Count of links
-
I am using free link API to get total number of internal links,
external links, follow links and no follow links by using *
http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/links/* url.I have given following attributes along with the url as,
- SourceCols=4
- TargetCols=4
- Scope=page_to_page
- Sort=page_authority
- Limit=1000
- Filter=nofollow
By implementing this, I am getting array for each filter and by counting
array size, I can get the count of total links.This is a long procedure and seomoz link API is taking a long response time.
Is there any way by which I can get the total number of link for each
filter directly ? Or is there any other alternative ? -
Oky ...Thank you...
Let me know if you can develop such feature of getting direct link counts for different filters ...

Hey Ravi,
If you are a Free API user, that is probably the fastest way you're going to be able to pull that data. However, if you're using the Site Intelligence API, you would be able to get those calls from the URL-metrics API call, which is much more efficient and a lot faster.
You can see the Free versus Paid list here: http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/w/page/13991153/URL Metrics API
Internal links: Links (uid) - External Links (ueid)
External links: ueidFollow links: External Links (ueid) - Juice-Passing Links (ujid)
Nofollow links: Links (uid) - Juice-Passing Links (ujid)I'm sorry I can't be more help! Let me know if you have more questions,

hey thank you for your reply . The url I am using is like : "http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/links/".urlencode($url_to_check)."?SourceCols=4&TargetCols=4&Scope=page_to_page&Sort=page_authority&Limit=1000&Filter=follow"."&AccessID=".$accessID."&Expires=".$expires."&Signature=".$urlSafeSignature;
There is one request at a time for a link.
Thanks!

Hey Ravi,
The links call is pretty intensive and does take some time to process requests, but there could be a way to optimize your call. Would you be able to post the final URL you are sending to the API (eliminating your secret key)?
Also, how many requests are sending in at a time? Are you sending these in as batch requests or single requests?
Thanks!
Carin

What would be causing our linking domains and inbound links to decline?
I am noticing a decline in the number of our linking domains and inbound links from month to month. It isn't drastic but looking like a trend. Any reason why this would happen? I'm not sure where to start. Thanks!

UTM Links Showing Up as Separate Pages in Google Analytics
Hey everyone, I was just looking at landing pages in Google Analytics, and in addition to just the URL of the landing page, the UTM links are being listed as separate pages. Is this normal? I anticipated seeing the landing page URL and then using the secondary dimension to see source/medium. If this isn't normal, what would I check next?

Main Website Redirects to Mobile Website, Mobile Website counts this as direct traffic, is there a way to tell what the source/medium is?
Hello, The situation is that someone is arriving on my main website https://www.example.com and being redirected to http://m.example.com. When this happens my analytics says that the traffic is all direct coming to my mobile site. However, I know people clicking on my google cpc, and some google organic users are hitting the main website and being redirected. Before we didn't have as good of a redirect on our main website so I could tell organic and cpc traffic coming in, now my main website has a huge drop in these categories because they are redirecting to mobile but I can't tell on my mobile how much traffic from each is going to the mobile site. Is there a way to fix this? Is it because my main website is https:// and mobile is a http:// (as I know that sometimes makes traffic direct) or is it a bigger problem that can't be resolved? Thanks

Links From Public Info
Hi guys, I'm conducting a link analysis for one of my websites and I have found a few potentially damaging links. However, there are some people who I have contacted about removing links who have said that they will not remove my link because they are using data that is publicly available. Is there anything I can do to get those links removed rather than diavow? Thanks.

How can you tell if Google has already assessed a penalty against your site for spammy links?
Is there any way to tell for sure if there is a penalty? My client has a ton of low quality back links, and I think they are in danger of a Penguin penalty. Any way to know? The links are there for a business reason.... their clients mention them in the footer, with a backlink. It is not a link scheme. but folks are generally not clicking on a footer link, and so there is a pro/con of leaving it as it. Any way, to diagnose whether a Penguin penalty has already hit?

Find 404 Broken Links
We are looking for tools to help us repair broken backlinks, those with 404 error. We have used the Open Site Explorer tool to create a CSV file from our client's URL. We read the "Fixing Crawl Diagnostic Issues", but don't see how to "find the 404ed URL", nor do we see a "referral column" to scroll to. What steps should we take to locate the broken 404 linkages? What steps can we take to streamline repairs?

Solving link and duplicate content errors created by Wordpress blog and tags?
SEOmoz tells me my site's blog (a Wordpress site) has 2 big problems: a few pages with too many links and duplicate content. The problem is that these pages seem legit the way they are, but obviously I need to fix the problem, sooooo... Duplicate content error: error is a result of being able to search the blog by tags. Each blog post has mutliple tags, so the url.com/blog/tag pages occasionally show the same articles. Anyone know of a way to not get penalized for this? Should I exclude these pages from being crawled/sitemapped? Too many links error: SEOmoz tells me my main blog page has too many links (both url.com/blog/ and url.com/blog-2/) - these pages have excerpts of 6 most recent blog posts. I feel like this should not be an error... anyone know of a solution that will keep the site from being penalized by these pages? Thanks!

No Internal Followed Links on My Site?
I just ran the Site Explorer on my site (myeyedr.com) and it reported that there are no internal links on www.myeyedr.com or myeyedr.com. However, there were 20 internal followed links on www.myeyedr.com/index.aspx. I'm guessing this is hurting my SEO. Any suggestions?
