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
