Link being indexed
-
So I found this link to my website on the huffington post
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/13/california-car-insurance-rates-vary-study_n_2122614.html
it's at the bottom in the "around the web" section. My question is this article has been around for almost 4 months yet the link does not show up in WMT. I would like to know if the link to http://www.shiftins.com is indexed and passing authority. Thank you.

WMT only updates their links every couple weeks, and it only shows some of your links. Since this page is indexed by Google, then it should be passing link value.
-
Your site is being indexed and is dofollow like others have mentioned. No one tool can grab every link on the web.
--NVM.

Yes that huff post page is indexed, it is PR4 and the link is a SEO friendly do follow link

That link is showing up in OSE. It appears to be passing authority and when I checked the Google cache of that article (so it is definitely indexed), your link shows up so there isn't any kind of cloaking/trickery going on there. Have you tried downloading all of the URLs from GWT? Sometimes the table of links in GWT are not updated that often, but the link may show up when you try to download the CSV file.

Sudden Drop in Index Status on GSC
Hi all, We've seen a sudden drop in index status on GSC from 19,000 to 12,000. Rankings, referring domains, organic traffic etc. have not changed. However, we have implemented a huge number of redirects and done a site migration from http to https in the past year. Could this have an effect? Thanks!

Index.php and /
Hello, We have a php system and in the MOZ error report our index.php shows up as a duplicate for / (home page). I instituted a rel canonical on the index.php because the / gets better rank than the other. This said, the error report through MOZ still shows them as duplicates. Should I be using a 301 instead? Please help! Also, I would love a good technical SEO book (for bridging the gap between SEO and programmer) if someone can recommend one? Thanks in advance!

An initial set up question - linking to GA
when viewing campaign it indicates there is a problem linking to our GA account but the details entered are correct. Any ideas what the problem might be - nothing on the campaign settings page gives me a clue. There is a highlighted box saying disconnect from GA but nothing else. The only thing i can think of is that the GA account was set up by a third party and we have access to view it - could it be a permissions problem?

Why do I have few different index URL addresses?
Yes I know, sorry guys but I also have a problem with duplicate pages. It shows that almost every page of my site has a duplicate content issue and looking at my folders in the server, I don't see all these pages... This is a static Website with no shopping cart or anything fancy. The first on the list is my [index] page and this is giving me a hint about some sort of bad settings on my end with the SEOMOZ crawler??? Please advice and thank you! index-variations.jpg

I just started using Open Site Explorer to track internal and external link data. Is this information given in real time or is it an average over a specified period of time?

Links are not found in OSE or am I missing ?
Hi.. All of our targeted pages have gone through serious Blog Posting and Social Bookmarking. All the sites were more than PR1 or 2 and all of them had a dofollow link with the perfect anchor texts. But when I trying to check our pages on OSE, it doesnt any of them. Why is that ? Im getting worried now. We have spent our last 7 months on this .
