Shares and tweets
-
I've shared to FB and tweeted my blog many times but the Link Research & Analysis With: Open Site Explorer hasnt picked them up, does this mean Google isnt picking them up either? What am I doing wrong?

Hey Ranjit,
Open Site Explorer shows Tweets and FB shares for the URL itself. I know it can be kind of tricky, but it has nothing to do with your Facebook page. Since OSE has no idea what your Facebook page is it only searches for mentions of the URL itself.
For example. Run a report for www.seomoz.org. We obviously have way more than 139 likes for our FB page, but the URL www.seomoz.org has only been liked 139 times.
I hope that makes sense.
Cheers,
Joel. -
Thanks I understand how links etc work. I also have some FB likes on my page. However I only have one FB share and its been months now. So it must be that its not picking on the shares for some reason.

Open Site Explorer is always behind. You can use Google Webmaster Tools to download the sites linking to you.

I don't think your doing anything wrong I have hundreds of Twitter and Facebook shares, but OSE does not pick mine up either. You can see if Google picks them up by going to Google and searching your full url. http://www.yoursite.com you will probably need to go back in the results a few pages however you should start seeing them.
What I have found with the Facebook results is that people with less likes will show up first, and Google will not display all of them, but a good portion should show up.

How do I redeem a tweet from Roger?
Last week, I reached over 100 mozPoints and I've been waiting by my virtual mailbox for days for a tweet from Roger. Level mozPoints Benefits **Aspirant - ** ** - 100 - 199** ** - A tweet from Roger (the week you reach 100 MozPoints)** The past few days have been sad. I've been moping around the office feeling terribly alone, wondering why I've received no Twitter based recognition for my efforts. The radio has been playing 'Careless Whisper' on repeat and it hasn't stopped raining outside. Can anyone help? (Attached an image of my sadness for reference) fYHP3

Open Site Explorer: Facebook Shares, Likes, etc.
I don't fully understand what this means in the report for our site: http://screencast.com/t/aG5jbkYWLA here is our site: www.discountqueens.com & we have thousands of fans & facebook likes and all the time on all our posts. For example yesterday we had 73 likes on this post alone: http://www.discountqueens.com/amazon-ultimate-shrinky-dinks-jewelry-designer-1495/ So here's my questions: Is there an error in the reporting? Are we using a social sharing method that isn't giving us valid credit for these links? What should I consider doing differently & why isn't our likes, shares, tweets & Google+ being calculated into our score?

How to tell where a competitor's Facebook Shares are coming from?
Is there a way to tell where a competitor's facebook shares and likes are coming from? How to also tell what ads they have running in Facebook and their spend? I am looking at OSE's data and its telling me a competitor has 8.5K Facebook shares and 1K facebook likes. I go to their facebook page and it has about 25 likes. This site should not have anywhere close to the facebook shares/likes its receiving so wondering where they are getting their boosted traffic from.
