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/

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.

Problems with analytics, conversation data and assisted conversions
Hi guys. Having issues with analytics. Firstly, it doesn't record all our sales accurately. My boss downloaded a sales report directly from our site, and it doesn't match up to the analytics, our actual sales were significantly higher than Google analytics was reporting (by about a 1/3). Any idea why Google is missing so many of the conversions? Also, I'm trying to work our how many assisted conversion we are getting from our ad words campaigns. I've been looking through our top conversion path data to try find conversions that started with a paid click. However, I seem to have some inconsistencies. We have only one ad words group that is on the display network (Re-marketing V1 Ad group 1) , and according to analytics we have a conversion from it (See Screen shot 1). However, there is no record of this in our ad words data. (See screen shot 2). This is over the same time period. I don't know what to take from this. Can anyone help? Isaac.

Google is not indexing all URLs
My website have company and events profile from 200 countries. So it does have lots of URL. Earlier in August 2014, Google used to crawl 90% of URLs we submit. Thing goes wrong when we shifted from http to https. We lost traffic. But we are gaining it slowly. Main concern is that, It still does not indexed all submitted URLs. It have crawled merely 8% of all URLs submitted. site address is businessvibes.com Any help would be appreciated.

How does Google Maps/G+ traffic show up in Analytics?
Hi Moz Community, I've been trying to figure out how traffic from Google Maps (and G+) shows up in Google Analytics and am struggling to find a good answer online. If someone finds a business through Google Maps and then clicks on the website in the Maps listing, does that show up as a referral from Google Maps? Our site shows virtually zero traffic from Google Maps even though we have a number of listing. Two related questions: if someone clicks through to a G+ page from a Maps result and then visits our website from the G+ page, does that show up in Analytics as a referral from G+? Is traffic from Google Maps or G+ ALSO counted as organic traffic? (Would it be possible to accidentally double-count a visit as both organic and a referral from Maps/G+? Thanks everybody!

Keeping Google Analytics Data when Moving to Subdomain
Hey All, Against my objections a client has decided to move an existing site into a subdomain while putting up a new site on the main domain. My question revolves around Google Analytics, how do I make sure that I don't lose historical data on the domain before it moves to a subdomain? We're going to be doing a redesign of the old site and I need to keep the historical data so I can prioritize content. What do I need to do? Or will Google analytics recognize the URL's and still attribute the data to those URL's or will I have a separate set of data based on the new URL (with the subdomain). Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks!

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,
