What happened to my links in Open Site Explorer.
-
Hello,
A while ago I had a problem with open site explorer saying that I had a problems with redirects on my home page. There was 302 redirect and it was giving me information from my www domain rather then from non www domain. With your awesome help, this issue is sorted now and when I type in my non www domain, it doesn't give me that weird message anymore.
I have a different issue now.
For some reason when I enter non www domain it doesn't show links from www version.
I presume that this is affecting my site authority for non www version. Does it mean that link juice was not passed on to non www version from www version? Authority dropped by two points, but I'm not sure why.
I'm more interested to know why it doesn't show my links from www version on non www version. And is that affecting my sites rankings.
Thank you,
Regards,
Armands

I have tried to ask here few times, but it is pretty hard to get any guidance on navigation issue. If you could send me some information maybe on what you charge per hour on skype consults? I totally lost in what to do with my menu navigations as I think they are a bit hot mess now. Side bar, main bar, dropdowns etc.
Thanks,
A

Sorry me again.
By any chance do you know someone very good in WP field to consult about website navigation options for desktops and mobile devices?
Thanks,

Ok, I see now.
No, you don't have to go back to www-version. What is happening to you is just a crawl delay. It takes a while for MOZbot to "realize" the redirect, especially if you have https.
Basically, just wait. It will be showing properly eventually.
P.S. I noticed you have extra redirect if i go to www.a-fotography.co.uk - it redirects to non-www first, then does another redirect to https. You can easily eliminate this in htaccess. Kinda best practice.

Thanks Dmitrii,
I used to have this message, but thought this is a bad thing and was suggested to redirect www version to non www version. My current site is non www version.
so it is a-fotografy.co.uk
Do you think I should revert this back to www version? Why would I need to do this? Bit confused.
Thanks,
A

Hi there.
Ok, so, what is supposed to be happening is after you type in your non-www version, it should give you message like this (see attachment):
You entered the URL http://regexseo.com/ which redirects to http://www.regexseo.com/. Because it's likely to have more accurate metrics, we're showing data for the redirected URL instead. Click here to analyze http://regexseo.com/ instead?
If this is not happening, make sure that your non-www version 301 redirects to www. If it does, but you have made this change recently, then you just gotta wait to allow mozbot to crawl this redirect.
As for DA drop, it can be relative. Make sure that whenever you look at DA changes, you look at competition as well. Read this post by Rand: https://moz.com/community/q/da-pa-fluctuations-how-to-interpret-apply-understand-these-ml-based-scores
Hope this helps.

Link Explorer Export
Does anyone know how to export more than 50 keywords at a time from Link Explorer? I'm trying to extract the keywords from a competitor domain to do some analysis/big data queries. I'm using the link Explorer but I can't see any way to export more than 50 keywords at a time! The total I can export seems to be around 100k but it's going to take a very long time if I've got to do 50 at a ago!

Is the Link Tracking Lists feature broken?
I used to be able to create a list of links via Link Tracking Lists and within 8 days Moz bot would visit and index the links in the Moz database. However, this no longer works. Is it broken? I have used this previously without issues, and tried several times over 20 days, but nothing. Anyone else having issues? Moz support - is this feature broken? If so, when do you envisage having it fixed? Thanks

Drop in Domain Authority across 20 sites
Hi I monitor and track 20-25 sites. I got a -1 in DA across the board this month. Has anyone else experienced this. It's possible my server/cms guys have made a global change. Has anyone at Moz or anyone in the community experienced this?

Site Mark-up is Abnormally Small
My site www.brightonsoundsystem.co.uk has been optimised for speed so I have minimised the code needed. Now if I put it through the OSE spam analysis it has a flag for "Site Mark-up is Abnormally Small". What ratio of visible text compared to mark-up code is being used to trigger this flag. Also as this is the only flag I have is ti worth the time fixing.

How to increase number of internal links
Hi all, Using Open Site Explorer and Moz, we're getting only 50 internal links and like to know why. Our site is an online store with a quite good DA (26, see attached files) comparing with competitors, and all pages are in sitemap since several months, and crawled by google. Assuming that we have more than 2000 products in our site, and more of 10000 crawled pages with a link to the home page, we can't understand how "Total internal links" returns only 50. How can we increase internal links? Perhaps we misunderstood the meaning of "Total internal links" in page metrics. What does this value exactly mean? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. wuud3Lu RRvn31p

Inbound links export report link redirect to OSE
Hi there, I have received email notification that my new inbound links CSV report is ready to export and download. I follow the OSE link but I am redirected straight back to the main page of OSE not the download. Is there a problem? Are the access problems due to the Moz.com and Research Tools Outage. reported on Moz Health? David
