Follow tag is showing no follow in site explorer
-
I have a link which is showing tag as a follow but in Moz site explorer is showing no follow link
here is the link - https://www.techtimes.com/articles/237876/20190125/top-5-best-instant-messenger-businesses-2019.htm
Could anyone here tell why this is happening

Hi Tvisha.
Interesting question and very weird all round, hopefully Eli and the team can get to the bottom of it.
Few observations from me (Troop Messenger):
- I agree, my Link Explorer also has it marked as no-follow. Curiously using the Moz Toolbar, the highlight follow link doesn't work for me. Neither does highlight no-follow links. Only one which works is the external link
- Inspecting the line of code rel="follow" isn't actually a valid property as far as I'm aware: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/96569?hl=en Perhaps this could be confusing Roger?
Quite far-fetched but the only wild theory I have. Or perhaps it was no-followed when Moz originally crawled it and the links have since changed.
Hope you get to the bottom of if, it's a weird anomaly!

Why is Link Explorer showing the same domain strength for domain and sub-domain? Shouldn't it be different?
I believe in the past the sub-domain score was different than the domain score in Link Explorer. Now I am seeing that it is reporting the same score. I have to use exact page to get a sense of how strong the sub-domain is.

Recently there was an update from your side and that was pretty good. I have analyzed model factors regarding Moz 2.0. Though my DA score has been down to 36 from 52, I would still say that an update was really necessary. I have some questions which require some clarification or you can say a proper solution.
As of now, I have removed all the Spam links which were coming to my website (https://edugorilla.com) and I have submitted the disavow list to GSC but I would like to know how should I begin my link building strategy keep everything in mind. And now that, I have removed those spam links how would Moz or how should I tell Moz or Google that those have been removed so how soon can I get back to my previous DA score? I am very much confused with the link building strategy now. What steps should I follow after submitting a disavow list and would Moz stats will change after Google Disavowing those links? Can anyone answer my question?1 -

Is there an option that's more precise over Open Site Explorer?
I've had folks explain to me before that OpenSiteExplorer is just an estimation, etc. but there are some fairly easy statistics that seem to be different and it makes me nervous that either its wrong or I'm doing something wrong. As you can see in the image, moz isn't read social metrics correctly. It actually used to be pretty spot on, but as you can see with Google+'s its off. Maybe not a big deal right? But for my clients new Moz Analytic print outs it makes somewhat of a difference. Any help? UlwQs3w
