MOZ Bar recognizes a link as No-Followed even when there's no evidence of nofollow nor external tag
-
Hi!
I've seen that the Moz bar recognizes some links as NoFollowed, even when technically are followed.
One example of that is this page:https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonTraining
I've attached an image to clarify.
The link is just: <a class="https" <span="">href="https://rmotr.com"> there is no evidence of no following tag (such as external, nofollow, etc).Thanks!

Ha! I've never imagined that.
Thanks for the reply! -
Hi Gaston! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.
I had a chance to peek at this site and it looks like the entire page is tagged as "no follow" which is why MozBar would be reporting all the links on the page as such, as well. Here's a screenshot of where in the MozBar we were able to confirm this: http://screencast.com/t/5L0w6AQl
As always, you can reach out to our team with any question of this type in the future by shooting us an email at help@moz.com!
I hope this helps, but certainly let me know if there's anything else I'm able to assist with.
Thank you,
-Kristina

Is Moz's rank checker driving referals (and bounces) in my analytics?
I see 200+ referral visits per month from "rank-checker.online" and they all bounce with one second session durations. Are these bounces hurting my SEO? They are definitely distorting my referral metrics. Can I block them somehow?

Suggestion - Should OSE include "citation links" within its index?
This is really a suggestion (and debate to see if people agree with me), with regard to including "citation links" within Moz tools, by default, as just another type of link NOTE: when I am talking about "citation links" I am talking about a link that is not wrapped in a link tag and is therefore non clickable, eg moz.com Obviously Moz have released the mentions tool, which is great, and also FWE which is also great. However, it would seem to me that they are missing a trick in that "citation links" don't feature in the main link index at all. We know that Google as a minimum uses them as an indicator to crawl a page ( http://ignitevisibility.com/google-confirms-url-citations-can-help-pages-get-indexed/ ), and also that they don't pass page rank - HOWEVER, you would assume that google does use then as part of their alogrithm in some manner as they do nofollow links. It would seem to me that a "Citation Link" could (possibly) be deemed more important than a no follow link in Googles alogrithm, as a "no follow" link is a clear indication by the site owner that they don't fully trust the link, but a citation link would neither indicate trust or non trust. So - my request is to get "citation links" into the main link index (and the Just Discovered index for that matter). Would others agree??

Will the MOZ API display
will the MOZ API display rank, social and page data So I can create my own dashboard? We are looking to head off the 100% not provided and need to add to our reporting program. I was hoping the MOZ API would allow us to integrate the page views per url with ranking data that the campaigns provide. We are also interested in adding the social metrics for twitter and facebook to our client facing portal. any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
