Open Site Explorer detects links from a site that redirects to it? How is this possible?
-
I was checking external links to a site: scte-brasilien.de/ and was wondering why there are so many links pointing from another domain (reisen-nach-brasilien.com/) although it redirects to scte-brasilien.de/?
So when checking the redirecting domain OSE knows its redirecting...
The URL you've entered redirects to another URL. We're showing results for scte-brasilien.de/ since it is likely to have more accurate link metrics. See data forreisen-nach-brasilien.com/ instead?
How is this possible?
best regards

Hi Holger,
It seems to me that you have a permanent 301 redirect error on your server. Or somebody has hijacked your DNS. You may want to check both things very soon.
Check your robots.txt file
Check your DNS settings make sure you're a record is not pointing to http://scte-brasilien.de/
Is either your DNS or your server I would call your hosting company and have it checked out.
Sincerely,
Thomas

Ryan,
in my advanced report I receive these links: please see screenshot below & report here
And please help me with these issues too:
-
In the Column "Page Authority" there is sometimes is no value and in my case "Expeditions"... (may be this is an error because I must replace always " , " with " ** ; **" because I have a german Excel version and changing it via the system option does not work. So may be that here occur these errors.)
-
the column "Origin" sometimes give me the values like: 193,57,36 or 30 and at the Target URL "External" instead of the URL.
-
also the column "Link Equity" contains sometimes an URL and "301" = Yes
is this all caused by Excel? If yes, is there an alternative software that reads csv-files correctly?
Thank you!!

Hey Holger,
Thanks for the question! I took a look at the report for scte-brasilien.de and reisen-nach-brasilien.com, and the only links to scte from reisen are the 301 redirects. You can look at the screenshot here: http://www.screencast.com/t/7K6jmevRuw

The server gives OSE a code like 200 (all ok) or 301permanent redrect

Is it possible to see if Internal Links are in the copy, nav or footer?
I've used Open Site Explorer to crawl my site for Internal Links. However I would like to see just internal links within the copy, not in the nav or footer. Is there a way of doing so that isn't manual? Or is there another tool that would do so?

Discrepancy between followed links. How do you explain this?

Link not showing up in OSE
I created a profile in April this year on CrunchBase for my company http://www.crunchbase.com/company/wallpapered but it is not appearing in the "inbound links" of Open Site Explorer. All the other companies I have checked in OSE have their CrunchBase profile in their inbound links (many share the same Page authority as mine). Any suggestions would be really helpful. Thanks

How often is Open Site Explorer updated?
Or perhaps my question is actually how often does the seomoz bot crawl the web? I ran some benchmark link counts for a number of websites about this time last month and I noticed when I went to update them for this month the data is the same. Thanks.
