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?

A 301 redirect to a page with a rel canonical to a page with a 301 question...
MOZ registers thousands of DC and Duplicate titles on a Drupal site which has a little strange setup. Example: www.1234.com/en-us 301 redirects to www.realsite.com/en-us which has a rel canonical to www.1234.com which 301 redirects to www.realsite.com. If you're still with me I thank you.

My question is since MOZ registers errors, if indeed the rel canonical isn't recognized due to a 301 redirect?0 -
When will links appear
When will links appear? Hi I submitted one of our products to a range of beauty bloggers and all of the reviews came back, really positive, along with links to our site. However when I run a back link report in open site explorer only one of these links is showing up even though the links all went live at about the same time. Can any one explain this in discrepancy?

How long will it take for Page Rank (or Page Authority) to flow via a 301 redirect?
I've recently redeveloped a static site using WordPress and have created 301 redirects for the original urls to the new urls. I know I won't get all the value passed via the 301, but I'm hoping some will. Any idea how long this may take? It's been nearly a month since the changeover so wondering if it would be weeks, months or more?

What web page and domain analysis / error checking / testing tools do you use for competitor analysis? sites like webpagetest
Just wondering what everyone is using, I am looking to get as much insight and detail as I can on websites that are not currently being monitored by me... i.e. potential clients. I use tools like pagespeed, webpagetest, loadimpact and open site explorer, google adwords, ispionage, alexa, semrush and well, looking for more. I really just want to rip a website to the tiniest pieces possible in an organized and coherent manner... is there anything out there? I have tried several other's which i no longer use (compete, 4q, woopra, nuestar, to name a few), I am not sure if I know exactly what i want, i just want more.... damn the human condition. lol

Where is the keyword difficulty tool data sourced from?
I also use Market Samurai, and I've noticed what seem to be big discrepancies with the keyword data presented by this (data comes from Majestic SEO) and the Keyword Difficulty Tool. To take just one example, I analyze the term "how to remove tea stains" In the Keyword Difficulty Tool, this returns the following: Root Domain Linking Root Domains: 2,233 Page Linking Root Domains: 4 When I use Market Samurai, however, the data returned is: RDD (Domains linking to this domain): 19,911 RDP (Domains linking to this page): 19 I thought that these two metrics were the same for both tools, but I've written them out in case someone sees a difference. As I say, Market Samurai data is sourced from Majestic SEO - a reputable SEO company - but I have no idea where the Keyword Difficulty Tool data is from, nor why these differences are so pronounced? Are they indeed the same metrics in both cases, or am I missing something? Any insight would be much appreciated.

Status 404-pages
Hi all, One of my websites has been crawled by SEOmoz this week. The crawl showed me 3 errors: 1 missing title and 2 client errors (4XX). One of these client errors is the 404-page itself! What's your suggestion about this error? Should a 404-page have the 404 http status? I'd like to hear your opinion about this one! Thanks all!
