Tool bar - Analyse page - Link data
-
Hi all,
Need a little help to understand this link information, if you go to our toolbar it show 1.6 million links on 224 root domains. when you analyse the page using the Tool bar.
the link data show the page as having over 3000 internal links but when you go page attributes it shows a more complementary 92 page links
we have a menu to all our pages and I am wondering if this is being registered in its entirety
-
Glad to have helped Gavin, I hope you manage to find those links causing the problems.
Good luck!

Your right the 3,164 change from page to page but only by 30-40 so I think it's an error.
Brilliant ok I'll take a look into the anchor text from the aggressive domains.
Paul your a life saver, I may have some hair left by the end of today, atleast now I know.
And knowing is half the battle

Gavin it could be an error, or it's just talking about your domain as a whole. Either way, the 112 is the number that's most likely correct. I cannot imagine you'd have 3,164 links on a page.
A simple test, would be to view another page. Does the 3,164 figure change? I'd fathon a guess, that it will stay the same.
Find which of the domains are linking to you so aggressively, are they using overly optimised anchor text? It could be that you've been a victim of negative SEO.
Regardless of what some SEO's will tell you, it's negative SEO is very real. Google is NOT smart enough to know whether you paid for the link, or a competitor did.
-
Ahhhhhh That makes sense. Some one has been farming out our link it seems which is exceptionally annoying. That's going to be fun to fix.
Do you have any ideas what the "Internal Followed Links 3,164" on page means?
According to page attributes I have "Internal Followed Links 112" but The Page Link Data says 3,164... maybe a error on the toolbar?
Your a star Paul

1.6 million links, from 224 root domains, means that some or many of those domains contain links site wide. i.e in their sidebars, footers or even main navigation.
So basically you have 224 websites linking to you, but between those websites, they're sending you 1.6 million links.
This is itself could be a problem, especially if the anchor text for a lot of your links, is over optimised and not very well distributed throughout your pages.
Take a look at the 224 websites linking and figure out which are likely to be causing a problem under Penguin.

Cheers Paul, makes logical thinking but then where does the tool bar get of by saying on the domain authority 224 root domains and 1.6 million links, I dont really undersand it, we have been hit very Hard since the Penguin update, and I am trying to get a true reflection of what google is seeing, opensite explorer says one thing, webmaster tools says another, but no matter where you go to or which data you try and level from the hits are declining monthly.
we are doing good link building, we are bloging daily, creating new content, but still getting hammered. if we had a set of metrics that we could rely on then at least we know how to work the field.
Any thought Paul ?
cheers

Hi Gavin, I assume you're talking about the moz toolbar? I've not used it for a number of years.
However, from what you've said, is it possible that the data in the tool bar i.e 3,000 internal links is looking at the domain as a whole and when you click page attributes, it's figure is relative to the page?

Keyword data archiving
Hi all, With the limit on the keyword counts, I'm not sure how people are going about collecting data for larger keyword sets? I initially thought to alternate my keywords monthly but can't seem to archive the results. Any thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks

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?

If you only had a limited budget for tools...
With a limited budget for SEO tools, what would you suggest having that would cover everything. Lets say with a £200 a month budget. We only look after ourselves, which is around 5 accounts in terms of PPC, so SEO follows similar suit. Is SEOmoz effective enough to cover all of our basis. Are there bits it is missing that are better else where? What are your thoughts basically and what are the benefits of each tool. Thanks in advance

Competitive Link finder tool
I tried to use competitive link finder tool. it says that it will identify 10 most important links that my competitor get that I do not. The results that I get are inconsistent with linkscape tool. For example my competitor has a link on www lawyer-links dot info Google rank of that site is 1. Is that really one of their most important links?

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.

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
