What should be cols value if I want to get Backlinks?
-
Hi,
I am forming below url to get backlinks.
http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/url-metrics/".$trimurl."?Cols=2048
&AccessID=".$accessID."
&Expires=".$expires."
&Signature=".$urlSafeSignature;
For Example, if I keep $trimurl = "www.tatvic.com/" , I get [uid] => 633.
Is this a right way to get number of backlinks ? If not, what should be the 'Cols' value?
Also, how can I ensure that the number of links I am getting is correct ? Is there any way to compare this number with Google search results? This is very essential to check as I got different number of backlinks on different APIs.
Thank you.

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for the question!
Unfortunately though, we don't do any API support here. What you'll want to do to get your answer quickly is submit your question in the Developer forum here: http://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293196-developer-discussion-group
That's your best option for finding accurate and quick information regarding the API.
Cheers,
Joel.

Get into Google : New Sites
I have a brand new website. It was created 10 days ago. How long would it take for it to show up in search results? I understand that since the site is new, there are no sites sending it backlinks. Also, i have optimized the page for my keyword "xyz" and it received an A grade. The site does not figure even in the top 50 results. Please help me out. It is a one page web application that needs to drive traffic to survive.

How to get the total external links to a page and total external links to the domain using Mozscape API? I could not see an option in the bit flags
Hi, I was trying to get the data for total external links to a page and total external links to the domain using Mozscape API but I can't see a bit flag which can do that. There are bit flags for external followed links to a page and external followed links to a domain but I wanted the total external links data, is there a way to do that using Mozscape API else I would end up copying the data manually from OSE which would be cumbersome and time consuming. Your help is highly appreciated.

New Backlinks by Week?
One of my competitors has recently got a surge of links and I need to work out where they've been focusing their efforts to make sure I don't get left behind. The only method I've really got at the moment is looking at saved reports from OSE and trying to find new links between them. This is obviously time consuming and has some odd results (Old content showing up only on newer reports for example and have to ensure that each weeks report is generated exactly the same). What I really need is a weekly output of where 2 or 3 websites have been gaining links. Can anyone recommend any tools that can help me with this? Thanks
