Our recently searched Open Site backlink reports are identical to last months across multiple clients. Why is this happening?
-
When processing the backlink data of our clients for this month (searches done on 28th December), we're finding that the information gathered from Open Site explorer is identical to the data that was found on searches done at the end of November.
It appears to have happened for the reports we use for every single client so it must be more than a coincidence. From our perspective, it's almost as if no data has been tracked since the last time we gathered backlink reports.
Could you help us get to the bottom of this?

Sorry SeoMoz!
I usually use Majestic Seo to check my backlink process. I don't know the timelines for when they update, but their charts make me feel better about my link building (since the usually show growth).

Great, thanks Alan.

Unsolved Search Visibility
Hi,
Moz Pro | | Avery123
Recently one of my clients had search visibility of over 3%. Within one month that number dropped all the way to 0. We also had many keywords ranking in the top ten that are now not ranked at all. Does anyone know why this may have happened?0 -
Clearing our on-page ranking reports?
Is there a way to "bulk delete" on-page ranking reports which are no longer relevant? I know we can delete them one at a time, but the reason I ask is that I've done a fair bit of work changing URL's, so the reports are often for old URL's which no longer exist. (yes, I made sure to do 301 redirects to the new ones!) Thanks in advance for any help!

All My Metrics Improved from Last Month but Domain Authority Decreased
Hi SEOMoz community! My site's Domain Authority has decreased from 43 to 41 since last month. I cannot figure out why. ALL my metrics (Domain MozRank, Domain MozTrust, External Followed Links, etc. have increased. See attached image. Is Domain Authority a ranking system based on your peers? Can someone better explain the Domain Authority algorithm? Thanks for any help you can offer. mozrank.png

How often are there enough backlinks
Hello, I'm slowly finding backlinks for our niche site. 90% of the competition is using internal pages so mining competitors is hard. I'm mining sites that are in the backlinks of my competitors. Question: In cases like this, what percentage of the time do you think that it is possible to find enough backlinks to rank in the top 3? For example, is there always enough backlinks to rank high enough? Is there only enough half the time? I know this is a general question but maybe you could try the answer it followed by a statement of "why I gave this answer" Thanks!
