Haver ever seen opensiteexplorer be way off?
-
What is the deal with this:
http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.selfstoragestartup.com
Based on the links it is showing, there is no way in hell that it should have a domain authority that high. What am i missing here? There is practically nothing on this site, and hardly any backlinks, yet OSE thinks it has a huge PA and DA!?

Turns out i was wrong. Take a look at this.
Some sort of russian spam has created 1000s of backlinks for this site to the non-www pages. The weirdest part is when you visit those pages, they are forums, full of literally thousands of seo type spam posts full of links. And it gets even weirder. If you google translate those pages, the links to this site are using anchor text that is seemingly irrelevent. Like "buy barbie dolls online" or "best chicken noodle soup". WTF?!
Why would anyone linkbuild like that? is there actually a benefit to having obscure anchor text pointing at your root domain?
This is beyond bizarre.

It's probably best to send an email to [email protected] and ask the help desk specifically about this. They all know more about how it works than we do here in Q&A, and they can also reprimand Roger if he made any mistakes in this latest crawl.

seems something may have gone wrong, its showing 2200 root linking domains in the toolbar which is probably where the high da comes from.

Is a new website the only way to get better rankings?
Our website is https://www.franklin-bell.com.au. For a while now we've been trying to get a few of our pages on there to get a better rank on google. A local SEO agency told us that some of our pages are not like "the modern standard" for web pages, but our page score for the keywords we want is 90% and higher. Do we really need to completely rebuild the website (it was built in 2014) in order to get better rankings? Or is it sufficient to have the 97% page score and then just get some back links and social media referrals etc. Thanks in advance.

Results still being seen for old deleted content
Hi, Our site has a blog. We had "Categories" and "Tags" in our blog. This caused SEO chaos with Duplicate content and 404 Errors. We removed all the Categories and Tags about a month ago. Why would these issues still be showing up on Moz as errors on our Crawl Diagnostics page? Do we need to do some thing else other than just remove them from our blog. Thanks

Is there a way to get the SEO campaign crawl to run from outside the US?
We are working on a international site that uses IP redirection. I am currently trying to crawl and monitor the Australian version of the site, however the pro-campaign crawler is running from the US and only giving me US data. Is there a way to tell the crawler to run through a local proxy so we can track international versions? Thanks!

What the . . ! Duplicate Pages and Titles WAY up?
My duplicate pages went up 50 plus in the past week, and my duplicate page titles went over more then 100. We recently redesigned the website, but it has been up for several weeks now. The only change I made specifically last week or late the week before was to get my 301 redirects done to get the www. version and the non www version pointing to the same place (as well as a couple other sites that point to it). I'm sure this is not enough info to figure out what went wrong . . . I'd love some help in figuring this out though.
