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,

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

Can you suggest a good website for a roofing contractor??
I have a roofing contractor friend that wants a new site. There's a lot of choices out there, so to save a little time I'm looking for good suggestions. Ideally one with a good DA, and the ability to make manual edits on the back side. Thanks in advance:)

Why is OSE showing no data for this URL?
Hi all, Does anyone have any ideas as to why OSE might not have any data for this URL: http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/product/shure-slx24-sm58-wireless-microphone-system-j3 It is not a new page at all. It's been on the site for years. Is OSE being quirky? Or is there an underlying problem with this page? Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this, Dana

How often does Organic Traffic Data update?
The latest traffic I see is from week ending 2nd Jan 2011, this seems an overally long time to wait for a traffic update, given that tools such as Raven can provide live stats.

Domain authority decrease after open site explorer update. Reasons?
Hi! I just noticed a decrease on our domain authority and also the page authority of several of our pages on the SeoMoz toolbar. For instance, DA went from 34 to 29. I was scared and confused, so I went to check it on the opensite explorer and saw that it had been updated. I want to ask you guys if the same happened with your metrics or is it just us. Because the strange thing about it is that we have been doing some good optimization work lately and also some linkbuilding, and actually our SERP’s have been improving in general, and some specific ones have been performing great. Our website is http://www.inmonova.com as a reference. Can anyone cast some light into this?
