Inbound link cleanup and management
-
Hey guys this is my first time asking a question here but I have been lurking for a while now and have learned a lot here. I have to come up with a plan to go through, analyze, and clean up the existing backlinks for 37 root domains. That to me makes manually looking through the stack one at a time impossible. Obviously there are some great tools and I currently have Moz tools and Raven available to me but am open to acquire something different as well if it makes sense. My questions are:
1. Do I need to worry about nofollow links at all? Should I just separate them out right off the top and be done with that?
2. What ways have you all accomplished this task? Are there any time sucking pitfalls to avoid? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance this site truly has been a blessing to me!

Link Research Tools is awesome. It can be a little expensive but it is worth every penny.

Personally I wouldn't be worrying about those links. I just meant wholesale links from no doubt spammed domains that are disproportionate to your whole profile. I would just continue building good links to the site.

I have one site with 4224 links from yellow pages which are all no follow. The domain only has 7219 links total. Do I do anything with that? From what I can tell they are not helping me from a ranking / authority perspective but are they hurting me? What you are saying makes sense to me about being well rounded. 58% of the total links being not follow from one site doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Any thoughts?

I would say in general you could forget about no-follow. However, and some may disagree with me, I look at those no-follow and if they are screaming dire spam, have a dubious nature and there is volume I treat them just the same as any other link. Google wants to see a rounded link profile so there will be a bunch of no-follow links in there. If those links are bad i'd want to let Google know that they are nothing to do with me. If there is a very small proportion of poor no-follow links then that is probably ok as again that is probably quite natural.

Wow that sounds awesome I will definitely be checking that out! Thank you very much!

Check out cognitiveseo.com. They take all the link metrics from Moz, ahrefs, and majestic (so saves you having to subscribe to each separately to be certain you get all the links) and also allow you to import your webmaster tools data. They have a tool that allows you to classify links and advise on what are bad links. As with any automated tool you need to manually check through it all.
Once you have the list, they will even build the disavow file for you.
When I was under a negative SEO attack, it is what I used for 3 or 4 months whilst I managed the disavow process.

Inbound Link Tool?
I signed up for SEOMOZ so that I could get a conclusive list of links for my competition. I hope I can get this information with this tool. Can I? And where can I find the tool? P.S. I don't need my own inbound links; I can get these with google webmaster tools.

My competitive link analysis hasn't been updated in nearly 2 months, why?
Anyone else having this problem? My last update was 2/28 and I'm not sure why it hasn't updated since then. Went through all of the documentation to no avail.

Is canonical link enough?
Hi SEOmozers! I have a question. SEOmoz analysis report me some duplicate that I thought I had fix. I can give a concrete example. This page: http://www.nuxeo.com/en/about/events/dec2011training-boston/moreinfo is reported as having 6 duplicated URL in the tool. When I click on 6, SEOMOZ tells me "Our crawl bots are getting their joints greased to fetch you even better data. Sorry for the delay!" And on the page itself, I placed a canonical link to follow recommandation. rel="canonical" href="http://www.nuxeo.com/en/about/events/apr2012training-boston" /> As a result I am curious why I would have this reported as duplicate by SEOmoz. Is this a bug? Thanks for feedback!

Several DA 70+ websites linked to me, not showing in OSE
Like the title says, about 3 weeks ago several websites linked to me. Those websites have very high and probably 100% of this board has heard of them. I'm wondering how long it takes for OSE to recognize these links, and if my website's DA and mozTrust will increase as a result?

How do I find the most linked to page of a site?
I'm looking at a site for a potential link and am trying to find the most linked to page. The SEOmoz toolbar tells me the root domain (DA) is linked to by 660 root domains but the main URL (PA) is linked to by 38 root domains. I used open site explorer and got the same # of 38 root domains in the result. From the Top Pages tab, I clicked on the 2nd page down and the SEOmoz toolbar gives me 189 root domains linking to that page (PA). Then I ran a Linkscape report to see what that would say and I get 146 linking root domains. 1. Is this 2nd page down on OSE the most linked to page? 2. a. Is something off in these numbers?

b. How come OSE/Linkscape doesn't report the 660 root domains in the DA?0
