Inbound Links Report Problem
-
While looking over my competitors inbound link report, they have a reported 5K inbound links.
The first 20 listed inbound domains are things like UPS, and other sites that when I look at them, and the source file has no link to their domain at all???
So are they using some kind of Black Hat technique, or is SEOMoz not reporting properly?
Help please.

Hi Wes.
Nick is right. Two steps for you to take:
1. Send an e-mail to help@seomoz.org and share the specific example
2. Check the site again on Wednesday. An OSE update is expected at some point on Tuesday and you should notice link changes for your sites by Wednesday.

Hi
I have seen this kind of thing before with strange files that don't make any sense from UPS and .gov sites and there was a discussion about it last week here: http://www.seomoz.org/q/weird-behaviour
In short, it was a glitch, but you may want to get in touch with SEOMoz support and let them know. I do think there are some odd ways of getting links have something to do with UPS and some Gov sites, but the explanation in the link above made me think it really was just a glitch.

Can Moz generate 404 Broken links report in an excel format
Hi all, Hope you are doing good and that all is well at your end. I'm a marketing team member here at Zephyr and I take care of the content side things for the team. I'm reaching out to you this morning in regards to figuring whether any Moz feature can be used for fixing broken links on our website and whether or not it can generate the broken links report which can be exported and saved in a spreadsheet. We are in the middle of cleaning up all the broken links which are currently live on our drupal site and which is why we are in need of a tool that generates the report of all the broken links onto an excel spreadsheet.Once we have the list of broken links set in a spreadsheet, we will work towards fixing those links. Meanwhile, we have also created a 404 error image for our readers who can be directed towards our homepage. Please, let me know if you can help me take care of these below-mentioned requests: 1. Suggest a tool /Moz feature which can generate the site report and list of broken links onto excel/spreadsheet 2. Once I've the list in an excel format, is there an automated way in which we can fix all the broken links which are currently live on our website, instead of manually deleting/unlinking those pages. Truly appreciate your help. Thank you! Is there an automated way in which we can fix all the broken links which are currently live on our website, instead of manually deleting/unlinking those pages.

Rank Report Not Updating
The ranking tool indicates that a new rank report will be generated every Tuesday. My last report was on November 15th. It is now November 25th. It missed last week. Should I report something wrong or is this normal? How do I keep it updating on a weekly basis like it's supposed to? I checked in settings to see if I had done anything wrong and couldn't find anything. Regards, Dino

Why are not nofollowed links counted in On-Page Analysis Report?
When I run the On-Page Analysis on our homepage, the report says the page has 238 **"Internal followed links". ** Why are not nofollowed internal links counted as well? Nofollowed links have been leaking link juice for quite some time now. Martin

Open Site Explorer missing links
Hi, When the update of Open Site Explorer was released I noticed that the new version was missing a huge amount of links that the old version previously found. This still seems to be the case and it's pretty frustrating as we use the tool for our clients. Is this something that everybody is seeing and if so SEOMoz when do you think you'll have a solution? Many thanks

Inbound links
Hi all, I was working on some monthly SEO reports and I noticed that the number of inbound links was a lot less compared to last month. I measured these number of inbound links with the mozBar, e.g. May 2011 - 49.306, June 2011 - 10.659, July 2011 - 1.010 Do you have any idea how this could be possible? I'm really looking forward to your answers! Thanks all!
