Is opensiteexplorer down?
-
I've not been able to access opensiteexplorer.org for a couple of hours now, the front page says "it looks like something went south... we have been informed" etc.
Can somebody please answer the following for me?
- Is anyone else having experiencing this or is it me?
- Is there anywhere on this site that shows service status for these things?
- Does this happen often?
Thanks
Steve

OSE being down was actually not related to the delay in the index. It was related to the severe weather in Virginia that took out some of Amazon's cloud servers (the same reason Instagram, Netflix, Pinterest, Raven Tools, and a bunch of other sites were down last night).
We did update our Twitter feed as soon as we were aware of the outage, though I see we didn't update the known issues page (which has a link from the SEOmoz pro dashboard). I'll mention that to the team as we do our evaluation of this downtime.
Typically we keep Twitter updated when we're having any type of outage, maintenance, or see anything wonky possibly going on.

Ok, cheers for the info

yep, it is down. From what I understand they are trying to fix some bug - you can read about it at

No it does not happen too often - never seen it down before personally but I suppose as with any software - oops things can happen. This outage is more of an oops thing rather then chronic problem.

Discrepancy between backlinks (opensiteexplorer vs. search console)
Hey there, when I check in search console for "Links to your site" and "your most linked content" I see incoming links pointing to the wrong (country and language) subdirectory? When I check those same backlinks with opensiteexplorer they seem to point (after redirects) to the correct subdirectory. Anyone out there with similar experiences or thoughts on this? I would be happy to give access to search console if you wanted to have a look at this.

How do OpensiteExplorer handle HTTPS pages?
For historical reason my entire site (https://www.banknorwegian.no ) is in )HTTPS. I am trying to use opensiteexplorer to get a linkprofile. But then I only get the links that point to www.banknorwegian.no (without https://) . Is it possible to use it for https pages? Also, I assume some of the same problem arise when I use the keyword difficulty tool. The pages I have show up in the result, but they have a Page Authority that has to be made from just links to the http version.

Haver ever seen opensiteexplorer be way off?
What is the deal with this: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.selfstoragestartup.com Based on the links it is showing, there is no way in hell that it should have a domain authority that high. What am i missing here? There is practically nothing on this site, and hardly any backlinks, yet OSE thinks it has a huge PA and DA!?

OpenSiteExplorer is not seeing all my inbound links
I know I have back links to my site from about 5 or 6 websites and most of them even show in my Google webmaster account but according to OSE I only have 1 inbound link. Is it normal for the OSE stats to be wrong? I really want to use it but am worried the info isn't going to be accurate.
