Inbound links
-
Hi all,
I was working on some monthly SEO reports and I noticed that the number of inbound links was a lot less compared to last month. I measured these number of inbound links with the mozBar, e.g.
May 2011 - 49.306, June 2011 - 10.659, July 2011 - 1.010
Do you have any idea how this could be possible? I'm really looking forward to your answers!
Thanks all!

Sorry to be so late to jump in here. If you're still having odd numbers, email help@seomoz.org and they'll be able to look at your account and give you a better answer about what is happening. Thanks!

Ok, but a 'slightly change' is not the explanation for the numbers above, I guess.Is it possible that there's another reason for this?
-
How often are the numbers updated on opensitexplorer ???
-
Rand mentioned here - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/brand-new-open-site-explorer-is-here - that the link numbers may change. They've slightly changed the way they crawl sites it says.

No link data for my domains + still no adwords data
All 3 sites In my campaign have no link data analysis done. 5 to 6 months after you said you were working on it Adwords data is still not available in Keyword analysis Partial service is understandable for a few days but not for months. Beyond the nice screens, what data & services do you exactly provide and what are we paying for?

Percentage of good links vs. bad
Hi Does anyone know the best way of determining good links from bad links using the SEO Moz tools? I bought some directory links to two or three pages on my site a few years back. The were all very obviously spammy because of the anchor text and I didn't have a high enough ratio of good links to counteract them. I read somewhere that if more than 10% of the links to a page have the same (or similar) anchor text, it's obvious that you're on the bad list.

How to Link build for our site
Hello, A client of mine has a site that gives advice to people. It's moderately competitive. It's a content site. Using Open Site explorer, I looked up competitor's top pages and backlinks, and there were things such as sites that were heavy on directories, sites heavily on editorial mension, sites on juicy topics that I don't want to cover, and the rest was pretty much junk. Just so that you know, I only link build with quality websites that look strong, long term, have a nice design, are high quality, and are not a directory (with a few exceptions) What's the standard way to link build with a site like this? We've got 7 articles of good content that is from me spending hours learning about the subject and using my skills as a life coach. Right now I'm just adding quality content and social media. I am not a top expert in the field, but I'm learning as much as possible. How do we link build?

Reg. internal followed links
Our site is new. So far we have a 534 pages. Our competitors have around 5000. I'm working on building more, but that's a lot of catching up. The report says we have only 174 internal followed links. Why is that? I have all links set in the site to be nofollow links, but not the inside links. I also have lots of landing pages, which are not added to the main menu, obviously. But the the main menu shows up on all landing pages. Just wondering if either the nofollow has anything to do with it or the landing pages set up, or the numbers are accurate. Any ideas? Thanks!

Competitive link finder not working
Hi guys, I just wanted to check the status of the Competitive Link Finder. I've been trying to use it for well over a week, literally trying it every day and every single time I get the "we may be a little busy" message. Are there any plans to upgrade it? I realise its a labs tool, but its actually a really useful tool which I just don't seem to be able to benefit from whatsoever. Would love to hear what the plans for this tool are. Thanks Al
