SEO Expert" who has been working on it since early Jan 2012 whereas the one without the 's' at the end, i.e. http://CostaRicaDentistReview.com has had little done to it.
As I stated in another 'Thank You' reply, I setup both so I could test the two. One with no work, the other being worked on by the hired SEO guy. He said it would take about 4 months for results to show, which makes sense. But, here I am paying him each month, hoping he's right.
One red flag that I see is that he is submitting the same short content ( 3 lines) to every bookmark site. Seventy-five per day.
I am not that SEO knowledgeable but this seems like Google suicide to me. But, he's the "SEO Expert" so what do I know, right?
Thanks again for your help and time!

Thanks for the reply and helpful answer and comments. The second site, http://CostaRicaDentistReviews.com is the one that I have an "SEO Expert" working on whereas the one without the 's' at the end, i.e. http://CostaRicaDentistReview.com has had little done to it.
I setup both so I could test the two. One with no work, the other being worked on by the hired SEO guy. He said it would take about 4 months for results to show, which makes sense. But, here I am paying him each month, hoping he's right.
One red flag that I see is that he is submitting the same, short - very short, as in 3 lines in length short - article to each bookmark site. To me, this is Google suicide, but he's the "SEO Expert" and I'm only the lowly novice with the bad feeling in my gut.
Your answer helps me see that I am jumping the gun, looking for results too early. I'm doing that because I'm paying for the backlink work and suspecting it's for naught because of the replicated content.
Ok, too much info probably, but I wanted to say thanks, and I got carried away. Thanks again for your help!

It's usually 1 of 2 causes that will give you a blank result on Open Site Explorer (OSE).
1. the site is so new, or the newly built links to the site are so new that OSE has not had time to crawl and display those links in their most recent index update. SEOmoz updates the index in OSE once every 30-40 days.
2. all of the links pointing to your sites have not been crawled by OSE. OSE crawls a big portion of the Internet, but it does not crawl 100% of sites out there. So, if we are talking about a site with only a small handful of links, it's quite possible that OSE just doesn't have the crawl depth to pick them up.
Scenario 1 is the most probable case. I looked at the whois information for the first URL you provided, and the domain was registered in December. So, if your site has been active for less than a couple months, I would suspect your link building activities trailed that by several weeks. I would suggest giving it more time for any links you've built (or paid to have built) will start to show up.
In the meantime, you can work on establishing your on-page SEO elements. Have you created a campaign in the SEOmoz tools yet? That is a great start. Good luck!

I checked the first site you linked to and it seems pretty new - just about 2 months old I believe? It doesn't seem to have any links/ authority as of yet and thats why it gives you that "No Link Data Available..." message.
Try acquiring some links on other relevant websites and checking back a few weeks later.

.com site referral traffic to ccTLDs
We have 7 international domains set up along with our main .com site. All of the ccTLds are showing their main referral traffic as coming from the .com site in GA, and most of those being from mobile. Each site is set up correctly with geo-targeting and hreflang tags. Has anyone experienced this before?

Difference in incoming links between web masters tool and moz
Why are incoming links to my site in Google Webmasters tools totally different then in MOZ? Which is correct? According to Google as of this week I have hundreds of links coming from linkarena (dot) com (Never heard) Does any one know who they are or if they are hurting me? I definitely did not pay them to put me on there. It looks like a German site. Thank you.

Having Issue with Site Search in Analytics
Hi Mozzers, We launched a website in October 2012 and have added in the settings(Google analytics) of that profile "Do Track Site Search" since we have a search box on the website. The site search report worked for 10 days and it was over(from end of december till beginning of January 2013). Since then I have been trying to understand this issue. I have added all the query search terms possible, but still not showing any signs of life. At this point I am not sure what to do? Some Help would be appreciated! Search URL= subdomain.example.com**/search/node/**.... Thanks! z93cGUZ.png

Show item status in GA - LIve vs sold vs unsold
Hi guys, I am working with SEO for an auction site with B2C and C2C. (similar to eBay) All item\products on our page have an unique url. The auction can last from hours to weeks.
Reporting & Analytics | | helgeolaussen
When the item is live, sold or (finished but)unsold it still has the same url.
So when I take a look at SEO traffic to items in Google Analytics, I can't tell if the item was live, sold or unsold at the time the user landed on the page. Which makes it diffucult to analyse the traffic. Is there anyway I can make GA show the status of the item for the time user landed on it? Best regards, Ceran0 -

Finding and removing "Bad" Back Links
In the process of trying to figure out where all of the “Bad” backlinks are coming from I used the SEOmoz Site Explorer. I can see the links that may be questionable but am not sure how to determine if these are the issue causing the loss of rank or could it be something else. On Google webmasters they list Siteloki.com as the one with the most links. The count is now at 13,005. (see attached WMT report)

I first noticed this a month ago, 6,742 links and have tried contacting them with no reply, no results, I have even posted on the site asking to be removed from their listing and not response. Website: www.getyourphotosoncanvas.com I do not understand why this site is not showing up in the Site Explorer link analysis report (See attached)? Could this be some sort of hack or hidden links that Site Explorer does not see? How do I determine if this is real or not, if it is the reason that Google is demoting us? Google says that we are not being manually penalized? 5zAQq Iz9ct0 -
Getting traffic for another site
Hi Everyone, Our website url/brand is very close to another website url/brand. We are non-competing entities. It appears as though this other company has begun a marketing program which has resulted in our traffic skyrocketing. However, it seems to have also resulted in our Pages/Visit and Visit Duration to decrease and our Bounce Rate to increase. Can anyone suggest how to deal with this type of scenario? Thanks,

Stats show /blog/wp-cron.php at the top. What is it?
Hi, I have worked with websites for years but have no clue when it comes to Wordpress. We have our main website and then a Wordpress blog running in a subfolder that is only about a year old. The blog has only 7 posts so you can see how small it is vs main website with 200 pages. Usually our main index page of the site is at the top of the stats with the most views and this page /blog/wp-cron.php is about 30% lower. Now suddenly over the last month this page has jumped to the top and accessed almost as much as the home page of the site. We took a big hit with the latest Google Update so we are tyring to determine if there is anything technical in our site that has caused an issue. Thanks in advance Force7
