I installed the SEOmoz toolbar in my Firefox and use that.  It comes from the people doing the ranking, so I hope it's the most accurate.

 

With regards to advertisers asking for links to be reduced, that is not a driving factor for me since none have asked to do so.  I had a long conversation with an advertiser on optimization and what makes a site most attractive to advertisers.  Combine his opinions with what Google itself says and I am making changes to best position my site for the future.

 

I'm just curious about mozRank and what factors into it since it seems like there is some consensus about Google, but none about moz, and they don't put out enough information to help educate us.

Sandy,

I am going to research all of the metrics that make up Mozrank.

 

Any thoughts on the Moz rank? I seem to be doing well in Google and Alexa, but I have delayed development on the Moz. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I would luv to see a Google PR one of these days, but Im guessing that is going to be awhile before it's updated again.

I'm going to repost my comment above that got buried in the discussion, as I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this. Might help us determine what actual MozRank is, and best source to get this info. Here's the comment:

Sandy - I go without the www but I'm not sure that either is better.  Just stick to one and be consistent.  I have my google webmaster tools setting my domain to the non-www and I have a redirect from the www to the non-www.

 

 

How did you do this?  Step by step pls :)

As for outgoing links - certainly a prospective advertiser wants less links so they have a motivation there.  If a link is natural and informative, it's ok that's it's outgoing.  I think the SE's want this, they want real references to useful content.

I'm really trying to figure out what affects mozRank and am steadily trying to reduce outgoing links based on a number of conversations that I've had with an advertiser. 

Sandy, as we've been dropping for month I too have been working on figuring out this and other "independent" ranking systems.  No luck.  If you learn anything i'd love to learn too ...

I'd warn against taking TOO much clout into an advertiser asking you to reduce links - remember - they have the SAME access to information we do (uh, google?).  There are different trains of thought on all sorts of "strategies" from my own research (and take that w/ a grain of salt too!).  IMO an advertiser is always looking out for their best interest. 

I'm not looking at the Yakezie list for my rank.  I know that it goes up and down.  Anyway, I think that I also have to specify which domain to pull.  Which is best everyone?  With the www in front (http://www.yesiamcheap.com) or without (http://yesiamcheap.com)?
