OSE is broken again
-
Getting errors all the time.
-
I'm so glad to hear that! Please do let me know if you run into any other trouble.
-
Seems to be working. Today had no problem.
-
I am so sorry that you ran into this issue again. It looks like there were some after effects of the changes we've been making to stabilize the servers for OSE. The issue should be resolved now, but please let me know if you are still experiencing problems.
-
Sorry to report that, but it's either still broken, or broken again.
Got this few times in the last couple of hours.

I have been using OSE over the weekend and it was still broken. Today it seems to work.
-
Thank you so much for your amazing patience! Our engineers released a fix on Friday evening and we've been monitoring the issue over the weekend. Right now, everything seems to be running smoothly again, so please take a look and let me know if you are running into any further issues with OSE.

This is actually a related issue. In order to balance some of the load on our servers, we had to slow collection for the Just Discovered Links and Freshweb tools. We believe that we will be able to backfill the data, but there will be a delay in when the data will be available.
Again, I apologize for the inconvenience this causes!

Hi Chiaryn!
Having a similar problem, however I'm missing two days of data when I use the OSE / Just Discovered tools (3/21-3/23). Wanted to flag with you just in case this is a related issue!
Thanks!

Thanks.

I just wanted to give you an update and let you know that we have made some adjustments to lighten the issues you've been encountering. You may still see some intermittent issues making queries in OSE, though they should be much less frequent, but I'm afraid we are still working on clearing out the backlog of exports this issue created. I'll let you know as soon as I have any more details.
Thanks so much for your patience while we continue to work on this.

Thanks for following up. Since this is intermittent, it definitely sounds like a load balance issue. Our engineers are looking into this now and I will let you know as soon as I have an update from them. Hopefully, we'll get this resolved soon.
I apologize for the inconvenience this is causing!

Here you have it:
It's true sometimes it works, let's say 1 out of 3 queries, my guess is a load balancer is sometimes redirecting the query to something working.
-
Hey Massimilliano,
I'm not seeing any issues when I run queries through OSE, so it would be really helpful if you could let me know exactly the error message you are seeing and the sites you are querying when you get this error? A screenshot of the error would also be helpful.
I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

How long will it take for the changes we've made to reflect in Moz OSE spam score data?
I signed up for Moz to see the spam flags our site had triggered. As soon as I found out, we worked on it and have been trying to correct our mistakes but it's been more than a month and we've managed to neutralise zero flags. I would appreciate if someone can clarify how long the OSE data takes to refresh. Also, how do you combat the following three specific flags: Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Subdomains Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Domains Low Number of Pages Found Crawl only gets a valid response to a small number of pages. Thanks.

Discrepancies between Mozbar data and OSE?
Hey everyone, I've been doing some research into keyword competition, and i've come across a few instances where the data that Mozbar provides differs pretty greatly from what open site explorer is telling me. An example: For this site: http://www.bcwsupplies.com When I have it returned in the serps, Mozbar is telling me there are 21,306 links & 218 linking root domains. But, when I check the backlink profile via OSE, it's only showing 3,020 links & 88 root domains. Can anyone shed some insight into this? Thanks!

OSE unavailable and Rank Tracker not refreshing
I tried to submit a help ticket, but the help tickets also are not working! OSE for at least the last 12 hours has been returning Unavailable. Also, Rank Tracker never updates and just endlessly spins. Can someone shed some light on the issue and when the solution will be implemented? Thank you

Updating OSE data
Hello Moz, I was wondering if anyone knows how Moz goes about updating their OSE data? I've been doing some link building that past couple of weeks, and I notice that the number of "just discovered" links will update every time I gain a new link, however, the "Linking domains" number doesn't (or maybe, rarely) update. I've checked through the "Linking domains" list to see if the link is there, but none of the links I've just recently obtained have shown up under that metric. Does anyone have any insight on this or is anyone experiencing the same issue? Thanks for reading!

Expired domains and OSE?
If a domain expires will it remain in OSE indefinitely and show external backlinks? Or at some point does the domain get removed from OSE?
