Haver ever seen opensiteexplorer be way off?
-
What is the deal with this:
http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.selfstoragestartup.com
Based on the links it is showing, there is no way in hell that it should have a domain authority that high. What am i missing here? There is practically nothing on this site, and hardly any backlinks, yet OSE thinks it has a huge PA and DA!?

Turns out i was wrong. Take a look at this.
Some sort of russian spam has created 1000s of backlinks for this site to the non-www pages. The weirdest part is when you visit those pages, they are forums, full of literally thousands of seo type spam posts full of links. And it gets even weirder. If you google translate those pages, the links to this site are using anchor text that is seemingly irrelevent. Like "buy barbie dolls online" or "best chicken noodle soup". WTF?!
Why would anyone linkbuild like that? is there actually a benefit to having obscure anchor text pointing at your root domain?
This is beyond bizarre.

It's probably best to send an email to help@seomoz.org and ask the help desk specifically about this. They all know more about how it works than we do here in Q&A, and they can also reprimand Roger if he made any mistakes in this latest crawl.

seems something may have gone wrong, its showing 2200 root linking domains in the toolbar which is probably where the high da comes from.

Link from Dr. Oz web site not being seen, what are we doing wrong?
Newbie so this may be SEO 101... Quick back story: My wife Lauri is a Dream Expert who has been on over 5,000 radio shows, TV shows like Good Morning America, the Today show, the View, in major magazines and newspapers, the list goes on and on, I'm not bragging actually the opposite. Lauri barely exists online and to top it off we don't seem to be getting any "link juice" from some big sites that have linked to us. Here is just one example of many: Our site: theDreamZone.com Here is a page on Dr Oz site that links to us, anchor text at top right "Click here": When you use On site Explorer this link isn't there, what are we doing wrong? Our plan is to build a new site (LauriTheDreamExpert.com) and get these links and many others pointing to us correctly so she can get the exposure she's earned. Lauri was also on the Dr Oz TV show : Watch it if you like. Thanks for any wisdom, Mike

What is the best way to analyze all of the outgoing links from a website to determine which links are not beneficial?
I've recently been tasked with the SEO on an old site that was ranking somewhere on page two for desirable keyword phrases. The site was taken completely offline for a few months and started ranking on page one for the same desirable keyword phrases. The site has a lot of link partners and I think that some of the links from the site are going to undesirable pages and I'm looking for the best way to get rid of the links that are hurting the sites rankings.
