Why does the link analysis of my website say I have no links?
-
When I click on the "Link Analysis" tab it says my website has a domain authority of 1 and has 0's for every other category.
When I run it in Open Site Explorer - it says I have a page authority of 51 with over 4600 links.
My website also seems to be at a stand still over the past several weeks. Anyone know why the two Link Analysis is not showing anything?
Thank you

Thank you.
Although I am using Volusion for some clients, I hate them. Too limited and I will go out of my way to get customers away from them. I do have a client using Volusion, he is paying ~$500 a month for unlimited bandwidth...$500!?!?!! I mean cmon!

That is extremely funny that you mention that.
We are currently undergoing a complete re-design of our website and are switching to Magento ASAP (hopefully in the next 2-3 months). We have over 40,000 skus so it will be a task but we have had major issues with Volusion that it will be well worth any ranking dips we get after the switch
Good luck to you and thanks for all of your help!

No problem. Also I just visited your site, your right sidebar is showing up in the middle of the page when you scroll down.
Also, you should not use Volusion, they are horrible. For a small volume or local business, I guess its not that bad but if you are planning on expanding, I say leave them now while you still can.
I'd suggest Magento, hosting is cheaper. Volusion rips people off with the bandwidth limitations. I get charged 100-200 extra a month for bandwidth limitation, I am trying to move to Magento but currently don't have enough time to input 2000 products with customized descriptions and titles.

Thanks William - I entered the domain without the www. for some reason.
I appreciate your help!

What "Link Analysis" are you talking about? I'm looking around and can't see what you are referring to.
You might or should contact SEOmoz if this is part of the tool set.
What I think you are referring to is on the 'Campaign' tab and then bottom where it says competitive link analysis. If this is the case, you might have entered the wrong domain.
i.e.
These both domains could be the same root domain but will have a different page authority and domain authority. You might have the non-homepage set up in your Campaign settings, and on OSE, you are searching your exact domain probably.
This is a guess, assuming I know what you are referring to.

Find archived sitemap of a website that no longer exists
I am trying to figure out the site structure of a website and the urls of all the pages. Normally this would be easy but a couple of months ago the website went down and I don't think it will ever come back. Any help would be appreciated.

My competitor's sneaky link building technique
Hi, I can't figure out how my competitor seems to fit four invisible nav menus into her home page. If you view her page source and type "/about" for example, it shows five examples of the text linking to her "about" page. But four of them can't be located on the web page (they are hidden). How does she do this? She basically has four duplicate links that are counted for SEO but can't be seen on the webpage. address: http:// camilla peffer.com. au/ Any ideas?

Is building links just to risky to do nowadays?
Hi, How risky is link building nowadays? I have a site which has been left on its own and over time has generated links which is great, its a resource type of site so works well in that department. The reason it picks up links by itself is because I have spent time on it and in the past I could just leave and the links it would pick up would maintain its rankings. Over the last 6 months a lot of marketers have noticed this large traffic, and have produced 1 page sites going directly for my main term - then putting adsense all over it. So problem is, my site can't build links by itself as fast as these marketers are doing manually. Don't get me wrong I can do what they are doing but they don't care about their 1 pager as much as I do about my site - a lot of work has gone into it. Can I link build without running a 'big' risk of having my site hit by Google? how does one build links the way Google is ok with? Thanks.

Important link building question for me!
Hi, When building backlinks how important is the location of where the website resides? For example, if I was targeting a search term in Google UK, will link building from websites hosted on UK servers have a higher positive impact on rankings then building links from websites hosted on US servers? Lets say in the above UK hosted is better, what if you have 2 websites hosted in the UK but one with .com and one with .co.uk, I take it from a domain point of view the .co.uk will have a better impact on SERP's then the .com. Now looking at the above from a more wider scale lets say I have the following: A .co.uk website aimed at a search term in Google UK. Example: 1. 100 backlinks from websites hosted in the US with .com extension. 2. 100 backlinks from websites hosted in the UK with .co.uk extension. Is it a FACT that number 2 will 100% be more beneficial in UK rankings? Cheers

I would like suggestions for winery websites
Has anyone on here worked for, or simply know of a high authority winery website? I may have the opportunity to do some work for a vineyard/winery. Obviously there are certain universal seo tactics that I will use on the site, however my knowledge of wine is limited, so I would like some suggestions for, well deigned and seo optimized sites to study and learn from. Any suggestions?

Links in the independent.co.uk
So I was doing some research in OSE and come across links in different articles on the independent.co.uk. There are more than three but I have included three below. Do a find for "blinds" on the articles. What I find interesting is that each article has a different author. Which probably rules out a friend doing a favour. As far as I can see, of all the many different types of advertising programmes the Independent has, this is not one of them. Which begs the question, how are they getting these links? http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/ashcroft--belize-the-only-thing-he-respects-is-dollars-1811725.html http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/house-and-home/gardening/shooting-stars-a-new-book-by-anna-pavord-pays-homage-to-the-glorious-bulb-1785219.html http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/reviews/outbreak-1939-imperial-war-museum-london-1776002.html What do you think?

In Open Site Explorer, what does it mean when a linking page does not contain any reference to the URl entered?
When running Open Site Explorer on a particular URL, I get a list of linking pages. Many of these pages have a high Page Authority. I am assuming that this is a list of pages that presumably link to the URL I entered. First, is this correct? Next, when I click on an entry in the list I don't see any reference to the URL on the page, even viewing the page source. What does this mean and why is the link in the list?
