Why does the link analysis of my website say I have no links?
-
When I click on the "Link Analysis" tab it says my website has a domain authority of 1 and has 0's for every other category.
When I run it in Open Site Explorer - it says I have a page authority of 51 with over 4600 links.
My website also seems to be at a stand still over the past several weeks. Anyone know why the two Link Analysis is not showing anything?
Thank you

Thank you.
Although I am using Volusion for some clients, I hate them. Too limited and I will go out of my way to get customers away from them. I do have a client using Volusion, he is paying ~$500 a month for unlimited bandwidth...$500!?!?!! I mean cmon!

That is extremely funny that you mention that.
We are currently undergoing a complete re-design of our website and are switching to Magento ASAP (hopefully in the next 2-3 months). We have over 40,000 skus so it will be a task but we have had major issues with Volusion that it will be well worth any ranking dips we get after the switch
Good luck to you and thanks for all of your help!

No problem. Also I just visited your site, your right sidebar is showing up in the middle of the page when you scroll down.
Also, you should not use Volusion, they are horrible. For a small volume or local business, I guess its not that bad but if you are planning on expanding, I say leave them now while you still can.
I'd suggest Magento, hosting is cheaper. Volusion rips people off with the bandwidth limitations. I get charged 100-200 extra a month for bandwidth limitation, I am trying to move to Magento but currently don't have enough time to input 2000 products with customized descriptions and titles.

Thanks William - I entered the domain without the www. for some reason.
I appreciate your help!

What "Link Analysis" are you talking about? I'm looking around and can't see what you are referring to.
You might or should contact SEOmoz if this is part of the tool set.
What I think you are referring to is on the 'Campaign' tab and then bottom where it says competitive link analysis. If this is the case, you might have entered the wrong domain.
i.e.
These both domains could be the same root domain but will have a different page authority and domain authority. You might have the non-homepage set up in your Campaign settings, and on OSE, you are searching your exact domain probably.
This is a guess, assuming I know what you are referring to.

Blocking Competitive Analysis Tools in robots.txt.... Worth it?
I've been considering blocking third party crawlers for a while – specifically those crawling my website for the sake of competitive analysis, such as SEMrush and Ahrefs. I'm familiar with how to do so, but when researching the question I found practically no one asking the same question. The guides I've found on what to put in your robots.txt make no mention of whether to block competitive analysis crawlers. Which makes me wonder whether this is a good idea after all. My chief concern here is rival sites going after the same search terms we target – one of our competitors in particular has an uncanny way of going after the same searches we are. I know blocking crawlers won't prevent competitors from watching our content, but it will make it slightly harder for them. Is there any major drawback I'm missing? Any big reason not to go ahead and block SEO analysis crawlers?

Why is our website ranked lower but beats most competitors in full SERP report?
We are analysing why our website ranks so low (currently position 8 in serp). We beat our competitors in most areas. Also we produce by far the most useful content. Do not buy links or do any other malpractice. We have been for a long time ranked in top 3 (well mostly 1-2) positions. In the last year we have seen a decline to position 8-10 and we are not sure why this is the case. Can anyone suggest what we should be focusing on? We are clueless. All the practices we used to "know" now seem obsolete. m8qIeyC,Kf1LLei#0

Certainty or Uncertainty of SEO / Link Building
Hey there I'm new to both SEO and Seomoz. I have this personal site I've been working on SEO wise (slowly since I started learning from 0) and I have reached a point where the only missing thing for me to do is build links. However, the competitors for my site have thousands of links. From all I've read on the web regarding SEO&LinkBuilding, including articles in this site...the old method of spamming links wherever/whenever possible is now being penalized while the practice of manual/hand-built links of higher quality and lesser quantity is rewarded. So I went ahead and approached several linkbuilding companies and one thing that struck me was the level of uncertainty regarding the chances of getting a site to get to the first page. I understand there's factors you cannot predict or control, such as what your competitors are doing on the SEO front...but ultimately, I'm curious as to how do you effectively gauge the possibility of getting to the top page of any keyword combination? Especially when dealing with clients... since apparently whoever 'guarantees' you anything is a fraud or uses blackhat techniques...how do you pitch the 'uncertainty' to the client? Likewise...how do you know if you can make it to the top page or viceversa? Cheers

Online checkers for Anchor Links ?
Okay, we are looking for online tools to check our backlinks, and anchor links top domains, etc. OSE is not working for us, because looks like , it gets updated in some months. We are looking for something, which can drag the statistics in fw hours and show up. Let me know.

Are My Links Valuable?
I have been link building for a couple months now. I am having a hard time trying to figure out which sites are even worthy of getting links from. Obviously, those that are clearly link farming, or have lots of ads throughout their site are not valuable. I use OSE, but don't know what is a good P.A or D.A. and what it means when one is much higher than the other (and if that is a bad thing). I also use compete.com to give me a general idea of the unique visitors going into a site. Any tools I can use to help evaluate the strength of specific incoming links/ specific websites? Any ideas or thoughts would be helpful. Thanks So Much, Melissa

Competitor with over 100,000 links to duplicate copy ranks well, anyone know why?
One of our competitors has over 100,000 links on Yahoo site explorer, most of them are from pages on their site with duplicate content and they don't seem to have a focus on gaining backlinks, but the site still ranks really well. Can anyone think of a reason why this duplicate content hasn't been penalised by Google?
