site command responses seem to yield conflicting results to "site:specific url". You are likely going through a transition period on a recently indexed url, so hold tight.

RE: Google Webspam Algo Update 24/4/12posted in Industry News
"Something to note is that the problem could fix itself. Out of that 3-5% of the queries impacted, some sites are gonna get hit incidentally. Google seems to be decent at spotting these over time and fixing it. Sometimes people get the short end of the stick though."
Thats a very good point. We have often notice websites take a hit after an algo date, only to come back a few days or weeks later.
One thing is sure- this seems to have affected quite a lot of sites. The site we have seen drop has a very natural link profile and no "over optimisation" in terms of keyword stuffing etc.
There seems to be alot of poor websites that have benefited, as mentioned- blank sites now ranking #1 on google! Lets hope we some further tweaks in the near future as currently it seems that there have been a lot of "incidental" hits!

Google Webspam Algo Update 24/4/12posted in Industry News
Having just checked our clients rankings 95% have not been affected, in fact many have moved up rankings. 1 or 2 have had big drops
Who has been effected by this? The forums are full of people talking about sites being floored from the serp's.
it will be interesting to follow the aftermath of this and get some insight into what exactly has changed!

RE: Old Incoming Links Redirected to new pages are not Being Factored on the Open Site Explorerposted in Moz Pro
Hi Alex,
The fact that the links dont show in open explorer is nothing to worry about. For years using the link: command in search engines has not shown links pointing to pages that are being redirected, I assume its the same with this tool.
You can use a tool like this: http://www.internetofficer.com/seo-tool/redirect-check/ to check whether your 301's are set up correctly. If they are, then any link weight that would be passed, will be.

RE: Nofollow on site-wide banner linksposted in On-Page Optimization
As Phillip B states- there is no need to add nofollow. Are you worried that Google will see the banners as paid links?
Banner advertising is very common on the net, and does not cause penalties, so you need not worry. The fact that the banners are on your own domain (which i guess is on either a sub domain, directory or similar domain) means you are perfectly safe.
If you were paying for a site wide link, e.g footer, on a non related site then it may be a different case.
You may want to add your keyword as the image alt tag- SE's will see this as anchor text and imo this is almost as strong as a text anchor link
