Lost many links and keyword ranks since moz index update
-
Hi All,
I came back from work today from a week off to find my site has gone from 681 external inbound links to 202. With this my domain authority, moz trust and moz rank have all also taken a slip. Compounding this, I am seeing a slip most of my keywords rankings. If i try to use the open site explorer to explore my links and see what going on i get the message
It looks like we haven't discovered link data for this site or URL.
If i check the just discovered links like it suggests I get
It looks like there's no Just-Discovered Links data for this URL yet.
I know these features worked before the index as i used them. Is this all attributable to the moz index issues that have been noted or could something have happened to my site?
Since i started 2 months ago I have made many changes including...
- Updating the site map that was 4 years out of date and included 400 broken urls
- Removed blank pages and other useless webpages on the site that contained no content (from the previous administrator)
- Edited a few pages content from keyword spammy stuff to nicely written and relevant content
- Fixed url rewrites that made loops and un-accessible product pages
All these changes should be for the better but the latest readings have me a little worried.
Thanks.

I too am seeing lost links. Also none of my new links are appearing since the last index, although I see them on Google WMT and Majestic.

MOZ Bar recognizes a link as No-Followed even when there's no evidence of nofollow nor external tag
Hi! I've seen that the Moz bar recognizes some links as NoFollowed, even when technically are followed.
API | | Gaston Riera
One example of that is this page: https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonTraining I've attached an image to clarify.
The link is just: <a class="https" <span="">href="https://rmotr.com"> there is no evidence of no following tag (such as external, nofollow, etc). Thanks!
