Inbound Links Report Problem
-
While looking over my competitors inbound link report, they have a reported 5K inbound links.
The first 20 listed inbound domains are things like UPS, and other sites that when I look at them, and the source file has no link to their domain at all???
So are they using some kind of Black Hat technique, or is SEOMoz not reporting properly?
Help please.

Hi Wes.
Nick is right. Two steps for you to take:
1. Send an e-mail to help@seomoz.org and share the specific example
2. Check the site again on Wednesday. An OSE update is expected at some point on Tuesday and you should notice link changes for your sites by Wednesday.

Hi
I have seen this kind of thing before with strange files that don't make any sense from UPS and .gov sites and there was a discussion about it last week here: http://www.seomoz.org/q/weird-behaviour
In short, it was a glitch, but you may want to get in touch with SEOMoz support and let them know. I do think there are some odd ways of getting links have something to do with UPS and some Gov sites, but the explanation in the link above made me think it really was just a glitch.

Rogerbot did not crawl my site ! What might be the problem?
When I saw the new crawl for my site I wondered why there are no errors, no warning and 0 notices anymore. Then I saw that only 1 page was crawled. There are no Error Messages or webmasters Tools also did not report anything about crawling problems. What might be the problem? thanks for any tips!

SEOMoz Link Analysis Not Updating?
Hi there, I am wondering why the Link Analysis in SEOMoz takes so long to recognise new back-links. I have had the same figures showing for months when I know that I have added a lot more backlinks that are showing in my Google WebMaster account and I have also proven exist by searching directly in Google's search engine. How often does the Link Analysis section update itself? Are these figures worth following at all or are they useless? Thanks!
