Inbound link cleanup and management
-
Hey guys this is my first time asking a question here but I have been lurking for a while now and have learned a lot here. I have to come up with a plan to go through, analyze, and clean up the existing backlinks for 37 root domains. That to me makes manually looking through the stack one at a time impossible. Obviously there are some great tools and I currently have Moz tools and Raven available to me but am open to acquire something different as well if it makes sense. My questions are:
1. Do I need to worry about nofollow links at all? Should I just separate them out right off the top and be done with that?
2. What ways have you all accomplished this task? Are there any time sucking pitfalls to avoid? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance this site truly has been a blessing to me!

Link Research Tools is awesome. It can be a little expensive but it is worth every penny.

Personally I wouldn't be worrying about those links. I just meant wholesale links from no doubt spammed domains that are disproportionate to your whole profile. I would just continue building good links to the site.

I have one site with 4224 links from yellow pages which are all no follow. The domain only has 7219 links total. Do I do anything with that? From what I can tell they are not helping me from a ranking / authority perspective but are they hurting me? What you are saying makes sense to me about being well rounded. 58% of the total links being not follow from one site doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Any thoughts?

I would say in general you could forget about no-follow. However, and some may disagree with me, I look at those no-follow and if they are screaming dire spam, have a dubious nature and there is volume I treat them just the same as any other link. Google wants to see a rounded link profile so there will be a bunch of no-follow links in there. If those links are bad i'd want to let Google know that they are nothing to do with me. If there is a very small proportion of poor no-follow links then that is probably ok as again that is probably quite natural.

Check out cognitiveseo.com. They take all the link metrics from Moz, ahrefs, and majestic (so saves you having to subscribe to each separately to be certain you get all the links) and also allow you to import your webmaster tools data. They have a tool that allows you to classify links and advise on what are bad links. As with any automated tool you need to manually check through it all.
Once you have the list, they will even build the disavow file for you.
When I was under a negative SEO attack, it is what I used for 3 or 4 months whilst I managed the disavow process.

Competitor getting External Links from search.aol.com
Recently, I noticed that one of the competitors I track within my Moz campaign received about 12 new inbound links. As a result, there DA jumped about 10 points. I reviewed these new external links and was surprised to see that they are all "search.aol.com/aol/search?query= ..." with Link Anchor Text that is good for the industry we compete in. Can anyone tell me why these are being counted as "Inbound Links". It just doesn't seem right. Is this some sort of black hat seo tactic?

Links listed in MozPro Crawl Diagnostics
Ok, seeing as I'm getting to the end of my first week as a Pro Member, I'm getting more and more feedback regarding the pages on my site. I'm slightly concerned though that, having logged in this morning, I'm being shown 407 warnings for pages with 'Too Many On Page Links.' According to the blurb at the top of the page, 'Too Many' is generally defined as being over 100 links on a page ... but when I look at the pages which are being thrown up in the report, none of them contain anywhere near 100 links. I seriously doubt there is a glitch with the tool which has led me to think that maybe there's an issue with the way my site is coded. Is anyone aware of a coding problem that may lead Google and SEOMoz to suspect that I have a load of links across my site? P.S. As an aside, when this tool mentions 'Too Many Links' is it referring purely to OBL or does it count links to elsewhere on my domain too? Cheers,
