Why am I not getting my allowance of 10,000 inbound links in csv download file? 370 out of 4700??
-
Hi,
I'm desparately trying to audit my backlinks to remove a penguin penalty on my site livefit.co.uk
When I do the inbound link report i'm not getting all the links in the download. I know there is a limit of 25 links from each linking site so we get the full picture of links bu:

I have 4700 links so why does it need to limit it when we are supposed to see up to 10,000?
-
When you check the link profile on the report it doesn't seem there are many sites with anything close to 25, so surely that rule is invalid as an explanation here?
Should I just work off OSE? But there is less useful info than on the csv..
I'd be very grateful for your thoughts.
Thanks!

Hi James,
Kyle provided some very good responses. Has your issue been resolved?

The rule of thumb is to try and keep below 100 links per page as well as trying to limit the amount of site wide links.
Check out the crawl section in the pro campaign - they have a warning if you have to many on-page links. That would be a great starting place to check.

Thanks Kyle. I was already looking at the root domain. But your response triggered me to check external vs. internal and I found that the 370 links in the csv were my external AND the other 4300 were internal... is having that many internal links ok? The site has 92 indexed pages according to GWMT..
Thanks for your help

This has happened to me in the past, make sure when you are setting your filter you have everything set correctly to get your full link profile. Make sure you have the inbound links tab selected and your filter is set like this:
Show "all" links from "only external" pages to "pages on this root domain" and "show links ungrouped".
The biggest issue is making sure you have it set to root domain, if not you will only be pulling the backlink profile to your homepage. Let me know if that did the trick, if not i would submit a help ticket to help@semoz.org. They are normally really responsive!

Joomla Opencart Duplicate Link Issue
With a few recent catalog changes my client is having tons of duplicate content issues. The most peculiar is one that I cannot see visibly on the site pages. This page: http://www.CLIENTDOMAIN.com/catalog/lights.html shows to have several duplicate content issues with URLs such as: http://www.CLIENTDOMAIN.com/catalog/lights/Lamp-DRW.htmlhttp:/www.CLIENTDOMAIN.com - where the domain is basically added to the end of the first URL. Has anyone seen this? Any fixes, plugins or thoughts? Thanks,

Why is Link Count smaller than Internal Links in Crawl Test report?
We recently ran the crawl test report and for most of our pages we are getting 1150 internal links but 40-50 as the link count. Why is there such a big disparity?

Getting my top keywords separated out in SEOmoz reports
I am using the standard functionality to produce weekly Moz reports. There does not seem to be a setting to show rankings of my most important keywords. It would be nice to have those high-level keywords on the first page. For example, I have 200 keywords in an account. I want the report to show on a page my 10 most important keywords. Is there a way to set up a Label to my keywords in order to product a report page just for those keywords?

Broken CSV files?
Hi, I have been downloading fiels from seoMOZ for quite a while and I keep getting broken CSV files. ON my Mac, I wrote a script that cleaned them out but I cannot (don't know how) do this on the Windows side. The problem is that some of the record lines get broken up mainly in the "Anchor Text" field (maybe the anchor text in question contained a return). This of course messes up my file when I open it in Excel. Is there a way get/open these files without having them messed up like this? P..S. I am also seeing problem with text encoding, I would like to see the anchor text that is being diaplayed on the referring site rather than its HTML/Unicode/UTF-8 code value. TIA, Michel

Linking Building: Do I have to beat Linking Root Domains or Total Links?
Hello, When skoping for how to beat competitors, do I need to aim to beat the linking root domains number or the total links? Or do I need to think about both? Thanks!

Sometimes we could not download all the data of inbound links from all linking domains
Sometimes we could not download all the data of inbound links from all linking domains. (Around tithe.) Don't you have any idea?

Quantity of Internal Followed Links
We compared our and competitor pages. And we have got next statistics: Internal Followed Links: 184 4,496 We are thinking about changing our shopping cart links format from /product_info.php?products_id=3547 to /product_name.html This should increase "number of our pages" and "number of links" from them.

But in case a description of products from the same category often is very similar. We worry about duplicating page content. Could you give any advice in that situation? Do Internal Links play a big role in page rank? Thanks. PS: at attached image you can find full page metrics from open site explorer. Our metrics are at left, competitors - right. BtTap.jpg0 -
In OpenSiteExplorer - how do I find out which in bound links were lost?
http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/www.homefinder.com/a!links The # of inbound root domains is ~3,100 and has remained relatively flat for a while yet we've been acquiring 1000's of new root domains that link to us. That said, we want to get some clarity on why the count has remained flat. It would be helpful if we could see which domains have stopped linking to us from one OSE index to the next. Is it really the case that we're losing links as fast as we're gaining them or is something else going on?
