How Do I Interpret Data From "Competitive Link Finder" Search Results?
-
Ok, I'm a beginner here. A few basic questions:
I ran a "competitive link finder" search.
1. What does "Subdomain mR" mean?
2. What does Subdomain mT mean?
3. What do the scores in each column mean? Example 8.7 under Subdomain mR.
4. How do I interpret this?
thanks for your help!

Do you hire yourself out? I need someone to look at the reports I've been running cuz I have no idea how to interpret them.
I also need someone to guide me in my offsite SEO efforts. I will do all the work (writing articles, submitting them, blogging, etc). I just need someone to coach me in "best practices."
Are you interested?

SEO guy is probs the best way of putting it! Though I've owned / been in charge of a few websites in the past..

Ok, cool. Thanks.
Are you a webmaster? Or an SEO guy?

Sure no probs!
A domain is basically a website. A subdomain is a domain which is part of another larger domain.
So for example you've got the domain yahoo.com and subdomain search.yahoo.com. They're websites in themselves but the they're interconnected. MozTrust etc refers to subdomains because it's a more specific answer than referring to domains (which may have multiple subdomains on them)
-
Awesome! Thanks Devin!
Can you tell me what the difference is between a domain and a subdomain?

Hi Dan,
1. mR means MozRank - This is a number between 1-10 which refers to the popularity/power of the links to the site. It is calculated in a similar way to Googles PageRank
2. mT means MozTrust - This is, again, provided as a number between 1-10. It refers to the distance your subdomain is from a trusted domain. For example, how many link 'hops' are you away from a site like About.com (or any other big, trusted brand name). How sure is Google that you are not a spam website? The higher the score, the better.
3. The scores are on a logarithmic scale. Not gonna lie, logarithms confuse the heck outta me, and your best bet is probably googling 'what is a logarithm'
4. The closer the scores are to 10, the better. 8.7 mT or mR, for example would be a highly trusted domain. If you've got sites with scores like that you're probably doing quite well. A score of 1 represents a site with no links or authority or anything, so you can judge in your head the value from there.
Hope that answers your question.

Losing links

Keyword data archiving
Hi all, With the limit on the keyword counts, I'm not sure how people are going about collecting data for larger keyword sets? I initially thought to alternate my keywords monthly but can't seem to archive the results. Any thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks

Duplicate Errors found in my search
I have run my 1st site check with SEOMOZ and have 4000+ errors. The "duplicate Page Content" culprit appears to be a extended url that keeps showing as duplicating. This is only a customer log-in and can be redirected back to the main cust log in page, but is there a short way of doing it (rather than 4000x 301's)? The format of the url is: http://www.????.com.au/default/customer/account/login/referer/aSR0cDovL3d3dy1234YWNiYW Thanks

Open Site Explorer - Link Export Not Showing Same Number of Links
Noob question. I'm using Open Site Explorer to hunt down some external links for a website. In the attached image (post-pressing the filter button), it says I have 889 external links, but after I've downloaded the CSV, I only get 695 links. Why the difference in number? And if I'm doing something wrong, how do I make sure I'm getting the full amount of external links to my client's website? Thanks! GG6wURf.jpg

Where is the best place to add links on my site?
If I'd like to put links to other sites in my site, is it better to have a page named "Our Helpful Links" etc. instead of just adding them to the bottom of an existing page like I've seen on some sites? I'm asking because I'm wanting to make Google as happy as possible and still add them. Just in case it helps to look at the site yourself to give advise its; http://www.allstatetransmission.net If you see anything else there that I should work on feel free to be hard on it, I value any criticism. Thanks, Jeff

Competitive Domain Analysis Question
When looking at the Competitive Domain Analysis I noticed that I am the only one amongst my competitors that does not have a link from DMOZ. The problem is, I do have a link from them. When you search for my site on dmoz.org you can find my site and it has been that way for quite a while. Anyone know any possible reasons it may be doing this?
