Why are links not being added to my Domain Authority
-
I have just compared my domain authority with competitors and I can see that they are outscoring me on links from YouTube etc. Even though I have same set-up with regard YouTube and Squidoo etc and am also featured on Dmoz... these are not being added to my domain authority. Any ideas?

Hey Ryan... sorry to have shattered your illusion... lol!
Aaron was making me feel special so I guess we're both dumped! Haha...
Yeah, I'm new to all this in all hinesty but it still didn't make mcuh sense to me as like you say, it would be prety unlucky to have all my 'important' and highly ranked links fall within/without the 25% realm... its just confusing that one month I am above my competitors with regards the stats and then the next I am not because of 'missing' links. I'll keep an eye on it though and see what happens next time.
Thanks
M

The links are all pretty old (years as opposed to months) and were showing last time I checked in on SeoMoz (about a month ago) so I can't understand why they would just drop off...

How old are your links? It can take 2-3 months for new links to appear visible to Linkscape.

Why such a difference in external followed links details?
I love using seomoz and have done for a few years. I am no SEO expert, but like to think I can get away with making out I know what I'm on about! I use opensiteexplorer regualrly and usually enjoy delving deeper into it's metrics, but one thing is bothering me (before I start with this, please forgive me if I am missing something obvious - you may have to point it out in your answer!) So I run a comparison of a few sites and pay attention to the external followed links section. On checking this number at root domain level, company A has 12,666 external followed links. So I want to dig a little deeper as to the qulaity of those links and click along to the inbound links tab, here I select the following: "followed & 301" > "only external" > "all links to this root domain" > leaving the results ungrouped Downloading this table I only have results for 3,416 links - why such a big difference to the previous 12,666 or am I missing something here? Would just like a bit of clarification 🙂

Multiple links from Dmoz/Google directories worldwide
I came across www.soundandvision.com and did a Link Analysis on them.... http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/www.soundandvision.com/a!links I noticed that the top links they have are from Google directories or Google IP's. How has this happened? I am listed in Dmoz in the UK does this mean I have automatically appeared around the world. Dmoz is pretty strict about rejecting links how can a company be listed so much? Is this a good practise? Cheers
