Tool bar - Analyse page - Link data
-
Hi all,
Need a little help to understand this link information, if you go to our toolbar it show 1.6 million links on 224 root domains. when you analyse the page using the Tool bar.
the link data show the page as having over 3000 internal links but when you go page attributes it shows a more complementary 92 page links
we have a menu to all our pages and I am wondering if this is being registered in its entirety
-
Glad to have helped Gavin, I hope you manage to find those links causing the problems.
Good luck!

Your right the 3,164 change from page to page but only by 30-40 so I think it's an error.
Brilliant ok I'll take a look into the anchor text from the aggressive domains.
Paul your a life saver, I may have some hair left by the end of today, atleast now I know.
And knowing is half the battle

Gavin it could be an error, or it's just talking about your domain as a whole. Either way, the 112 is the number that's most likely correct. I cannot imagine you'd have 3,164 links on a page.
A simple test, would be to view another page. Does the 3,164 figure change? I'd fathon a guess, that it will stay the same.
Find which of the domains are linking to you so aggressively, are they using overly optimised anchor text? It could be that you've been a victim of negative SEO.
Regardless of what some SEO's will tell you, it's negative SEO is very real. Google is NOT smart enough to know whether you paid for the link, or a competitor did.

Ahhhhhh That makes sense. Some one has been farming out our link it seems which is exceptionally annoying. That's going to be fun to fix.
Do you have any ideas what the "Internal Followed Links 3,164" on page means?
According to page attributes I have "Internal Followed Links 112" but The Page Link Data says 3,164... maybe a error on the toolbar?
Your a star Paul

1.6 million links, from 224 root domains, means that some or many of those domains contain links site wide. i.e in their sidebars, footers or even main navigation.
So basically you have 224 websites linking to you, but between those websites, they're sending you 1.6 million links.
This is itself could be a problem, especially if the anchor text for a lot of your links, is over optimised and not very well distributed throughout your pages.
Take a look at the 224 websites linking and figure out which are likely to be causing a problem under Penguin.

Cheers Paul, makes logical thinking but then where does the tool bar get of by saying on the domain authority 224 root domains and 1.6 million links, I dont really undersand it, we have been hit very Hard since the Penguin update, and I am trying to get a true reflection of what google is seeing, opensite explorer says one thing, webmaster tools says another, but no matter where you go to or which data you try and level from the hits are declining monthly.
we are doing good link building, we are bloging daily, creating new content, but still getting hammered. if we had a set of metrics that we could rely on then at least we know how to work the field.
Any thought Paul ?
cheers

Hi Gavin, I assume you're talking about the moz toolbar? I've not used it for a number of years.
However, from what you've said, is it possible that the data in the tool bar i.e 3,000 internal links is looking at the domain as a whole and when you click page attributes, it's figure is relative to the page?

Finding Broken Links
My campaign report says I have a 404 error for a sub page located at domain/products/contact.aspx My contact page is not in the /products directory so what I'm wondering is if this means that somewhere on a site I have a link pointed to /products/contact.aspx. I've looked everywhere and cannot find the link if it is out there somewhere.

How to get the total external links to a page and total external links to the domain using Mozscape API? I could not see an option in the bit flags
Hi, I was trying to get the data for total external links to a page and total external links to the domain using Mozscape API but I can't see a bit flag which can do that. There are bit flags for external followed links to a page and external followed links to a domain but I wanted the total external links data, is there a way to do that using Mozscape API else I would end up copying the data manually from OSE which would be cumbersome and time consuming. Your help is highly appreciated.

Old Incoming Links Redirected to new pages are not Being Factored on the Open Site Explorer
Hi, My website has been online since 1994. We have old links pointing to pages that no longer exist so what we have done is to create redirects to the specific page where the content is being displayed now. However, when we use the Open Site Explorer, the linking root domains do not show those sites that contain old links pointing to our domain. One good example of this one is: dmoz.org. Am I improperly handling the redirects? Or, what do I have to do so that old links that are being redirected to the new pages where the information is are accounted when calculating domain authority and trust? Thanks, Alex

Why did SEOMoz only crawl 1 page?
I have multiple campaigns and on a few of them SEOMoz has only crawled one page. I think this may have to do with how I set up the campaign. How do I get SEOMoz to crawl more than one page on these campaigns.
