Why am I not getting my allowance of 10,000 inbound links in csv download file? 370 out of 4700??
-
Hi,
I'm desparately trying to audit my backlinks to remove a penguin penalty on my site livefit.co.uk
When I do the inbound link report i'm not getting all the links in the download. I know there is a limit of 25 links from each linking site so we get the full picture of links bu:
-
I have 4700 links so why does it need to limit it when we are supposed to see up to 10,000?
-
When you check the link profile on the report it doesn't seem there are many sites with anything close to 25, so surely that rule is invalid as an explanation here?
Should I just work off OSE? But there is less useful info than on the csv..
I'd be very grateful for your thoughts.
Thanks!
James

Hi James,
Kyle provided some very good responses. Has your issue been resolved?
Cheers,

The rule of thumb is to try and keep below 100 links per page as well as trying to limit the amount of site wide links.
Check out the crawl section in the pro campaign - they have a warning if you have to many on-page links. That would be a great starting place to check.

Thanks Kyle. I was already looking at the root domain. But your response triggered me to check external vs. internal and I found that the 370 links in the csv were my external AND the other 4300 were internal... is having that many internal links ok? The site has 92 indexed pages according to GWMT..
Thanks for your help

This has happened to me in the past, make sure when you are setting your filter you have everything set correctly to get your full link profile. Make sure you have the inbound links tab selected and your filter is set like this:
Show "all" links from "only external" pages to "pages on this root domain" and "show links ungrouped".
The biggest issue is making sure you have it set to root domain, if not you will only be pulling the backlink profile to your homepage. Let me know if that did the trick, if not i would submit a help ticket to help@semoz.org. They are normally really responsive!

Robots.txt file issues on Shopify server
We have repeated issues with one of our ecommerce sites not being crawled. We receive the following message: Our crawler was not able to access the robots.txt file on your site. This often occurs because of a server error from the robots.txt. Although this may have been caused by a temporary outage, we recommend making sure your robots.txt file is accessible and that your network and server are working correctly. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster. Read our troubleshooting guide. Are you aware of an issue with robots.txt on the Shopify servers? It is happening at least twice a month so it is quite an issue.

Sitewide links causing problem
Hello, I've had a couple of people look at the backlink profile for nlpca(dot)com and tell me that there were a lot of sitewide links with non-branded anchor text. The spreadsheet is [here](http://thewealthymind.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/anchor-text.xls). Actually, because of our company name, all sitewide links have branded anchor text except for http://www.iepdoc.nl

http://www.ionut-ciurea.com The term "NLP" is not ranking for us, we should be on page 1 or 2. Also, we used to be sitelinked for "NLP California" and aren't anymore. Notice that "nlpca" splits into "nlp" and "ca" for California. Could you look and see if it is just those 2 sites and if all we need to do is contact them to change to branded anchor text. Or if it's something else to get back our rankings for "NLP" and our sitelinks for "NLP California" Thank you0 -
Discrepancy between followed links. How do you explain this?
My external followed links over time have gone from 346 in late November to 402. Total external links have gone from 400 to 457. Followed linking root domains dropped from 125 to 102 (How do I find out why?). Total Linking Root Domains Over Time dropped from 152 to 126. Linking C-Blocks dropped from 124 to 42. How did I increase my links but drop the other stuff?

How can I submit my sitemap file to SEOmoz? (I mean the same file I send to google and bing, not the sitemap page)
I'm new to SEOmoz. As far as I understand, SEOmoz goes out to my site and crawls it to find all the pages. Is there anyway I can submit my sitemap page to SEOmoz just like I submit it to Google or Bing? Thanks for your help! Fernando

Link from Dr. Oz web site not being seen, what are we doing wrong?
Newbie so this may be SEO 101... Quick back story: My wife Lauri is a Dream Expert who has been on over 5,000 radio shows, TV shows like Good Morning America, the Today show, the View, in major magazines and newspapers, the list goes on and on, I'm not bragging actually the opposite. Lauri barely exists online and to top it off we don't seem to be getting any "link juice" from some big sites that have linked to us. Here is just one example of many: Our site: theDreamZone.com Here is a page on Dr Oz site that links to us, anchor text at top right "Click here": When you use On site Explorer this link isn't there, what are we doing wrong? Our plan is to build a new site (LauriTheDreamExpert.com) and get these links and many others pointing to us correctly so she can get the exposure she's earned. Lauri was also on the Dr Oz TV show : Watch it if you like. Thanks for any wisdom, Mike

Anyone seeing ose csv exports hanging?
None of my reports are completing - even if left to run overnight - anyone else seeing this? There was mention of this in http://www.seomoz.org/q/problems-with-ose-downloads but I get the sense from that thread that the problem was solved back in August.

How come they dont show info to SEOMOZ Should I link out from home page, is this detrimental does ANY single link from home page show google that I am not a PROPER web business. thanks

Can someone explain why I have been seeing an increase in the number of Linking Page URLs in OSE that link directly to downloads?
Ever since the last couple Linkscape updates when doing competitive back link analysis I have noticed a large increase in the number of URLs of Linking Pages in OSE that result in an immediate file download. The majority of the time these downloads are not common files ie PDF, DOC files. For example, these were all in a competitors back link profile: http://download.unesp.br/linux/debian/pool/main/i/isc-dhcp/isc-dhcp-relay-dbg_4.1.1-P1-17_ia64.deb http://snow.fmi.fi/data/20090210_eurasia_sd_025grid.mat http://www.rose-hulman.edu/class/me/HTML/ES204_0708_S/working model examples/Le25 mad hatter.wm?a=p&id=145880&g=5&p=sia&date=iso&o=ajgrep These are just a few I came across for a single competitor. Is this sketchy black hat SEO, some sort of error, actual links, or something else? Any information on this subject would be helpful. Thank you.
