That's the URL to take you right to the OSE tool.

It's probably good to input your own site in that first field, then just click 'Compare Pages' and you can see how your site compares to 4 competitors.

How do I give a proper back-link?

Happy Sundays beautiful Moz people! So I am giving a back link to a friend of mine who has done wonderful work for my company. (he's a painter general contractor and framer who has redone some stuff on my building). I want to give him a shoutout on my blog and highlight the amazing work he's done and I want his website to get a nice boost. My Domain authority is 27 and so I wrote a blog which I never do about him and linked him in the blog. Now obviously the page authority is a 1 on my blogs. So should I be interlinking my blog page to my home page in the post? And just out of curiosity how much to your page authority matter in the back linking process? I searched on google but people only talk about how to get backlinks, and not the proper way to give them. Thanks crew. I love ya!

Should I ask sites that link to me to update links that redirect?

I have found some links to my site that go through a single 301 redirect to get to my site. Should I contact these websites to ask them to update the link, or is that not worth the time?

Is there a tool to find out our website's link in some other website?

sometimes we know our site link is there on a site but the site is so big its hard to search manually. Is there any tool which can crawl the whole site and find the page having our site link ? though I know about OSE, and we can also see backlinks from webmaster tool. But still if you know any tool where instead of seeing the whole back link profile, we can add a specific url and see our site link in that url.

I'm writing for mayor national newspapers in latin america, been featured a few major sites, and got a whole lot of links directing to muy site. I recently moved domains about a month ago from rxmagaizne.mx to rxmagazine.co. Is this the reason i'm not seeing any links ? ibIPY.png

Do No follow links from social media platforms transfer authority or value when they link to third party websites?

With social media playing a bigger role in SEO (since the Panda, Penguin updates etc) and how search engines rank sites now, does anybody know why Twitter for instance has 'no follow' when I check my client's websites under 'inbound links' on Open Site Explorer?
