Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Matt! Glad to know someone else had this question. It's been a head scratcher for me for a while.

Is there any rhyme or reason to the order of urls in the SEOMoz crawl report, or are the urls just listed in random order?

Thanks Cyrus! I think you answered another question for me on Market Motive as well. You must be my SEO guardian angel. Are you a grad of Todd's program?

Hello,

I am trying to understand the link profile of my site. In the competitive analysis from SEOMoz, it shows 22K+ of links, with about 900+ being external followed links and 800+ internal.

Webmaster tools shows a similar number of external followed links, but the link report from OSE only shows about 150 external followed links.

This brings up several questions:

Where is this 22K total links coming from?

Why is there such a difference in the SEOMoz competitive analysis and the OSE report?

Why does the OSE report show some links as not followed, while Webmaster tools lists them as followed?

Am new to the off-page aspects of SEO, and I have to say the discrepancy in data from different tools is by far the most challenging thing for me. Would welcome general advice on this topic as well.

Thank you!
