Competitive Domain Analysis & Subdomain Metrics
-
I have a web site that shows with all zeroes in the Competitive Domain Analysis and subdomain Metrics screen. I don't think this is possible because I have a ton of links out there to this web site from a forum that I visit. Can someone help me understand how this might be. I am hoping it's not some dreaded www vs non www issue because I think I solved that issue for this site. The site is www.nationalcurrencyvalues.com

Interestingly Majestic SEO Site Explorer shows no data from it's historic index, but shows 2 referring domains, 85 Backlinks from it's "fresh" index.
Keep building the links!

Both interesting and informative replies... I guess my confusion comes from the fact that my antiquebanknotes.com and NationalCurrencyValues.com domains were both started at the same time and the primary source for tons of inbound links is a signature line I use in a forum. It just seems odd that nationalCurrencyValues shows 0 across the board but It makes sense given the OSE says no data available.
The site does show up for some relevent good searches though so it seems that the DA opinion a little harsh.
I guess I better find some links so that I can evaluate the site better.
Thanks to both replies!

It appears you have the www and non www taken care of. But, there is no DA or PA for this site. I did not that with the exception of the landing page most of the tabs redirect to another url. That url, antiquebanknotes.com has a DA of 10 and the first page has a PA of 20. There is only one linking root domain showing in OSE. (Note that OSE will not show every link but about the top one fourth. So if you have a lot of low value links, they won't show)
I don't know how you did the redirect, but if you believe you have a lot more authority than that for the url you asked about, that would be a place to start. Also, if the site is new, you won't have accumulated any authority yet. You will need to add some links, etc.
You can look in GWMT and see what links they are showing.

HI Greg,
Your site isn't in the Linkscape index that the SEOmoz tools use, as a result there's no data for the tools to work with. If you look-up your site on Open Site Explorer you get the error "No Data Available for this URL"
If you've only got a small number of sites linking to your site you're going to limit the chances that your site will be found and included.
You mention you have a ton of links from a forum you visit. A bunch of links from just one domain (especially forum posts) isn't going to make your site that visible out there on the net.
I would look at ways to promote your site more broadly. Can you get links from a number of other, preferably high authority sites?
A good place to start is looking at who's linking to sites similar to yours. Look up your competitors sites in Open Site Explorer and see where they are getting links from. Maybe you can get links from those sources too.
Hope this helps.

Subdomain Ranking Question
Hi All - Quick question that I think I know the answer to, but I feel like I've been going around in circles a bit. My client is launching a new product and wants us to build a microsite for it (product.clientname.com). My client really dislikes their brand website, and wants to use paid media to push their audience to this new microsite. However, they also said want it to rank well organically. I feel uneasy about this, because of the subdomain vs. subfolder argument. I believe that the product will also be listed/featured on their main brand website. What is the best way forward? Thanks!

Pings & Trackbacks
Hello I have a question: If Pings & Trackbacks are disabled (and, for older posts, removed completely through a function in mySQL) would this also remove links earned through pings and trackbacks? Also, if those functions are disabled, would thus avoid a website gaining some (even if automatic, but maybe from very good websites for article feeds) useful backlinks? Thanks for a reply. If I was not clear, please let me know. Eugenio

Do bad links to a sub-domain which redirects to our primary domain pass link juice and hurt rankings?
Sometime in the distant past there existed a blog.domain.com for domain.com. This was before we started work for domain.com. During the process of optimizing domain.com we decided to 301 blog.domain.com to www.domain.com. Recently, we discovered that blog.domain.com actually has a lot of bad links pointing towards it. By a lot I mean, 5000+. I am curious to hear people's opinions on the following: 1. Are they passing bad link juice? 2. does Google consider links to a sub-domain being passed through a 301 to be bad links to our primary domain? 3. The best approach to having these links removed?

Explain Competitive Link Analysis
Hi all...bit of a newbie into the SEO world! So excuse me if this question makes me sound simple 🙂 Basically we have recently had a link analysis done on our site but I'm finding it a little bit difficuilt to actually understand what it all means. What are followed and nofollowed links? What is the sort of ratio needed between the two for best results. And my next question being what are followed linking root domains and nofollowed linking root domains?

Why Google did not index our domain?
Hi, We launched tmart 60 days ago and submitted to google, bing, yahoo 20 days later. But google had never indexed our website still when yahoo indexed it in one week. What we have checked or tried: 1. We got 20~50 inlinks in one month and now 81 inlinks via yahoo site explorer. 2. This domain has registered for 13 years and we purchased it from sedo last year. We

did not find any problems from domain archive pages. 3. Page similar: the homepage is 50% similar to one of our competitors when we just launched.
So we adjusted the page structure and modified the content one month later and decreased the similarity to 30% (by tools from webconfs.com) 4. Google Robots: googlebot crawled our website every day after we submitted for indexing.
We opened GWT account for it and added the xml sitemap last week. GWT said nothing
was wrong except the time of page loading. Our questions: Why google did not indexed our website? What should we do? Thanks, wu0
