Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Oh, I agree, it does correlate with higher rankings. But I'd really rather clients not try to track their DA month to month to measure results achieved.

Re #1 it seems that filter does reduce the number that show up, but doesn't remove them completely.

Re #2, the linking domains tool doesn't have the option to only show follow links (that I saw?) so I think that makes it less helpful.

It amazes me how many people/clients want to track DA as a KPI for their SEO efforts.

Hi Rand,

Super excited to see this. The big jump in data and freshness will make Moz competitive in the link research space again! As a Moz fan (this account is new, but I've been a user since forever), that makes me happy!

My main gripe so far is the reports are noisy. A couple items I noticed:

1. I'm seeing a lot of noise like URL shorteners, The Globe network of link sites, etc. It'd be great to have a filter (on by default) to filter this stuff out when sifting through backlinks. I know there's a filter to only show one, but I'm not sure why they would show up at all - they are not links, they are redirects. So I'd rather see the page that's linking to the bitly link.
2. Also need a filter to only show a couple links per domain. Again, too much noise when a sitewide links shows up dozens of times.

Thanks!
