Follow tag is showing no follow in site explorer
-
I have a link which is showing tag as a follow but in Moz site explorer is showing no follow link
here is the link - https://www.techtimes.com/articles/237876/20190125/top-5-best-instant-messenger-businesses-2019.htm
Could anyone here tell why this is happening

Hi Tvisha.
Interesting question and very weird all round, hopefully Eli and the team can get to the bottom of it.
Few observations from me (Troop Messenger):
- I agree, my Link Explorer also has it marked as no-follow. Curiously using the Moz Toolbar, the highlight follow link doesn't work for me. Neither does highlight no-follow links. Only one which works is the external link
- Inspecting the line of code rel="follow" isn't actually a valid property as far as I'm aware: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/96569?hl=en Perhaps this could be confusing Roger?
Quite far-fetched but the only wild theory I have. Or perhaps it was no-followed when Moz originally crawled it and the links have since changed.
Hope you get to the bottom of if, it's a weird anomaly!

Why would a site (competitor) show up in Keyword SERPs Analysis but not show up in Rank Tracker for the same keyword?
I used Rank Tracker to evaluate a specific site for "geofencing software" - the result was "not in the top 50." However, if I go to Keyword SERP analysis and put in the same keyword "geofencing software," it shows the specific site within the first page results in SERP. I verified the ranking with a google search of my own and the site does show in the first page results. Why is Rank Tracker not matching Keyword SERP results?

No link to Open Site Explorer from Campaigns tracked keywords?
Hi there, The Guide to tracking your keyword rankings in Moz Pro states that "Click on the keyword to analyze it, the URL to be taken to that page in Open Site Explorer or the Optimize link to get a Page Optimization Score with recommendations.". But my URLs all target to the specific page on my site. I figure it would be nice to dive deeper in analysing specific pages, using Open Site Explorer Is just the link with Open Site Explorer broken, or is the Guide out of date? Thanks, Arnout

Low Internal Equity-Passing Links: Open Ste Explorer Issue
Does anyone know why Open Site Explorer shows so few Internal Equity Passing Links? When a page is part of the main navigation of a website and the website has over 3500 pages indexed in Google with high DA's why would the Open Site Explorer number be so low? I have run scans on other tools and see a much larger number than OSE reports. Thoughts? Has anyone else ever experienced that?

What happened to my links in Open Site Explorer.
Hello, A while ago I had a problem with open site explorer saying that I had a problems with redirects on my home page. There was 302 redirect and it was giving me information from my www domain rather then from non www domain. With your awesome help, this issue is sorted now and when I type in my non www domain, it doesn't give me that weird message anymore. I have a different issue now. For some reason when I enter non www domain it doesn't show links from www version. I presume that this is affecting my site authority for non www version. Does it mean that link juice was not passed on to non www version from www version? Authority dropped by two points, but I'm not sure why. I'm more interested to know why it doesn't show my links from www version on non www version. And is that affecting my sites rankings. Thank you, Regards, Armands

Why is Open Site Explorer Showing me Spammy Links That I Already Removed?
Every two months or so, I like to download the OSE list of all the backlinks passing equity to my site. I do this so I can see which spammy links I need to try and remove. However, I see that OSE is still showing me links that I already removed...Either A) the page that is being linked to is 404-ed B) the spammy website that was linking doesn't exist anymore or C) the spammy site still exists, but the link is GONE. Why is OSE still spidering these sites and links? Does that mean Google is still spidering these links? Should I disavow them to be safe? Thank you! P.S We are not experiencing any drastic drops in traffic or penalties at the moment.

Sites internal links are not showing as inbound links
My sites internal links are not showing as inbound links while my competitor site’s internal links are showing as their inbound links (In OSE). Is my site’s inter-linking weak? Or there could be other reasons.

Open Site Explorer
Confused by the results displayed in Open Site Explorer. Want to know the Total Links into a site. As such typed in the site address and received the result 28 Total Links from 1 Root Domain. Filter Set to This Page. Therefore, changed the filter to **Pages on This Root Domain. **All other filters set to All (i.e. internal and external links). I would assume this should give me ALL LINKS coming into all pages. I received results of 79 Total Links from 28 root domains. Raven and other tools advise a Total number of links in excess of 2,000. External Backlinks 200+. I have experienced this problem on a number of sites over the past month, in what way am I interpreting the data incorrectly? Why is there such disparity? Please advise. Kind regards
