Q&A alert e-mails no longer contain links back to the question referenced in the e-mail
-
How does everyone feel about no longer having direct links back to questions we may have answered or asked in the e-mails?
Until just recently when somebody commented on a question you had commented on easily you were able to click a link and see if it was maybe another question for you if you had not been clear enough the first time or if you needed to give more info whatever the need you had a link directly to The question referenced in the email.
Now all I can do is click on the person's profile which unfortunately does not get me back to Q&A to reply if needed to any questions.
I have to go through all the steps again and find it strange why you guys would remove the link going straight to the question being referenced in the email.
PS I love you and look the at new e-mails they look great. This is not anything big, but it was a nice advantage, and I will happily give up for all the great stuff you guys are giving us now. However if it would not be a burden I would love to see you back in their how does everyone else feel?
Sincerely,
Thomas Von Zickell

thank you Keri!

On the first screenshot, I'm thinking that maybe images aren't loading. I'll make sure that we have links back to the question that are in text and not just images in the future, but not sure exactly when that rollout will be. Thanks for letting us know!

Hi believe this shows that it is a problem maybe with my mail host? I turned off my spam filter and answer some questions and got the same though. I don't believe Peer1 Exchange mail 1 is at to blame however I will inquire with them if you guys think that is the Reason for this however I must say I've never had an issue with email like this before.
Any thoughts are more than welcome and I have tried three or four different mail clients now. It seems like the issue might be a little bit more complex. Thank you so much for any and all help

We can look at hyperlinking the question, as we'll be doing some more tweaks to the emails.
One of the feature we did add was having the question title in the subject line, so messages about different didn't get lumped together in gmail anymore.
-
On my iPhone5 (Gmail App), it shows up fine.
-
Worth checking that. I don't collect mail on any iOS device. However I do know that we deal with a hugely disproportional number of support issues regarding mail on iOS. Being polite I would say that it "isn't particularly robust".
It is publishers responsibility to test/fix that, as it is a popular enough platform. That doesn't make it any less annoying though.
Might not me that, but that's my immediate suspicion.
-
Earlier, it was the actual question that was hyperlinked. Now, as matbennett said, it's a button. The "Go to question" button.
I hope this helps.

Very good point, could be that it made might be my mail client. Using an iPhone five and it's also not showing up as well in sparrow a Mac mail application. It could be that thank you for telling me I'm going to try a different mail.
sincerely,
Thomas

I'm looking at some recent notification emails, and they all have the link back button for me. It is a button rather than a text link now though. I wonder if it isn't rendering correctly in your mail client or something.
Out of interest - what mail client are you using?

Finding a list of all inbound links
Hello. I just used Open Site Explorer to find inbound links to a site. But it does not seem to list all inbound links. I will be changing a lot of urls on the site, and I would like to put in 301 redirects only for the pages that have links to them. Is there a way to find all inbound links and the specific pages they link to? Thank you!

No internal links showing up in OpenSiteExplorer report
Hi there A simple one. I was just looking at our site in opensiteexplorer and notice that it says we have no internal links at all: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s244/sh/dd8cc88f-fee4-4ba2-8ec0-f3f8d5c408db/8d3fc3d2aa6fc9d5406051bc91731402 Rather odd as we do. Is this a bug with OSE that anyone knows about or something else? Any ideas / thoughts gratefully received.

Discrepancy between followed links. How do you explain this?
My external followed links over time have gone from 346 in late November to 402. Total external links have gone from 400 to 457. Followed linking root domains dropped from 125 to 102 (How do I find out why?). Total Linking Root Domains Over Time dropped from 152 to 126. Linking C-Blocks dropped from 124 to 42. How did I increase my links but drop the other stuff?

How do you track new inbound links?
Hello Fellow SEOs, I've been charged with managing and tracking my company's linkbuilding efforts. I'd love to hear from others experienced in this area: -is there a way in OSE to sort links by date? -if this isn't possible, how can you tell what new links come in every month? Is this a manual process of downloading and comparing inbound links every week? This seems pretty tedious and I would love to hear what you all do and if there is a better way. I do have a Google Alert out for my company name, but that doesn't necessarily give me what I need. Thank you!

Competitive Link finder tool
I tried to use competitive link finder tool. it says that it will identify 10 most important links that my competitor get that I do not. The results that I get are inconsistent with linkscape tool. For example my competitor has a link on www lawyer-links dot info Google rank of that site is 1. Is that really one of their most important links?
