Indexed sites
-
Hello I´m a newbie here on seomoz. My question is just simple but i need to be sure about that:Refering to the report which you can create in the "crawl diagnostic summary". Does the CSV export lists all and ONLY the URLS which are in the google index?If not: does a report is available where all and ONLY the URLS are listed which are in google index?Many thanks! Henrik

Hi Henrik,
Like Tom and Chris mentioned, our tools won't be able to tell you which of your pages are indexed by Google.
That being said, the crawl diagnostics will tell you if your redirected pages are reachable by search engines and OSE will tell you internal and external links. OSE is updated every few weeks so it might not show your most recent changes. Using a combination of your campaign crawls and OSE should be able to get you the data that you need to make sure you're in the best position for your site relaunch.
Hope this helps and good luck with relaunching your site!
Best,
Sam

Use your OSE report to find pages that are being linked to from external sources and be sure to redirect all of those. Use your analytics report to find pages that are bring in search traffic and be sure to redirect those. The rest are neither being linked to nor bringing you any traffic so their priority is on the low end, anyway.

thanks for your answers, my question was more to get a full report with sites which are indexed by google. I´mgoing to make a relauch soon. In the new website i changed a lot of categories and URL´s. Now I want to make sure that all sites which are indexed are redirected to the new URL with 301. It would be very helpfull to have a file whith ALL Urls which are indexed by google now.

Hi goodcat, you'll see from the FAQs on this page http://www.seomoz.org/help/crawl-diagnostics that the report data is from seomoz's crawl. Your question was asked and some answeres provided not too long ago over here: http://www.seomoz.org/q/is-it-possible-to-get-a-list-of-pages-indexed-in-google.

Hi Henrik
I have just checked this for you and yes, SEOMoz will show you URLs that have been deindexed by Google. As proof, here is a URL that contains a link to a site I've worked with that has come up in the SEOMoz crawl, but you will see has been de-indexed by Google (as has the whole domain):
http://www.doublebitbd.com/otherservices.htm
I'm not sure if there is a tool that will show you links that only exist in the Google index, I'm afraid, although I could be wrong. I do know a tool that will tell you which links pointing to your website have been deindexed and that is the LinkDetox tool. It will show you which links on your site are "toxic", meaning the URLs they sit on have been deindexed. The remaining links will be ones that point to your website.
You could also export the URLs in the SEOMoz report and put them into this IndexCheckingTool. Not sure how accurate it is, but if it gives you URLs that are noindexed from your Moz list, you could manually filter them out.
Hope this helps.

Site Explorer shows links as followable but they have nofollow tags
Hello, I am looking at site explorer and sites linking to my site moneyfact.co.uk. I've got thousands of links showing as 'followable' but when i check them they have rel="nofollow" tags. e.g: http://www.dianomioffers.co.uk/partner/moneyfacts.co.uk/brochures.epl?partner=93&partner_id=93&partner_variant_id=33 Why would they show as followable when the links are nofollowed? Thanks Steve

Open Site Explorer & SEOMoz Bar for Chrome Showing Different Numbers
When I run a report on OSE checking for linking root domains, the number is always different from the number of root domain links that the SEOMoz bar shows in Chrome. For example on OSE a site shows 88 root domain links, but in the SEOMoz bar, it shows 110 root domain links. I've tested this issue with several sites and there is always a discrepancy in the number of root domain links. Does anyone know which one is actually correct and why this might be happening? Thanks.

Keyword research & how it's relevant to my site.
How do I know if I can compete on a particular keyword. Say the keyword analysis tool shows the keyword difficulty is 59%. How do I know what 59% means to my site, other than checking domain and page authority relative to my site (i.e. if sites in the top 10 are higher or lower authority than my site). Is there a way of showing what keyword difficulty percentage is a cut off point for my site? Thanks, Dan

How is a site really ranking when taking into account Google places?
When I do a rankings search for one of my sites on Google and it appears high in Google places, SEO Moz tracks this as its ranking - but is this its organic ranking? My clients are wondering if things have changed and so am I? Does ranking in the Google places/map appearing on front page of google count as your ranking for that keyword? Client keeps ignoring the Google places ranking and goes looking for a placement farther down... Please explain this probably simple question to me... and if you have official Google references for this, please include them. I appreciate it a lot... be blessed ben

No Local Directory links in Open Site Explorer?
Hi there, I just signed up for seomoz pro today and have been playing around in OSE looking at a number of local business websites that I manage SEO for. For all of them, I have put an endless amount of effort ensuring they have good quality, accurate business listings in all the local directories like yelp, yellowpages, hotfrog, tripadvisor, etc. For most of them, I did this months or even up to a year ago. However, I don't see a single link reported in OSE that is a result of my efforts here. Does OSE not report links from local business directories, or should I be concerned that I'm somehow not optimizing properly, or are these types of links of such little value that they don't get picked up, something else? Thanks for the help!

Internal links not showing in Open Site Explorer
So I'm working on a law firm site and looking at the links for pages in OSE. For practice areas, the links to each practice area are in the left hand menu on every page of the site. Can anyone help me with this question: Example: http://www.comitzlaw.com/personal-injury/car-accidents.html When I plug this URL into OSE, it only shows one linking page, www.comitzlaw.com/practice-areas.html, yet there is a link to this on every other page in the site. When I plug in a random competitors page, www.lesagelblaw.com/Personal-Injury-Overview/Car-Accidents.shtml, it does show all the internal pages linking to it. Since I'm not using a flash menu or javascript, any ideas as to why no internal links are showing up in OSE? Even when I plug in the main URL for the home page, it only shows 4 other internal pages linking to it, yet there is a link on every page. What am I doing wrong?
