Lost many links and keyword ranks since moz index update
-
Hi All,
I came back from work today from a week off to find my site has gone from 681 external inbound links to 202. With this my domain authority, moz trust and moz rank have all also taken a slip. Compounding this, I am seeing a slip most of my keywords rankings. If i try to use the open site explorer to explore my links and see what going on i get the message
It looks like we haven't discovered link data for this site or URL.
If i check the just discovered links like it suggests I get
It looks like there's no Just-Discovered Links data for this URL yet.
I know these features worked before the index as i used them. Is this all attributable to the moz index issues that have been noted or could something have happened to my site?
Since i started 2 months ago I have made many changes including...
- Updating the site map that was 4 years out of date and included 400 broken urls
- Removed blank pages and other useless webpages on the site that contained no content (from the previous administrator)
- Edited a few pages content from keyword spammy stuff to nicely written and relevant content
- Fixed url rewrites that made loops and un-accessible product pages
All these changes should be for the better but the latest readings have me a little worried.
Thanks.

I too am seeing lost links. Also none of my new links are appearing since the last index, although I see them on Google WMT and Majestic.

Use of Moz with non-latin characters
Hey there, I am new member with Moz and i have to say that you are doing very good job. Three days ago, i have learnt that the On-page Grader and On-Page Optimization tools are useless for me because i am using no-latin keywords (greek characters) in order to optimize my SEO. From that moment i dont know how to properly use moz pro in order to optimize my SEO score (if this still can be done) so i would like to ask: Without these two powerfull tools how can i use the Moz Pro in order to optimize my (greek) website? Is this possible to do it with out these two tools? should i try to do it manually? if yes what i have to read/learn in order to do it manually? What other tools can i use in order to help me rank my website instead of On-Page grader and optimization? Thanks in advance

About Expiry of MOZ API authentication and MOZ API call in .NET application
MOZ API signed authentication is getting expire after particular time, and coming up with the error "Authentication has expired , Re-send your authentication". **right now we are getting new authentication details using ** https://moz.com/products/api/keys after doing login. but, how do we get new credentials (authentication details) , by doing MOZ API call using c# or any other programming language, we are using this API in .NET. Also, How we can increase the session expiry time. i think it is concerned with the Sample Expires of Signed authentication , but we are unable to change it , as it is coming with the authentication failed.

Moz Local, only did 3 listings...
I used Moz local and it only successfully created 3 listings.. the rest all require I manually add the information. Seems like a steep price for 3 listings. I was under the impression it would do more than that. And on top of that, it created a google+ page and I already have one which now I cannot find a way to update. Same for facebook. I have a page, I even had it in the CSV file, but it didn't load it. Some help would be appreciated.

Will the MOZ API display
will the MOZ API display rank, social and page data So I can create my own dashboard? We are looking to head off the 100% not provided and need to add to our reporting program. I was hoping the MOZ API would allow us to integrate the page views per url with ranking data that the campaigns provide. We are also interested in adding the social metrics for twitter and facebook to our client facing portal. any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
