External links incorrect
-
Hello, My 'air intelligence' campaign is indicating my site has no external links, but I know from Google analytics that there is over a 1000 links.
How long should I expect SEOmoz to take to discover all the links.
Regards

I have also seen the Moz system need time to find links after I added a new site to a campaign recently however also be aware that as vast as SEOmoz's data set is, it's not the entire web.
And in reality, no single link reporting solution in existence currently (even Google's) is going to show you all of the links that might be pointing to your site.

Hi Patricia,
OSE (Open Site Explorer) usually updates once a month, meaning it's always a little bit behind - it also suffered a problem with the index a little while ago (which is now resolved I think), but you should start seeing links in OSE within a month or two.
Hope that helps!

Manual Links Vs. Smart Links
Hey Everybody, Is there any downside to the smart link plugins that I see all over wordpress? Basically in short I enter a keyword and where I want that link to go (primarily internal) and set the parameters of repetition etc and it automatically adds the link to that. Now other than the obvious situation where it might put a link in an awkward place, is there anything wrong with this sort of software? Part of me things that this sort of software would not be liked by Google, and that it isn't really getting counted as a true link, but i wanted to see if there were other thoughts or experience with this.

Old links
I am looking to remove some old directory links that now look spammy. Some years ago the site was redesigned. The links are all to the old pages url, which is 301 redirected to the new. If we remove the 301 and let the page 404, will that suffice in Googles eyes?

Penguin Recover: Remove links vs Burry Links
The best is to do both. However with those with limited resources, would building more links with branded and naked URL anchor links be a better solution than painstakingly asking every webmaster to remove links.

Internal Linking - 100 plus links
Hi Everyone, I have a question of how the on-page links are being counted. Say you have a page with a warning of having too many on page links (100+). How are all of these links counted? Let's say there are only 5 links on that page. Do the links on each of those pages count too and so on and so forth? I just want to make sure I have wrapped my head around this correctly. Thanks!
