Why Do Domain Link Metrics Differ in Keyword Difficulty Report vs OpenSiteExplorer
-
If anyone could shed some light on this that would be great. It seems as if the two tools are using different versions of the database?

Hi Mike,
@SEOmoz tweeted a few hours ago that the team had completed the latest Linkscape Update a week ahead of schedule.
Since there is generally a wait time before you can download your Advanced Report from the Keyword Difficulty Tool, it is quite possible that the numbers you obtained from there were Pre-Update, so may have changed in OSE.
There is currently an issue with the Keyword Difficulty Tool producing an error result, but the Help Team are aware of it and working to resolve the issue. If you want to keep up with progress on that you can follow @SEOmoz on Twitter and they will advise when it is resolved. Then you will be able to run your Advanced Report again.
You can run a 5 site comparison in Open Site Explorer using the Advanced Reports to get you through with most of the information if you need to.
If for some reason you don't believe the Update timing was a factor, then the best solution would be to email the Help Team help[at]seomoz.org.
Hope that helps,
Sha

Benchmark report for client
Hello, Wondering if someone can tell me how to make a clean, professional report of the most important SEO metrics for a client, from a month ago. I have MozPro and want to be able to see where we stood in rankings, links, crawl issues, landing page, PA/DA, etc when we began. I am thinking that there has got to be a way I can customize a report in Pro and then, if not all the info I want is there (traffic stats?), I can integrate that info in? Is there an easier way? I should've done it when I signed up and started working on the site, but....I didn't. ;( Thanks!

Why does page report still have "Too Many Links" alert?
I'm a new Moz Pro user and see that the on-page optimization report includes "too many links" on page and references the "100 links" guideline that Google no longer endorses: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=l6g5hoBYlf0 Too many links is still an issue in terms of passing link juice, but not much else. Matt Cutts has stated that it is fine to have many internal links in this regard. Please correct me if I am mistaken.

Cities in Keywords Ranking Reports
So I've been in the habit of creating a master list of keywords concatenated with the city name so I can track my local rankings versus competitors. 1. Is this the correct thing to do to help hone in on who competitive my sites are ranking in the local market? 2. If so, by doing this the On Page reports seem to be totally screwed, because the searches I'm tracking (with city) vs the keywords I want to analyse for on-page ranking (without city), are different. What is the solution?

Question About Moz Reports
Hey guys Is it possible to change the date/time that SEOmoz runs its ranking reports? I put together ranking reports each Monday which I need to feedback to the business and it would be good if I could schedule these for late Sunday or early Monday mornings for me coming in to the office.

How long has the keyword difficulty tool had these limits in place?
While working against a tight deadline, I was surprised to see the following message: "We're sorry. Currently we are only able to offer results for 300 keywords per user per day. Please come back tomorrow" How long has this limit been in place and is the limit listed anywhere during the signup process? I rarely use this tool for more than 10-20 keywords at a time, so I have not run into this issue before.

Can someone explain why I have been seeing an increase in the number of Linking Page URLs in OSE that link directly to downloads?
Ever since the last couple Linkscape updates when doing competitive back link analysis I have noticed a large increase in the number of URLs of Linking Pages in OSE that result in an immediate file download. The majority of the time these downloads are not common files ie PDF, DOC files. For example, these were all in a competitors back link profile: http://download.unesp.br/linux/debian/pool/main/i/isc-dhcp/isc-dhcp-relay-dbg_4.1.1-P1-17_ia64.deb http://snow.fmi.fi/data/20090210_eurasia_sd_025grid.mat http://www.rose-hulman.edu/class/me/HTML/ES204_0708_S/working model examples/Le25 mad hatter.wm?a=p&id=145880&g=5&p=sia&date=iso&o=ajgrep These are just a few I came across for a single competitor. Is this sketchy black hat SEO, some sort of error, actual links, or something else? Any information on this subject would be helpful. Thank you.

Hi All, I don't understand the metrics for this website http://www.tntaccess.fr : http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/www.tntaccess.fr%252F/a!metrics There is 0 internal followed links, is it normal? because there are internal followed links for this website. Or there is something I dont understand. It is penalizing for the website? how do we correct this? does it come from the robot text file? Thanks a lot for your help Anne
