Spam Score and crawling of my site
- 
					
					
					
					
 Hello, I'm trying to analyze the spam score of my site which is 9/17 Actually I have few backlinks and all of them have a low spam score (max 4/17, just one). I think there's some kind of issue with the crawler since I get strange spam factors: - 
Large Site with Few Links (likely true, I recently deleted a lot of tags used once) 
- 
Low Number of Pages Found (wasn't it a "Large Site"??) 
- 
Low Number of Internal Links (I got a considerable number) 
- 
No Contact Info (I have a link to my facebook in the menu and a "contacts" page) 
- 
Thin Content (It's just a blog with min 300 words per post, why thin?) 
- 
Site Link Diversity is Low (likely true) 
- 
Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Subdomains (likely true) 
- 
Low MozTrust or MozRank Score (true) 
- 
Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Domains (likely true) 
 Can you please help me to understand it, is it a crawling problem or similar? If needed I will post the url of the website. Thank you so much Marco

		Unsolved Why am I not seeing search.yahoo.com in my site's backlink profile?
 When looking at the backlinks for a client's competitor I found that they had a backlink on search.yahoo.com/reviews and our domain (harmonyhit.com) did not. I was using the Link Explorer tool. However, when I go to yahoo Search I see that the website of harmonyhit.com is indexed in Yahoo search and has links to the site. Also, it's sitemap has been recently crawled in Bing webmaster tools which Yahoo uses. Why does our client have the backlink accounted for and we do not? Link Explorer | | DigitalThirdCoast0

		Open Site Explore page titles show as "No Title"
 This has been asked many times but I cannot find an answer. On Open Site Explorer, most URLs I enter show as "No title" which means you have to hover over the URL to see which page is being referred to. I know you'd want an example, so here's your own site Moz.com 🙂 CWrkxZQ Link Explorer | | clifra0

		What does "Number of Linking Root Domains" in Open Site Explorer actually mean?
 I've read through the forum, but I'm confused as to what "Number of Linking Root Domains" means in the Linking Domains report. For example, if the root domain is Moz.com and the number is 135,000 does that mean there are 135,000 links from Moz pointing back to my site or does it mean there are 135,000 sites linking back to Moz? Any help is appreciated. Thank you! Link Explorer | | karrabarron1

		Crawling and Links - Showing Links
 Hello I have a campaign in Moz that shows a new site as having no domain authority and no links. The site does have links to it, but they don't show up on OSE. Does Moz count links in the comments section of blogs (or is this counted as social, when the commenting system is one that requires facebook login?) I know blog comments are not great for SEO, I just use them when the post/link is 100% genuinely relevant. The site does have actual links on websites not just comment links, so it isn't showing any type of link. What is the best way to see the links the site has? Thanks!

		Do other sites linking to my page with a low domain authority affect my rankings?
 Hello, my page authority 30, I see other page with an authority of 21 for example linking to us. Is this good or bad, does this affect our ranking? A lot of these don't have anchor text, I'm guessing we should reach out to these webmaster to include anchor text with the keywords we want to drive traffic to this page or make as descriptive as possible? Thanks! Laura Link Explorer | | lauramrobinson320

		Moz crawling bot
 Hi guys, in OpenSiteExplorer -> Top Pages, there are no page titles displayed in a raport for certain domain, and "HTTP Status" column shows: "Blocked by robots.txt". I tried to find out what the ID of Moz crawling bot is, and on this page: http://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/community/q/seomoz-spider-bot-details someone says it's: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; rogerBot/1.0; http://www.seomoz.org/dp/rogerbot). However, my robots.txt doesn't have such entry. Take a look: Automatically banned scanners and crawlers section User-agent: 008 Disallow: / user-agent: AhrefsBot Disallow: / User-agent: MJ12bot Disallow: / User-agent: metajobbot Disallow: / User-agent: Exabot Disallow: / User-agent: Ezooms Disallow: / User-agent: fyberspider Disallow: / User-agent: dotbot Disallow: / User-agent: MojeekBot Disallow: / Section end What could be the problem here, then? Why does the Moz bot think I'm blocking it? Link Explorer | | superseopl0
