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?

Is there a tool on Moz or out on the internet that does bad link checker
I'm still pretty new to this and I was wondering if there is a free software, one of Moz or free out on the the internet that allows you to check bad links. I've done a lot of link building with citations and directories that for my clients industry. I just don't want to add their website and profile to a bad/risky directory and it penalizes my clients. I've seen a few out there, but I need one that is respectable and reliable. Any suggestions? I found one called bad neighborhood http://www.bad-neighborhood.com/text-link-tool.htm. Thanks Again, Benny

How can competition outrank you if your site has better Domain/Page Authority, More links, and More Social sharing?
Say you have a site that has better Domain/page authority, more links, more social media sharing, and a lot more indexed pages (thanks to blogging) than the competition. Of course all of these metrics are based off of data from SEOMoz open site explorer tool which I am not sure if it produces accurate data. 1. Other than exact match domains or the age of a domain what would be other reasons why competition would outrank you? 2. Can anyone suggest other ways to help increase a sites domain/page authority besides creating more indexed pages, link building, etc..?

Open site explorer - Analysing competitors links
When using open site explorer to analyse my competitors links, when going through them, I would click them to have a look at them. Almost all of the ones I clicked on something started to download on my computer and would be a blank page or the tab would disappear when the download begun. What is this? Why have they done this? Is this bad practice? Thanks

Why does new Keywrod tool show incorrect domain linking to root domain count?
Why does new Keywrod tool show incorrect domain linking to root domain count? Why does the "Root Domain Linking Root Domains" column show "4,764" for Homefinder.com/IL/Chicago yet when I run OpenSiteExplorer for homefinder.com it shows "2,963" Linking root domains. Why are these two numbers different?
