Q&A alert e-mails no longer contain links back to the question referenced in the e-mail
-
How does everyone feel about no longer having direct links back to questions we may have answered or asked in the e-mails?
Until just recently when somebody commented on a question you had commented on easily you were able to click a link and see if it was maybe another question for you if you had not been clear enough the first time or if you needed to give more info whatever the need you had a link directly to The question referenced in the email.
Now all I can do is click on the person's profile which unfortunately does not get me back to Q&A to reply if needed to any questions.
I have to go through all the steps again and find it strange why you guys would remove the link going straight to the question being referenced in the email.
PS I love you and look the at new e-mails they look great. This is not anything big, but it was a nice advantage, and I will happily give up for all the great stuff you guys are giving us now. However if it would not be a burden I would love to see you back in their how does everyone else feel?
Sincerely,
Thomas Von Zickell

thank you Keri!

On the first screenshot, I'm thinking that maybe images aren't loading. I'll make sure that we have links back to the question that are in text and not just images in the future, but not sure exactly when that rollout will be. Thanks for letting us know!

Hi believe this shows that it is a problem maybe with my mail host? I turned off my spam filter and answer some questions and got the same though. I don't believe Peer1 Exchange mail 1 is at to blame however I will inquire with them if you guys think that is the Reason for this however I must say I've never had an issue with email like this before.
Any thoughts are more than welcome and I have tried three or four different mail clients now. It seems like the issue might be a little bit more complex. Thank you so much for any and all help

We can look at hyperlinking the question, as we'll be doing some more tweaks to the emails.
One of the feature we did add was having the question title in the subject line, so messages about different didn't get lumped together in gmail anymore.
-
On my iPhone5 (Gmail App), it shows up fine.

Worth checking that. I don't collect mail on any iOS device. However I do know that we deal with a hugely disproportional number of support issues regarding mail on iOS. Being polite I would say that it "isn't particularly robust".
It is publishers responsibility to test/fix that, as it is a popular enough platform. That doesn't make it any less annoying though.
Might not me that, but that's my immediate suspicion.
-
Earlier, it was the actual question that was hyperlinked. Now, as matbennett said, it's a button. The "Go to question" button.
I hope this helps.

Very good point, could be that it made might be my mail client. Using an iPhone five and it's also not showing up as well in sparrow a Mac mail application. It could be that thank you for telling me I'm going to try a different mail.
sincerely,
Thomas

I'm looking at some recent notification emails, and they all have the link back button for me. It is a button rather than a text link now though. I wonder if it isn't rendering correctly in your mail client or something.
Out of interest - what mail client are you using?

Switching to a new website & Search Engine Rankings
Hello! We have been doing a lot of work on our SEO over the last few months and are thrilled to be in the top four four "edmonton website design" in our city. However, we are planning to launch a new website soon and are very concerned that this could negatively effect our rankings (as was the case with one of our competitors this week). What tips and techniques can you recommend in this case? On paper, the SEO on our new site is much better than the last - the url structure, contact info and content is much more targeted to our desired search terms, however, I don't want to take any chances. Is there any way to be certain (as certain as possible) that we will not get bumped to page 2? Thanks, Anton

A couple of questions
1) My competitor has 20 links and a PA of 30, and a DA of 16. I thought from reading info here on SEOmoz that PA is a lot harder to influence and you have to raise up your overall DA to bring up the PA as well? I'm just trying to figure out how the heck she's managed to get a PA of 30 with so few links and ALL the numbers from the SEO campaign lower than mine. Does navigational structure and deep links with pages with every keyword have anything to do with it? Just want to learn as much as I can about this and how to raise PA...thanks. I've been reading as much as I can on here and on google but if you guys have any more suggestions that would be great. x How often is the SEO moz toolbar updated? Its been over a month and I've been working very hard on improving things and finding ways to get more links but its stayed the same? Also noticed that SEO moz doesn't crawl as many pages as I've got indexed with Google...why is this? Thanks for your help

Difference between Webmaster and SEOMoz back-link stats?
Hi there, I just noticed that there are differences between the links to my site showing on my Google Webmaster account and what is showing on my link analysis on SEOMoz. Has anyone noticed this? In webmaster I am showing 857 links to my site from 92 different domains. In SEOMoz I am showing 816 links to my site from 53 total linking root domains and only 39 followed domains? Does anyone know why this there is a difference? Are the links showing in Webmaster all indexed and followed links? Thanks in advance 🙂 Karl

Help with Roger finding phantom links
It Monday and Roger has done another crawl and now I have a couple of issues: I have two pages showing 404->302 or 500 because these links do not exist. I have to fix the 500 but the 404 is trapped correctly. http://www.oznappies.com/nappies.faq & http://www.oznappies.com/store/value-packs/\ The issue is when I do a site scan there is no anchor text that contains these links. So, what I would like to find out is where is Roger finding them. I cannot see any where in the Crawl Report that tells me where the origin of these links is. I also created a blog on Tumblr and now every tag and rss feed entry is producing a duplicate content error in the crawl stats. I cannot see anywhere in Tumblr to fix this issue. Any Ideas?

Why would PA be 1 (0 links from 0 root domains) if it's linked to internally?
Question just about said it all: I've seen a number of pages on sites that have a PA of 1 (with the metrics being 0 links from 0 root domains) when I can see on the site that it is linked to internally - from the main nav (which is CSS, not Javascript) and also from the footer, if not other places. Why would this be? Update: upon looking further at the site, it appears that there's some kind of redirect going on, where the page linked to from the nav actually redirects to the real page. Would that eliminate PA, even if it's a 301? And additionally, is whatever is causing this lack of PA a reflection of how Google would relate to the page? Thanks, Aviva
