Crazy competitive link analysis, 1 - 40 - 38
-
I'm seeing very strange results on my competitive link analysis. It used to give me a fairly constant domain authority of 38, now one hour i'm seeing 1, then 38 then back to 1 but if I look in opensite explorer it says I have 40. The same weirdness is having to every other stat in the section both in the overview and more detailed section.
The same thing is happening with one of the other competitors i'm comparing my link profile with.
What's going on?

Right on! Thanks Chiaryn! Thanks engineers!

Thanks. Much appreciated!

Hi Everyone,
Our engineers found the issue with the way that information was being pulled from the index and they were able to correct the problem. The campaign and the link analysis data is now matching what OSE is showing.
Please let us know if you're still having any issues.
Thanks,
Chiaryn

Hi There.
I'm really sorry your data is looking off. This sounds like there might be a bug in the way that the Competitive Link Analysis is pulling the data in from the index. I believe that the correct information should be what you're seeing in OSE.
Our engineers are currently looking into the issue, but I am going to create a support ticket for you so I can send them your specific information to look into. You will receive an email notification that the ticket has been created and you can respond with any further information there.
I highly encourage any other users that are experiencing this issue to write in with all of the campaign information to help@seomoz.org so we can further investigate the problem.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

It's happening on the SEOmoz website on my campaign over view page:
http://pro.seomoz.org/campaigns/156251
Broswers affected:
Firefox 13.0.1
Chrome 20.0.1132.47 m
and in
Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 the competitive link analysis won't even appear I just see spinning set of arrows and a loading note.
I'm using win 7 and everything is updated to latest versions including Java 6.0.220.4
It started happening as soon as the most recent link data went live in July

Clearly seems like a bug with your SEOmoz bar (or whatever you are using) try to uninstall and restart it again!
-
I'm having exactly the same issue. Except the results in OSE are equally erratic.
And as I wrote elsewhere, it took 5 months for another of my clients to show up at all.
Remind me again, please, why I'm paying $99 a month?

This sounds like a bug!
Write down everything you can to reproduce the errors:
Brower version, operating system, steps to reproduce the error etc.
This will help SEOMoz to find and fix the bug!

How bad are poor link profiles for a website?
A client has recently switched to us for their SEO and is hugely concerned about their previous company's link building efforts.They say that they have recently removed over 300 links but OSE still lists 160 links.So three questions: How long will it take for OSE to recognise if the links have been removed? How great could the effects of this be on the site's rankings? If we continue to struggle with getting the links removed would Google's disavow tool make much of a difference or are there negatives that sould be considered first?

Site Explorer shows links as followable but they have nofollow tags
Hello, I am looking at site explorer and sites linking to my site moneyfact.co.uk. I've got thousands of links showing as 'followable' but when i check them they have rel="nofollow" tags. e.g: http://www.dianomioffers.co.uk/partner/moneyfacts.co.uk/brochures.epl?partner=93&partner_id=93&partner_variant_id=33 Why would they show as followable when the links are nofollowed? Thanks Steve

Too many on-page links
I received a warning in my most recent report for too many on-page links for the following page: http://www.fateyes.com/blog/. I can't figure out why this would be. I am counting between 60-70 including all pull downs, "read more's", archive, category and a few additional misc. links. Any ideas or suggestions on this? Or what I might do to rectify? Perhaps it's just an SEOmoz report blip... We currently don't have the post list rolling to additional pages so it's kind of passively set up to be endless, but it's in the works.

How do I see all links to my site in Web Explore?
It appears that the Web Explore looks for exact matches to a page. I'd like to see all matches to any page. Will regular expressions work?

Another link profile tool available
SEOMoz Link Analysis tool apparently doesn't have any info on my clients site - www.tricitymech.com according to the response from Open Site Explorer. Is there a free tool available that doesn't use OSE that you could recommend?

Inbound Links Report Problem
While looking over my competitors inbound link report, they have a reported 5K inbound links. The first 20 listed inbound domains are things like UPS, and other sites that when I look at them, and the source file has no link to their domain at all??? So are they using some kind of Black Hat technique, or is SEOMoz not reporting properly? Help please.

Open site explorer - Analysing competitors links
When using open site explorer to analyse my competitors links, when going through them, I would click them to have a look at them. Almost all of the ones I clicked on something started to download on my computer and would be a blank page or the tab would disappear when the download begun. What is this? Why have they done this? Is this bad practice? Thanks
