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,

Thank you very much Dmitrii for help. Thanks for pointing out redirects.
I will pass this onto my developer.
Thank you,

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.

Inbound Link checking gets different answers
I've been comparing the inbound links report from Open Site Explorer against other backlink services and the results are very different. E.g. Compare the domain on http://backlinkwatch.com/ When I ran my test this other service found about 30% more active backlinks...why would Open Site Explorer skip those results?

Does Open Site Explorer recognise nofollow links?
In the backlink profile for my site on OSE, I'm seeing a lot of links that are paid advetorials and I know go through DoubleClick. I was informed that links going through Doubleclick automatically become NoFollow links. If the above is true, should I ignore these links? If they are NoFollow, they don't really contribute to my backlink profile? THANKS!

What is the difference between a "Just Discovered" link and an "Established" link in OSE?
What is the difference between a "Just Discovered" link and an "Established" link in OSE? How long does it generally take for a just discovered link to migrate in to the established link section? Are there other parameters that need to be met before a link can be referred to as established? Sorry for all the questions in one post, but I've had the same "just discovered" links in OSE for quite some time and have yet to see them migrate over to the "established" link section. I was hoping that when these links become established that it would help improve my site DA. Can anyone shed any light on this issue or have any other comments? Thanks MOZ!
