In OpenSiteExplorer, why is HTTPS not an option?
-
Our website (https://www.guardly.com) is using secure HTTPS protocols. For whatever reason, in the "Top Pages" section, OpenSiteExplorer only has pages that were online years ago and hasn't updated its index to retrieve index and show links for HTTPS pages. It's pretty frustrating as we are trying to optimize our website and it's really hard to get feedback/data from the service for new pages on our website. Any comments/thoughts would be really helpful.

It seems Moz completed the required engineering work and the index will build up in the upcoming months.

Hi RKG-Dev -
When we release this you will be able to retrieve https URLs and associated metrics from the API in the same way you currently retrieve http metrics. We will be crawling https URLs at the same time we crawl http URLs so they will be available on the same dates.

As I understand it, the HTTPS crawl data will work it's way into the indexes iteratively over time, and this should start in one of the next few indexes. This means that we should have better and better secure site representation over the next few months. I'll try and keep this thread posted as we see uptake with this.
With regard to the SERP analysis reports, if you are asking about metrics for https pages, this will come along for the ride, as will access via the API, campaigns, and OSE.

Quoting Megan from SEOMoz:
"Hi Peekabo!
This is Megan from the SEOmoz Help Team. Unfortunately, OpenSiteExplorer does not support https at this time. Sorry about that! This also means that any metrics that are gathered by our Mozscape Index (the index for OSE) are going to be for the http version of the site, which includes Page Authority. We hope to support https sites in OSE at some point, but it's probably still a ways out. We'll update this feature request thread as soon as this feature is available, so you can keep an eye on it: https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/20770156-open-site-explorer-to-crawl-https

No page authority for https and www versions
In Moz page onsite explorer, I'm getting a page rank of 1 for https://productcategory, and www./productcategory, but for the non-www version, I have a page rank of 33. The DA for each link is 25 Google is indexing my https:// version of my site (with the page rank of 1). Could this be why I'm getting outranked by my competitors (who have no content on their page, no links, and a lower domain and page authority than me?) Does this indicate some kind of issue with my redirections or settings in google search console? I would love to know how to fix this if it could be causing issues Thanks

Mozbar SERP Control Panel Help: Export Results Option Not Available
Hi everyone. For some strange reason, the "Export" option is no longer appearing in my SERP Control panel when trying to export results from the SERP Overlay. It worked fine before SEOMoz changed over to Moz, but now the option is no longer available. Is there something I can do to restore this feature?

Ranktracker entire subdomain option
About http://ranktracker.seomoz.org ... if I search on Google for "my phrase" I can see **www.**mysite.com on first place Doesn't this mean that I should see a similar position on ranktracker if I type "http://mysite.com" (without www) and I select the "Entire Subdomain" radio button ? Because this shows that I am NOT in top 50. It does show up if I type my site with www and I select eider "entire subdomain" or "exact url" radio button. Thank you.

How to get the total external links to a page and total external links to the domain using Mozscape API? I could not see an option in the bit flags
Hi, I was trying to get the data for total external links to a page and total external links to the domain using Mozscape API but I can't see a bit flag which can do that. There are bit flags for external followed links to a page and external followed links to a domain but I wanted the total external links data, is there a way to do that using Mozscape API else I would end up copying the data manually from OSE which would be cumbersome and time consuming. Your help is highly appreciated.

Haver ever seen opensiteexplorer be way off?
What is the deal with this: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.selfstoragestartup.com Based on the links it is showing, there is no way in hell that it should have a domain authority that high. What am i missing here? There is practically nothing on this site, and hardly any backlinks, yet OSE thinks it has a huge PA and DA!?

OpenSiteExplorer is not seeing all my inbound links
I know I have back links to my site from about 5 or 6 websites and most of them even show in my Google webmaster account but according to OSE I only have 1 inbound link. Is it normal for the OSE stats to be wrong? I really want to use it but am worried the info isn't going to be accurate.

SEOmoz Toolbar vs. Opensiteexplorer
Dumb question, why is the SEOmoz Toolbar reporting vastly different data than opensitexplorer? I had assumed they pulled from the same data set. False assumption? Am I misinterpreting the metrics? The discrepancies with which I am most confused are differences in number of root linking domains between OSE and Toolbar. Please enlighten me.
