SEOmoz Report: Competitive Domain Analysis
-
Hi there,
According to SEOmoz Dashboard's Competitive Domain Analysis, the 'Total Links' for our domain shot up (more than quatripled) in the last few weeks.
We haven't really done much link building in over 6 months so not sure how to explain this. Did SEOmoz make updates to their bots? Could it be that the bots are finding all these links only now?
We've been using SEOmoz reporting for almost a year now, and I've never seen this before.
Some insight / explanation for this would be great.
Thanks in advance,

The Moz team has been working to continually index and catalog more links all the time. It's very likely this is just a case where they have more links in the system. (They went from 60 billion URLs up to a whopping 150 billion URLs in just the past update alone, that took place a couple weeks ago).

Could it have anything to do with Google's Penguin update?? Perhaps the links were previously considered not valid??

Is there any way to get Moz to generate a regular (e.g. weekly) report of new links to my domain, automatically?
I want to know when new people link to my domain. I do not want to log in once a week and use a complex interface to figure this out, I want it in my inbox every week. Is there a way to get Moz to do this? (I am a PRO user) Cheers, Daniel

Moz Pro | | OscarSE
I really can't get my head around what "set of skills" I need to know to be able use the SEOmoz API? And other APIs for that reason. Do I need a programming skills, or just knowledge how each specific API works(+ common sense)? Or both? I'm sorry if this is off topic but the main reason why I'm asking is that I wan't to start to use the SEOmoz API. If you could provide a link or two about where I can start to learn about how this works, I would really appreciate that!0 -

SEOmoz bot and "noindex"
As a recent newbie to SEOmoz, I've been implementing some suggestions and doing a general tidy up. I removed URL's from our robots txt, and rolled out instead the noindex meta tag to pages we don't want indexed. But surprised to see issues that are now flagged from the last crawl by the moz bot from pages that have this meta tag? Does the SEOmoz bot not ignore this tag? Just want to make sure I've implemented it correctly, so the google bot does ignore it. Meta tag syntax is and is placed below the title tag. cheers Steve

Personalised PRO Dashboard reports?
Hi guys, I'm loving the SEOMoz PRO dashboard and have learnt so much from the campaigns I've been running. I was wondering if I could personalise the reports to have my logo on them instead of SEO MOz's? At the moment, I export them and try recreate them offline, but it wouold be way easier if I could just send them the reports PDF'ed up straight from the dashboard.
