AM I the only one getting misleading titles in OSE?
-
I am trying to locate directories in my competitor's links using OSE. Here is the workflow I am using:
- Filter all results to external sites only, group by site, linking to any page on the domain.
- Export results to csv.
My competitor is in the web design industry. So I try to filter the titles of the pages linking to the competitor to look for titles containing directory. But when I click on the link for "Windsor Internet Web Design Hosting Ontario Canada Directory" I get a page with the title "Kitchen & Bathroom Showroom | London Ontario | Bathroom Vanity Showroom"
Are the results really this misleading?? or am I doing something wrong here?
Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi There,
Thanks for writing in. It is a bit difficult to determine exactly what may be the issue without knowing what site you are exporting the research for, but there are a couple of reasons the titles may be different. The data we provide can be a few weeks old, so the site may have changed the titles of their pages since they were indexed. Also, the pages could redirect to a different page than where the link was originally located when we indexed the page.
We just released a new index this morning, so you may want to try running your report again. If you are still seeing errors for the page titles, it will help us investigate if you can let me know the site you are research and several examples of titles that seem off. If you prefer not to provide that data in the public forum, you can email us at help@moz.com.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you are still running into any issues with the updated data.

I am also getting misleading titles occasionally. OSE sometimes picks up the title as the anchor text.
It is a little bit different than your error

Can anyone offer an example of a site or page that gets 100% or even close to that on Search Visibility?
I have a couple of sites that I manage that kill it in the SERPs and yet they get a low search visibility score from Moz Pro, I am talking 18%-19%, and another that ranks well has a search visibility score of 8.71%. I know there are factors that go into calculating the score, I am just curious if anyone is really up there.

I have a duplicate content on my Moz crawler, but google hasn't indexed those pages: do I still need to get rid of the tags?
I received an urgent error from the Moz crawler that I have duplicate content on my site due to the tags I have. For example: http://www.1forjustice.com/graves-amendment/ The real article found here: http://www.1forjustice.com/car-accident-rental-car/ I didn't think this was a big deal, because when I looked at my GWT these pages weren't indexed (picture attached). Question: should I bother fixing this from an SEO perspective? If Google isn't indexing the pages, then am I losing link juice? 6c2kxiZ

OSE - Group by Domain Export
When exporting inbound link data from OSE, it seems to lose the "group by domain" filter. Is it possible to download the data like that or do I need to filter through all the links myself? Thanks!

Is there a way to get the domain authority of a subdomain?
For example, www.storage-mart.com and us.storage-mart.com both show the same DA in OSE. I believe it's the DA of the root domain. How can I compare the DA of the 'www' and 'us' subdomains?

Why do some sites have a higher Page Authority than Domain Authority in OSE??
Hi, I have noticed when using OSE and enter a domain you very often see a higher Page Authority than Domain Authority. If someone could explain why this would happen then I would be very grateful - its my current understanding that page authority would ALWAYS be LESS THAN Domain Authority but that is not always the case (I have seen cases where PA is more than 10 higher then DA) Here's an example where PA > DA http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links.html?site=www.primelocation.com Thanks
