Website data updates
-
Hello All,
I have downloaded some reports for "following" links from SEO Moz and no doubt the report is very comprehensive. However, I know some links listed in the reports does have rel="nofollow" tag attached to it but it is list still shown that they are following links.
Can some please guide be to understand why this has happened. Is it possible that SEO Moz has old data of our site because these changes were recently done (2-3 weeks before)..? OR Have I misunderstood following as dofollow..?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks, moosa.

Hey Moosa,
Thanks for the question. We'd love to check this out for you. Can you do me a favor and email in to help[at]moz.com with a few examples of incorrect data so we can check it out?
Remember the data in OSE does come from the Mozscape index so is not crawled as often as your campaigns would be.
Thanks! I look forward to your email.
Cheers,
Joel. -
Thanks Jesse. yes, this is Open site Explorer Reports..?
I have downloaded another report today but the domains and links are still mentioned in it. There are few domains that I control and I am very sure that they have nofollow tag to every external link but they too are listed in the reports.
I am just trying to understand where the error is.. is it in the reports or the sites.? Why are they considered following even if they have nofollow on them..?
I will appreciate if someone can shade some light on my problem..?

Hmmm.. Well, if they aren't nofollowed then they definitely shouldn't be on your followed-only report. This is in Open Site Explorer?
Try running this report once more.. I usually don't have problems with what you're describing to be honest.

Thanks for the response Jesse.
I assume that any link that does not have nofollow mentioned in their <a>tag are following links and I had mentioned a filter and have downloaded reports only for those links which does not have nofollow tag mentioned.</a>
<a></a>
<a>There are few domains that have only one link to us and when we view the source of that domain we can see that rel="nofollow" is mentioned in</a> <a>tag of our domain. There are many such links mentioned in the report.</a>
<a>Since we know that those domain are clearly not following us then why are they listed in the report.
I hope I was able to explain it better this time.</a>

Are you talking about the data in Open Site Explorer? Because yes, that data is refreshed once a month although the last index was updated yesterday...
Can you clarify what you mean? Sometimes sites will have 3 or 4 links to your page embedded and they will nofollow all but one. In this case you might get reports of both followed and no follow links..
I'm not sure I'm understanding you entirely though.. Sorry

Non search traffic in a report, user data etc
Are there any plans so we could add more data from Google Analytics to the seomoz reports? At the moment the reports are nice but my clients want to know the bigger picture than just the search traffic. They need to know the total traffic, the bounce rate, pages viewed etc - data in Google Analytics. There are other seo type tools which offer this information when you generate reports and if seomoz were to allow it then it would make life so much easier as I would not need to maintain a subscription here for the cool tools on offer and to offer websites at up to $100 a month just to generate client reports.

How can I change the day my keyword rankings are updated?
I have several campaigns which currently get their weekly keyword ranking reports updated on different days. I'd like all of them updated on the same day, so I can just check in one a week for everything.

Campaign data via API
I am currently in the process of building an in house system for managing our clients SEO campaigns. One of the features that we will be including is a customer login where clients can view their reports and site progress. We plan on providing rankings and traffic stats within this which we will collect on a weekly basis to store historical changes. While I could integrate into analytics for traffic and create my own web crawler for rankings, this seems a waste since I already have that data in one central location. Looking through the moz API details it seems to have lots of functions for links but nothing relating to the campaigns. Is there any way or are there any plans to open up campaign data to an API? If I could do this I would certainly upgrade to allow each client to have their own campaign.

Can someone at the mozplex please update that antiquated directory listing you offer? Most of them are pay to play, reciprocal, or just plain dont exist anymore. Thanks
outdated site directory found here:http://www.seomoz.org/dp/seo-directory not that directories are amazingly useful anymore, but with all the updates and vitriol thrown there way an update is in order. Its one of those "layup" link building tools but in its current state its less of perk and more of a boon. Thanks

GWT data v SEO Moz data
I'm sure there's a simple explanation but I can't find it- Looking through the GWT avg position data v SEOMoz ranking data and Market Samurai data there is a large discrepancy. For one term that we hold #1, and have held for a month or two GWTis showing that the avg position is 180 (and down 30). Any reason you know of why the GWT avg position data would be so out of whack with our SERP's and other data? Thanks.

Forcing an update (revisited)
Really quite disappointed with the response to this thread: http://www.seomoz.org/q/possible-to-force-the-seomoz-ranking-report-to-update Three of us expressed an interest in this but the response was for (only) the original poster to create a ticket and the question was closed to any further discussion. Might I request that SEOMoz folks read the thread? There is a general question and three of us have requested some feedback. It is very clear that more than one person is interested in the answer Just asking one of those individuals to open a ticket and get a response for himself doesn't seem very customer-centric (well, beyond that first customer). I'd really appreciate an open and public discussion as to whether SEOMoz can support updates more than once a week and, if not now, whether it intends to in the future. Thanks. Mark

Site not showing data in Open Site Explorer
I have run open site explorer for a couple of sites but I am getting the "no data available for this URL" message. I have read the reasons listed on the error message but none of these apply to the particular sites I am looking for data from. Any thoughts as to why this might be? Thanks, Kwan
