Website data updates
-
Hello All,
I have downloaded some reports for "following" links from SEO Moz and no doubt the report is very comprehensive. However, I know some links listed in the reports does have rel="nofollow" tag attached to it but it is list still shown that they are following links.
Can some please guide be to understand why this has happened. Is it possible that SEO Moz has old data of our site because these changes were recently done (2-3 weeks before)..? OR Have I misunderstood following as dofollow..?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks, moosa.

Hey Moosa,
Thanks for the question. We'd love to check this out for you. Can you do me a favor and email in to help[at]moz.com with a few examples of incorrect data so we can check it out?
Remember the data in OSE does come from the Mozscape index so is not crawled as often as your campaigns would be.
Thanks! I look forward to your email.
Cheers,
Joel. -
Thanks Jesse. yes, this is Open site Explorer Reports..?
I have downloaded another report today but the domains and links are still mentioned in it. There are few domains that I control and I am very sure that they have nofollow tag to every external link but they too are listed in the reports.
I am just trying to understand where the error is.. is it in the reports or the sites.? Why are they considered following even if they have nofollow on them..?
I will appreciate if someone can shade some light on my problem..?

Hmmm.. Well, if they aren't nofollowed then they definitely shouldn't be on your followed-only report. This is in Open Site Explorer?
Try running this report once more.. I usually don't have problems with what you're describing to be honest.

Thanks for the response Jesse.
I assume that any link that does not have nofollow mentioned in their <a>tag are following links and I had mentioned a filter and have downloaded reports only for those links which does not have nofollow tag mentioned.</a>
<a></a>
<a>There are few domains that have only one link to us and when we view the source of that domain we can see that rel="nofollow" is mentioned in</a> <a>tag of our domain. There are many such links mentioned in the report.</a>
<a>Since we know that those domain are clearly not following us then why are they listed in the report.
I hope I was able to explain it better this time.</a>

Are you talking about the data in Open Site Explorer? Because yes, that data is refreshed once a month although the last index was updated yesterday...
Can you clarify what you mean? Sometimes sites will have 3 or 4 links to your page embedded and they will nofollow all but one. In this case you might get reports of both followed and no follow links..
I'm not sure I'm understanding you entirely though.. Sorry

A tool to tell a websites estimated traffic
I am new to Moz (as a member), so I am not sure if Moz has a tool that I need. I don't want this post to be about self promotion, so I will keep it short. Our business helps increase conversions and sales for online businesses. Our ideal prospects belongs to some key categories of businesses like ecommerce, saas etc. However, I would like to know the estimated volume of traffic for a website before approaching them and introducing our service. So if there was a tool I could use to estimate the volume of visitors a specific website receives on average a day or month, it would be hugely beneficial.Obviously, these are prospective clients, so we do not have access to their system or their analytics. I just want to get an estimate. So for example, if I entered the domain abc.com into the system, I would hope it could tell me, that abc.com gets an average of 900 unique visitors a day. I don't need too much detail like geographic locations etc, but it would be a bonus having that additional information. I also don't mind paying for a tool that's quality. So it doesn't have to be free.

Is there a way you can determine the time SEOMoz crawls your website
I'm a new user to SEOMoz Pro, and having created a number of campaigns I wanted to know if you can set / schedule when SEOMoz crawls your website? Ideally I want to prevent SEOMoz from crawling my site at certain times, but I can't seem to find a way of doing this. Thanks in advance.

Quarterly Reports Show Odd Data
I've pulled a quarterly report for a client, and it's showing very odd numbers. I'm monitoring 58 keywords - and the current keyword ranking report from last week says that there are 21 keywords in the top 3 and 33 on the first page. But the quarterly report says that there are 50 in the top 3 and 70 on the first page??? What's up with this?

SEO Yoast data export
Just thought I would give something back. (Is this the right place!) I use Wordpress with the excellent SEO Yoast plugin. I needed a way of extracting the focus keywords that I have entered onto my pages along with the url for use on the SEOmoz On-page Optimisation tool. So I created GetYoastData which outputs to the browser the required data (and a bit more) that can be saved into an csv (Excel) file. Hope you find it useful - Yes it's not polished and yes it might output a blank line now and again but it's fairly useful. http://deanandrews.uk/get-yoast-seo-data/
