Open Site Explorer Changed?
-
I am getting this at the bottom of Open Site Explorer. I have never seen this message before.
"Why does my number of inbounds links listed not match my total links count? The listed number may be slightly different because we only show 25 links per domain (so that you see a variety). Additionally you have 18 links from no-indexed pages. Unfortunately, we can't get info for those links."
Did SEOMoz change something? If I look at a site, SEOMOZ's OSE doesn't show me all the links it can find anymore? It only shows 25 max???

Marking the question as answered is appreciated, but I also just did that. Will never turn down a thumbs up, but we don't go looking for them either in Q&A.
If you do 200 links worth of guest posting from one domain, we won't show you all of that, but you can still look in Google and Bing and see the links there..and you'd probably have a couple of tired writers on your hands, too.

Okay, I thought it mean from all domains linking to me. I didn't realize it meant 25 links from one of the domains to me. So if I engage in a lot of blogging to one particular site, and create 200 backlinks on that site, I don't see them all on OSE.
Gotcha!
Does it help staff if they get the thumbs up/good answer ? LOL

OSE shows just 25 links from a single domain, so we can show you a variety of results, as opposed to showing all 13,000 links you might have from the same domain because of a site-wide footer link, for example. I don't know the complete history, but it's been this way for some time.

Article submission web-sites and SEO
Does article submission web-sites have any impact to SEO in these days? There are a lot of good/not so good article submission databases, but does it really matter if you spend a time to write unique articles for them? I mean, is it a good way for link-building, or should I spend more time for other parts of SEO? There are also a special websites (for example SubmitYourArticle) which automate this process, does it make sense to use this services? Alternates? Lots of questions… Update Sorry, I found some good answers only after that I posted this question.

Bought links from sites with target keyword in their URL
One of my rivals in a competitive field (real estate) has done this deliberately and extensively -- it accounts for about 2/3 of his inbound links. Result: he's now #1. How strong a ranking factor is keywords in source URL - ie, how easy is it to beat with other ranking factors?
