Count of links
-
I am using free link API to get total number of internal links,
external links, follow links and no follow links by using *
http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/links/* url.I have given following attributes along with the url as,
- SourceCols=4
- TargetCols=4
- Scope=page_to_page
- Sort=page_authority
- Limit=1000
- Filter=nofollow
By implementing this, I am getting array for each filter and by counting
array size, I can get the count of total links.This is a long procedure and seomoz link API is taking a long response time.
Is there any way by which I can get the total number of link for each
filter directly ? Or is there any other alternative ? -
Oky ...Thank you...
Let me know if you can develop such feature of getting direct link counts for different filters ...

Hey Ravi,
If you are a Free API user, that is probably the fastest way you're going to be able to pull that data. However, if you're using the Site Intelligence API, you would be able to get those calls from the URL-metrics API call, which is much more efficient and a lot faster.
You can see the Free versus Paid list here: http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/w/page/13991153/URL Metrics API
Internal links: Links (uid) - External Links (ueid)
External links: ueidFollow links: External Links (ueid) - Juice-Passing Links (ujid)
Nofollow links: Links (uid) - Juice-Passing Links (ujid)I'm sorry I can't be more help! Let me know if you have more questions,

hey thank you for your reply . The url I am using is like : "http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/links/".urlencode($url_to_check)."?SourceCols=4&TargetCols=4&Scope=page_to_page&Sort=page_authority&Limit=1000&Filter=follow"."&AccessID=".$accessID."&Expires=".$expires."&Signature=".$urlSafeSignature;
There is one request at a time for a link.
Thanks!

Hey Ravi,
The links call is pretty intensive and does take some time to process requests, but there could be a way to optimize your call. Would you be able to post the final URL you are sending to the API (eliminating your secret key)?
Also, how many requests are sending in at a time? Are you sending these in as batch requests or single requests?
Thanks!
Carin

Main Website Redirects to Mobile Website, Mobile Website counts this as direct traffic, is there a way to tell what the source/medium is?
Hello, The situation is that someone is arriving on my main website https://www.example.com and being redirected to http://m.example.com. When this happens my analytics says that the traffic is all direct coming to my mobile site. However, I know people clicking on my google cpc, and some google organic users are hitting the main website and being redirected. Before we didn't have as good of a redirect on our main website so I could tell organic and cpc traffic coming in, now my main website has a huge drop in these categories because they are redirecting to mobile but I can't tell on my mobile how much traffic from each is going to the mobile site. Is there a way to fix this? Is it because my main website is https:// and mobile is a http:// (as I know that sometimes makes traffic direct) or is it a bigger problem that can't be resolved? Thanks

We created an info graphic on one particular site and this site isn't coming up on the link analysis report. Would there be a reason for this. I ran a check on the sites code and it doesnt contain "nofollow" as i originally thought this was the problem. Here is an example of our work on a site that isn't coming up on the analysis report. http://www.electriciansblog.co.uk/2013/10/energy-saving-using-led-lighting/ Thanks0 -

Unique root linking domains - clarification
Hi guys, In SEOMoz Search Ranking Factors, one of the the top ranking factors is number of unique root domains linking to the page: http://www.seomoz.org/article/search-ranking-factors#metrics-5 My question is: do these unique root domains need to be unique root domains liking to my domain also? E.g. www.mydomain.com/landingpage1/ already got a link from www.externaldomain.com If www.externaldomain.com has another link pointing to www.mydomain.com/landingpage2/ will this link be counted? If yes will the value be diluted as www.externaldomain.com has already linked to www.mydomain.com/ Many thanks. David

High percentage of nofollow links
Hi, I've just created my first campaign and noticed that on the competitive analysis our website is having a lot of nofollow links: more than 50% I did some research on the web to learn more about nofollow links, but I don't understand why this percentage is so big especially compared to the other websites in the analysis (less than 10%)? Anyone any ideas? Thanks!
