Facebook "likes" not showing up in Open Site Explorer
-
Hi All:
I'm dealing with a company that has 299 Facebook likes, but Open Site Explorer only shows three. I checked the NAP on Facebook and it's correct. Anyone know why this might be happening? I'm worried if Open Site Explorer is not seeing the likes, Google might not as well, for whatever reason.
Thanks!
Wes

Thanks Keri, I think that explains it. I'll brush up on my Facebook. -W

When you put your own URL into Open Site Explorer, we're looking at that URL (such as mycompany.com) and the FB likes that URL has.
What you've given me here is the URL for your Facebook page itself, which is actually a completely different site.
Hope that explains things!

Hi Keri:
Thanks for your note. Facebook confuses me a bit, so probably easier if I just send the link: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Excelsior-Roofing-Co/144912772203952
Thanks,

Hi Brittany:
Thanks very much for your note. Good to know. I'll be sure to double check those. Hope they get it fixed on open site.
Cheers,

How many likes does your page itself have in FB? We're looking at likes of your pages/posts, not of your page on the facebook.com domain.

Wes, I'm not sure about the WHY behind the discrepancy, but I monitor Open Site Explorer for multiple websites, and the Facebook likes (and social shares in general) are never accurate.

Does Moz register backlinks from Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn?
I've noticed that on sites with decent social presence and regular content posts that Moz isn't showing/recording any inbound links from Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn. Posts are regularly shared via these three channels but no inbound links ever seem to show up. Does Moz not record such inbound links, or are they all disguised using JavaScript or some other trick?

Can I change the Link Explorer from check with Google US?
I'm trying to check the ranking keywords for a specific article with the Link Explorer, but when I hover over Ranking Keywords on the Overview it tells me that it's looking on Google US. We're a UK based company and the keywords we're trying to rank for are UK based - is there a way of changing this to match?

Page Authority different between Moz Open Site Explorer and On Page analyser
I have a client who has an old URL with 3 linking root domains and 4 links, with a PA of 24. This is on the open site explorer. There is a 301 redirect in place to direct this old url to the new url. When he uses the Moz bar on page, it shows that he has a PA of only 1 with no LRDs or inbound links? Can anyone please explain why this is happening and if this could affect further page links across his site? It would be appreciated. Kind regards

Why isn't OSE showing any of my links?
My domain uses a redirect of all traffic to https. The site is https://www.tallslimtees.com. I've been working on it this year and know there are several good, topical links coming in. But OSE shows nothing. Any idea why this would be the case? How can I see all of my links and the data on them?

Why is my website providing no feedback on the Open Site Explorer?
Basically, whenever i type in my URL, http://www.locksmithplusincportlandor.com, I am presented with the following message: "It looks like we haven't discovered established link data for this URL yet." I have gone through all of the reasons why this could be, and none of them apply to my current situation. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Using OSE we've been tracking our stats and our competitors stats on a weekly basis to see how we're doing. We've noticed that since Jan 24,2014 the numbers for us and our competitors have been the EXACTLY same. What's going on with OSE? Company_01.png
