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.

Moz Pro | | shoobi
1. Email bloggers and tell them about your content
2. Share it on bookmarking sites (like Reddit)
3. Contact influential Twitter and Facebook profiles about it
4. Make it easy for visitors to share your infographic with an embed code at the bottom
5. Share it on infographic websites (like https://www.prizebondtime.com)
6. Share it with your email subscribers (if you have an email subscriber list)
7. Post it on your blog, Facebook page, Twitter, etc. Basically everywhere. The name of the game here is to get your content out in front of as many eyeballs you can as possible. Then after that, it's up to how good your content is to begin the viral loop.0 -
Is there a way for me to find out how a keyword would rank if it were on a specific site?
Is there a way for me to find out how a keyword would rank if it were on a specific site? For example, lets say that XYZ.com does not have the keyword "ABC". Is there a way for me to find out how the keyword "ABC" would rank if it were on XYZ.com?

Is there any way to get Moz to generate a regular (e.g. weekly) report of new links to my domain, automatically?
I want to know when new people link to my domain. I do not want to log in once a week and use a complex interface to figure this out, I want it in my inbox every week. Is there a way to get Moz to do this? (I am a PRO user) Cheers, Daniel

Curious, is there any way when browsing through your keywords to view each individual keyword by the search traffic that term receives?
When looking thru our keywords on our reports in SEOmoz, it would be really helpful to be able to rank keywords by major head terms and long tail terms. Is there any way to have the keyword's search traffic show up in the rankings report?

Link from Dr. Oz web site not being seen, what are we doing wrong?
Newbie so this may be SEO 101... Quick back story: My wife Lauri is a Dream Expert who has been on over 5,000 radio shows, TV shows like Good Morning America, the Today show, the View, in major magazines and newspapers, the list goes on and on, I'm not bragging actually the opposite. Lauri barely exists online and to top it off we don't seem to be getting any "link juice" from some big sites that have linked to us. Here is just one example of many: Our site: theDreamZone.com Here is a page on Dr Oz site that links to us, anchor text at top right "Click here": When you use On site Explorer this link isn't there, what are we doing wrong? Our plan is to build a new site (LauriTheDreamExpert.com) and get these links and many others pointing to us correctly so she can get the exposure she's earned. Lauri was also on the Dr Oz TV show : Watch it if you like. Thanks for any wisdom, Mike
