First Mozscape index of the year is live
-
I'm happy to announce, the first index of the year is out. We did have a smaller count of subdomains, but correlations are generally up and coverage of what's in Google looks better, too. We're giving that one a high five!
We've (hopefully) removed a lot of foreign and spam subdomains, which you might see reflected in your spam links section. (another woot!)
Here are some details about this index release:
- 145,549,223,632 (145 billion) URLs
- 1,356,731,650 (1 billion) subdomains
- 200,255,095 (200 million) root domains
- 1,165,625,349,576 (1.1 Trillion) links
- Followed vs nofollowed links
- 3.17% of all links found were nofollowed
- 63.49% of nofollowed links are internal
- 36.51% are external
- Rel canonical: 26.50% of all pages employ the rel=canonical tag
- The average page has 89 links on it
- 72 internal links on average
- 17 external links on average
Thanks!

Real case... almost 10 years ago SEO manager in some company was flying to their HQ just to explain why their PR was dropped from 6 to 5. C-level execs wasn't happy about that.
Now fun part - impressions, CTR and visits was increased during that update.

Great to post this at the top of the Q&A - noticed the first questions appearing today - probably many more to follow (hopefully fellow Moz'ers will read this post before posting the question).

Sitemaps and Indexed Pages
Hi guys, I created an XML sitemap and submitted it for my client last month. Now the developer of the site has also been messing around with a few things. I've noticed on my Moz site crawl that indexed pages have dropped significantly. Before I put my foot in it, I need to figure out if submitting the sitemap has caused this.. can a sitemap reduce the pages indexed? Thanks David.

January’s Mozscape Index Release Date has Been Pushed Back to Jan. 29th
With a new year brings new challenges. Unfortunately for all of us, one of those challenges manifested itself as a hardware issue within one of the Mozscape disc drives. Our team’s attempts to recover the data from the faulty drive only lead to finding corrupted files within the Index. Due to this issue we had to push the January Mozscape Index release date back to the 29<sup>th</sup>. This is not at all how we anticipated starting 2016, however hardware failures like this are an occasional reality and are also not something we see being a repeated hurdle moving forward. Our Big Data team has the new index processing and everything is looking great for the January 29<sup>th</sup> update. We never enjoy delivering bad news to our faithful community and are doing everything in our power to lessen these occurrences. Reach out with any questions or concerns.

10/14 Mozscape Index Update Details
Howdy gang, As you might have seen, we've finally been able to update the Mozscape index after many challenging technical problems in the last 40 days. However, this index has some unique qualities (most of them not ideal) that I should describe. First, this index still contains data crawled up to 100 days ago. We try to make sure that what we've crawled recently is stuff that we believe has been updated/changed, but there may be sites and pages that have changed significantly in that period that we didn't update (due to issues I've described here previously with our crawlers & schedulers). Second, many PA/DA and other metric scores will look very similar to the last index because we lost and had problems with some metrics in processing (and believe that much of what we calculated may have been erroneous). We're using metrics from the prior index (which had good correlations with Google, etc) until we can feel confident that the new ones we're calculating are correct. That should be finished by the next index, which, also, should be out much faster than this one (more on that below). Long story short on this one - if your link counts went up and you're seeing much better/new links pointing to you, but DA/PA remain unchanged, don't panic - that's due to problems on our end with calculations and will be remedied in the next index. Third - the good news is that we've found and fixed a vast array of issues (many of them hiding behind false problems we thought we had), and we now believe we'll be able to ship the next index with greater quality, greater speed, and better coverage. One thing we're now doing is taking every URL we've ever seen in Google's SERPs (via all our rank tracking, SERPscape, the corpus for the upcoming KW Explorer product, etc) and prioritizing them in Mozscape's crawl, so we expect to be matching what Google sees a bit more closely in future indices. My apologies for the delay in getting this post up - I was on a plane to London for Searchlove - should have got it up before I left.
