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!

Inbound external links
Hi I have a question about inbound external links The good news is that I have 135 inbound links showing up in open site explorer, where my main competitor has 4 The bad news is that these are not the links that I have been building myself. The links are sometimes in a foreign language, rarely in an entertainment category, which my website is, and there seems no way to add a link on the page. I did buy some links when I first started out, but I was advised not to do it again But these are clearly working despite their apparent lack of value Then the question is where are my web directory listings, social bookmarks, social media content and web 2.0 articles, and the links I found my competitor had, that I was able to add my own website on, I have manually grafted for these links, have I been wasting my time with all of these?.

SeoMoz: Competitive domain analysis report doesn't add up?
Hi, When I check OSE against the Competitive Domain Analysis report in my account the numbers are way off. If the CDA report was 100%, OSE is showing 30% of that. I'm looking at linking root domains with no filters applied. Is the data not pulled from the same db? Thanks.

Open Site Explorer, Which is the right link number?
Hi SEOMozers, I am trying to check a record of links to one of the websites I help look after. One problem with the site is the home page automatically redirects to /home which seems to make OSE give some weird results. I can give out the domain if need be but I would rather not if I can help it 😉 To sum up what's happening when you put the domain into OSE with the /home then I get the social figures but the link number is right out saying the site has 200 links. Typing in the domain without the /home brings up no social figures and 15k links which looks more correct. Also OSE has the notification about the redirect and if I'd like to go to the /home version. The weird thing is however is if I change the filter to 'Pages on this root domain' which should show all links pointing to the website, the figures don't change...? Has anyone experienced this? Any solutions? Or is it a known bug? Cheers for any help in advance!

Missing Page Titles On The Comptetive Link Comparison Page
Hello, When I do a Link Analysis using the SEOmoz tools I have noticed that most of the pages listed on the Top Pages tab show [No Data] for page title. Any idea why that could be? The page source of those pages have one and only one <title>tag.</p> <p>Thanks!</p></title>

Advanced Link Report Different Link # than Total Links??
Hi, I've downloaded a csv report for links in "advanced reports" section. At the very top in blue OSE lists overall metrics, i.e. Domain Auth, Page Auth, Linking Root Domains, and then it lists "Total Links" at 1,769. When I download the advanced report in csv I have 505 total links in Excel. Why is there a difference between Total Links and what I have downloaded? What makes up the Total Links? The report I created included, "inbound links/linking pages, Types of Links: any; Links that come from: Any Page, Any IP; Links that link to: any page on subdomain; links with properties: any; Thanks!

Is seomoz rogerbot only crawling the subdomains by links or as well by id?
I´m new at seomoz and just set up a first campaign. After the first crawling i got quite a few 404 errors due to deleted (spammy) forum threads. I was sure there are no links to these deleted threads so my question is weather the seomoz rogerbot is only crawling my subdomains by links or as well by ids (the forum thread ids are serially numbered from 1 to x). If the rogerbot crawls as well serially numbered ids do i have to be concerned by the 404 error on behalf of the googlebot as well?

Any way to see if google penalizes them for there tactics or if that can hurt me by them linking to me or whatever? I am at the beginning of a link building mission, but want to ensure that I do it methodically and correctly as possible based on the combines wisdom of this community. Thanks for your help, Steven
