Moz & Other Sites Not Showing in Link Profile?
-
I'm curious to know why Moz, YouTube, G+ and some other links are not showing the OSE link profile as NOFOLLOW or DOFOLLOW for our website whiteboardcreations.com? When doing analysis, we see a lot of companies YouTube pages with their NF link and G+ page links and even see a lot of the Moz community members with their Profile pages showing the NF link or the DF links.
I'm confused as to why OSE is not picking up any of our links from those respective sites. Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance. - Patrick

That is great to hear, Keri! You are right. They are showing for Google, so ultimately, that is what is important

It could be some of each. I know it's frustrating when you don't see those links that you know are there, but the good news is that Google does see them. The good news is that we're getting indexes out there faster than we ever did before, so it's every 1-2 weeks these days instead of 4-6 weeks.

Keri, I was able to check GWT and yes, my Moz and YouTube links are showing as being indexed. I appreciate you providing that tip.
Since Moz has it's own PA/DA algo, is not having my Moz and YouTube links a part of our link profile putting us at a disadvantage in regards to those figures/statistics to potentially help our PA/DA? Or let me know if this is just a "timing" thing whereby Moz hasn't crawled all the pages and found our links? Thanks. Sorry for being a pain. - Patrick

The important metrics is actually do the search engines see the link. Whether or not we see the link doesn't help your ranking. It could be that those pages with the links just have low PA and don't have much linking to them, so they don't get crawled. I'd look in Google and Bing Webmaster Tools and see if the links display there.

Thanks for the follow up, Keri. I am a Pro Member with 300+ points, so I know my DF link began appearing over a month ago, but doesn't show in our link profile. I see some other members who have less than 200 and shows their NF link. It's odd as we never saw our NF link either from Moz.
Per the G+ and YouTube, I ask about this because when viewing our competitors and our clients competitors, we do see OSE index YouTube pages with their NF links, but again, our YouTube page is not indexed. I don't think I have seen any G+ links yet, though or Twitter, so not too concerned with those as I understand your budget constraints. Could something be hindering that?
I hope that is a little more helpful since I am a Moz Pro 300+ point member so a DF link should appear in the link profile and we do have a YouTube page with a link to our site, which should also appear in the link analysis? I guess, I curious to know if because they are not showing in OSE, is our DA/PA adversely affected?
Thanks again for your reply and let me know what you think. - Patrick

If the question is about the link not showing up at all, it's because we don't quite have the same budget for servers as Google and Bing have, and we don't crawl as many URLs as they do. We could crawl YouTube, G+ and Twitter extensively..or we could try to crawl the rest of the web, but not both.
Or is your question that we are not showing correctly whether a link has a nofollow attribute?
For Moz community members, people with over 200 Mozpoints get one followed link, and the rest have a nofollow. For those with fewer than 200 Mozpoints, all of their outgoing links are nofollowed.

WP Events Calendar Creates URLs Too Long in Site Crawler
My travel/tourism site is on WP and using an Events plugin that ads a calendar of events to many pages. The MOZ crawler is indexing almost 46K links with a URL too long, but the site only has about 3.8K pages indexed in Google. I can tell MOZ is indexing the same pages over and over again but just adding a random calendar month and year. Here are some examples. https://www.visitcurrituck.com/four-day-stay/?full=1&long_events=1&country[0]=US&ajaxCalendar=1&mo=10&yr=2003 https://www.visitcurrituck.com/four-day-stay/?full=1&long_events=1&country%5B0%5D=US&ajaxCalendar=1&mo=10&yr=2034 https://www.visitcurrituck.com/beach-houses-family-time/?full=1&long_events=1&country%5B0%5D=US&ajaxCalendar=1&mo=1&yr=1873 Any advice on how to prevent MOZ from indexing this way? I don't believe that Google is seeing this also, but maybe they are. I just know my site has over 63K issues and I'm sure at least 75% or more is because of the way they are picking up on the events calendar. Thanks!

Domain Authority (DA) in Moz Pro changed only within the last 1-2 months?
Has anyone noticed that the Domain Authority (DA) as reported in Moz Pro has changed only within the last 1-2 months? We have screen shots showing plots of DA vs competitors w/ line graph 2 months ago starting in NOV 2017 which today starting JAN 2018 and comparing shows DA up to 50% different!
Link Explorer | | Amplitude_Digital
The change is seen both in the Links Overview and under the Spam Score sections still marked "NEW". Can Moz confirm that it's only recently within the last 2 months that in Moz Pro the NEW DA numbers have retroactively been updated even though the new Link Explorer has been publicly out since APR 30 from https://moz.com/community/q/moz-s-new-link-explorer-including-our-revamped-index-and-da-pa-scores-is-now-open-to-everyone? Look at the top green line starting ~12 months ago on both graphs, w/ old below 40 and new above 50. We've seen even greater differences for other tracked domains. Thanks! view0 -
How can I get links indexed in Just Discovered Links, or Open site Explorer? (Because it aint Bit.ly or Feedly!)
Dear Moz & Forum, I've been on a bit of a merry-go-round with one of my clients. He knows enough about SEO to ask questions, and one thing he likes is to see the links that we are building inside Open Site Explorer. Now, of course we know that it takes a while for links to show, but that was ok, because we could just plug the links that we've built into a bit.ly link and then they'd show under Just Discovered Links in Open Site Explorer, and then boom, we're happy. It stopped working some time ago, and after the support team were a little unstuck I sent a hopeful tweet to @randfish. Here is the response: https://twitter.com/randfish/status/788412272129347584 The advice to use Bit.Ly was removed swiftly after this! Oops! The current Guidance is here: https://moz.com/help/guides/research-tools/open-site-explorer/justdiscovered It says: Want to see your new link in the Just-Discovered Links tab? An easy way to start seeing your link in the Just-Discovered section is to have it shared on Twitter and available on Feedly link. Feedly stopped supporting their own link shortner a few years ago. Also, when you share a link from Feedly on twitter it is just the same as sharing a normal tweet, because it shares the standard URL for the site not a link to view on Feedly. Or, maybe these two statements are independant of one another and they should both be done separately? I've done that too! I've also added the feed to recommended feeds inside fresh web explorer and that didn't work either! So, Moz and Help team please help me! How can I get links I've built for clients into Just Discovered Links? Thank you!

Why does the number of the total external links and the followed linking root domains between Open site explorer and the campaign in Moz pro doesn't match?
Opensiteexplorer returns 52.473 total external links and 715 followed linking root domains while my campaign in Moz analytics return 35.899 total external links and 1092 followed linking root domains. Does anyone knows how this is possible?
