Adding Disavowed Domains to Open Site Explorer?
-
Hi,
Is there a way to add to the OSE a list of disavowed domains?
Also, how often is it refreshed?
I know that the GWMT shows us links on sites that are down for months now.Thanks

Thanks for the assistance with a workaround Marie! This sounds like it'd be something good to write up for our feature request forum at https://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-SEOmoz-PRO-Feature-Requests, too.

Thanks Marie and Tom,
Marie, this is what I meant. Now that people are disavowing more and more domains and links, the OSE picture is plain wrong (unfortunately I disavowed a lot).
I will work with the excel for now.
Thank you both

That's the sort of excel macro love that I was hoping for. Thanks, Marie!
Also, uploading the .txt - that's not a bad or totally unrealistic idea, is it?

I agree with Tom, but I do see what you are saying. I think you are saying that you would like an option where you can upload your disavow.txt file to SEOMoz and then get a list of your backlinks minus the disavowed files. It's not a bad idea for a feature!
But until then, Tom's plan to do it manually in excel would work. Another way this could work in Excel is to add your disavowed domains in column A and have your OSE domains in column B then in column C use this forumula:
=if(B1=A1,"duplicate","")
This will flag all of the domains that are in your OSE list and also in your disavow list. You can then filter them out.

There's no way (that I can think of) for the OSE to know which domains you'd disavowed, so it would have to be manually done. The way I'd do this would be to export the backlink report into a .CSV file, lift the domains that you have disavowed and then, in Excel, remove any domains from the OSE list that are on your disavow list. You should be able to do this fairly quickly with the find+replace function. Alternatively, you could colour the cells of those domains in red, which again you could do quite quickly en masse.
Next index update is pencilled in for March 12th - you can find the information here. It usually takes a month, but what you'll no doubt notice on that page is that the index updates have been coming quicker and quicker; the last 2 updates have come only 14-15 days after the last one.

Why has a .cleaning domain not been indexed on Google?
One of our clients domain names is http://companyname.cleaning I've done all of the on-page SEO, submitted a sitemap to Google and am currently monitoring the analytics and data on MozPro. The next scheduled update on domain authority is the 21st of July? We must have had this on since April, the website was most likely launched at the end of March. Is it normal to wait this long for a site to be indexed and the domain authority to rise?

Fresh Web Explorer explorer doesnt seem to work properly
How do I get Fresh Web Explorer explorer to work properly. The feedback I’m getting shows that my brand, Health 2000 had over 4000 mentions on Monday the 13th of January. However when I check out the links that supposedly mention our brand, they bring up general terms related to Health and make no reference to our brand. How can I refine this?

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..?

Domains and sub domains - newbie
Hi Recently set up my SEOM MOZ account so any help would be great! On the competitive domain analysis page the sub domain metrics appear as good (if not better) then the domain.The Moz rank and trust are better on the sub domain. I know the website copy is appearing on both non-www and also www (which I assume is being referred to as the subdomain) on the competitor domain analysis page). Should I now 301 the WWW site to the non-www.... which will then concentrate the SEO and SEOMoz then will only have the root domain metrics appearing? Many thanks for your help in advance!

How to handle 2 domains pointing to the same server.
My client has 2 domains which point to the same sever. eg a.com and b.com both point to the same place. For now a.com has better seo but the client wants to switch to using b.com more. Im guessing 301 redirects will not work in this case. How would I handle this? If i'm forced to manage both domains, what is the best practice for monitoring in seomoz pro. Should i set up a.com as a competitor?

What analysis exists for Out Bound Links (OBL) from your site
Hi Maybe I am missing this but I can''t seem to see it. I am doing some analysis on a client's site and want to get a csv list of links from the client's site to external sites. So what I am looking for is a list of Out Bound Links (OBL) from the client's site. I want to run these past a black list / bad link neighborhood checking script I have. This would actually be a nice feature in SEO Moz Pro, unless it actually already does and I am just missing it or not setting filters correctly. Thanks Trevor

Domain Name Portfolio Management?
I am looking for some software, or an excel spreadsheet, or some way to manage 50-100 domain names. Maybe something a reseller of domain names would use? Something that keeps record of different whois information for different domain names, tracks IPs, nameservers, FTP logins, etc... I think excel would be best for this if there was a way to have the expiration date pulled so I dont forget to renew a domain name by mistake, and so I can easily keep track of them all in one place. I have seen a couple software programs out there for this, but none really meet all the needs I have. I also looked into some kinda database software with a nice GUI (MS Access, or FileMakerPro) but I dont know them software well. Any Ideas?
