    Ya that tool is showing error in gathering all the data so it is not showing the results...

    I dont think the same results are shown by any other tool,
    Something to check strength of directory is http://www.directorystrength.com/ which i just found while browsing through the forums.

    They might be removing Wikipedia links from the calculations now that they are using nofollow!

    I also think so. They are updating their algorithm I suppose.

    Wikipedia was already using nofollow and i dont think it would make a change, as link in wikipedia should be considered as a good thing and should be a factor for nice page strength.

    Might be some other changes are going on!

    Wikipedia wasn't already using nofollow, it has been in the news and everything they have just changed it. Page Strength is a search engine optimization metric, nofollow links do not help with search engine optimization so why should they count towards page strength?

    I think these site strength tools should stop using Alexa rankings in their algos. It is an inaccurate representation of traffic to one's site because it only tracks the visits of people who have installed the Alexa toolbar.

    Most visitors don't have the Alexa toolbar installed; it is primary the webmasters who do.

    It's very hard to get a .gov link. I think the only way to get one is if they find your site to be authoritative in nature and provide a true benefit to the consumers.

    Anyone have a .gov link?
