HubShout | Online Marketing Solutions

I ran a web grader report for one of my Reseller's clients, and I noticed there were a higher number of Root Links than External Links. This seems odd to me because on average, there is is 5 external links to every one root link. How does this happen?

First thing to check is to goto SEOMoz (Open Site Explorer dot com) and run the same query. Does it give the same answer?

(Open Site Explorer dot com) does not return the same data. It seems almost like the two numbers are juxtaposed.

That is a real bizarre one. Can we replicate this with another domain name? If not, it may be a bug in the SEOMoz API....

When I demoed this 'feature' to the client I said there were a few issues with it that will be sorted out soon ;P

I used to use seoMoz a-lot a while back and due to keep coming across strange results like these I decided to save my money and ended my contract with them. In hindsight most of the issues i came across were related to UK sites and not US ones.

I am seeing the same issue with several USA URL's where the number of root links exceeds the number of total links. URL #1 Hubshout = 8 root and 4 total links SEOMoz = 5 root and 5 total

URL#2 Hubshout = 10 root and 3 total links SEOMoz = 4 root and 137 total

So I have the same issue and it says 0 root links but SEOMoz gives another number. Is this being corrected?

Zero often means that the SEOMoz API did not respond...
