Is It Necessary to Remove The Inbound links With Spammy Score?
-
Hi Friends,
I am new to this community. I just checked my inbound links using Moz tool and I came to know that there are some inbound links with spammy score. So, should I remove those links using disavow tool? Awaiting for the reply.

Thanks friends, for your reply. As you said, I will also make a deep analysis in to those spammy links manually. If I feel really those links are spam then will get rid off them.

Moz is great for 1000's of links. However where possible each link to your site should be examined and spammy links removed. An easy way to get uplift for clients is a link de-tox.
The moz scores are guides and on occasions I see a 7 next to a link I worked really hard to get that benefits the site.
So my view is - use moz as a guide but overall use your own intuition. If you have not done a link de-tox for a while, no doubt a link audit is needed. If the links that Moz flags - you know are good links - then take no action. Conversely you will likely find links that Moz has not "flagged" which should be disavowed.
Hope that assists.

It depends. Analyse the links for yourself. Why do they get a high spam score and are they really spammy links?
Some links with a high spam score can still give you a great value. But in most cases I would choose to get rid of them.
How is your site ranking at the moment? Removing spammy links could have a positive effect but could also have a negative effect. Keep this in mind when your site currently scores high in the rankings.

Why did my DA and Links go down?
How could I begin to research this to find out why we have less total links and a lower domain authority. Our DA has gone down two points and our total links dropped by a few thousand. I'd like to find out why that happened but I'm just not sure where to start. Thanks!

Too many on-page links
I received a warning in my most recent report for too many on-page links for the following page: http://www.fateyes.com/blog/. I can't figure out why this would be. I am counting between 60-70 including all pull downs, "read more's", archive, category and a few additional misc. links. Any ideas or suggestions on this? Or what I might do to rectify? Perhaps it's just an SEOmoz report blip... We currently don't have the post list rolling to additional pages so it's kind of passively set up to be endless, but it's in the works.

Open Site Explorer Link Metrics
I'm new to SEOMOZ. I have a Pro account and have been messing with the tools available. I ran a report in Open Site Explorer on one of my prospects. I also entered in several of their competitors to see how they rank. I would like to show the report to my prospective client but couldn't figure out how to download the information. Is that info available for download? Does anyone have a recommendation for showing prospects how they rank against their competitors. Any help appreciated.

Competitive Link Analysis not showing links.
Hate asking such a vague question, but my SEOMoz link analysis report is not showing any backlinks for a client of mine. I loaded the information the same way I did my other clients, which show all links. www.domain.com is being forwarded properly to domain.com. I know there are backlinks because I put many of them there myself over the last couple of months. Clearly this is affecting my Moz score. Not sure how to troubleshoot this. Can anyone offer suggestions? Grazie mille! Regards, Dino

Keyword Difficulty Score Not Available
What exactly does this mean? That the service is down? Or the score will never be available? It seems like I get that and then the tool gets stuck and I get no other data.

Compare link metrics - What time frame is this in?
Hi, I'm comparing three sites and one of them I know is quite popular however a few of the social statistics are puzzling me; they've got a small amount of Facebook likes and times shared on twitter - Which just can't be right if it's all time. What's the time frame of this data? The last three months or? Thanks, Dan

Link Blocks
Sorry, perhaps a noob question. In relation to site explorer, have also searched and unable to find any information, wondered if anyone could advise as to what "Linking C Blocks" are? Found under the "Compare Link Metrics" tab. Thanks in advance. Lee
