Comparing with Open Site Explorer

[Hughescov]

Hi,

I am trying to compare a website that has a url of e.g. https://mysite.com on Open Site Explorer. Any idea how to do this?

It will only compare it when I use www and it also doesn't accept https.

So I am comparing www.mysite.com which has redirects on it https://mysite.com but I am worried it's not comparing the right stats?

If this makes sense and you can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Thanks for your response.

Hi Shaun,

Currently, OSE doesn't fully support https, so it's possible your link metrics may be skewed. That said, if your backlinks come from primarily http sites, and point to the http version, you will still see these link metrics reported in OSE.

OSE should be able to handle https within a couple of months - Rand has said it's a high priority for the engineering team. In the meantime, if it's important, you might try Majestic.

Hope this helps. Best of luck with your SEO!

http:// is automatically added to any address you put into OSE.

If there is a redirect from one page to another then OSE will automatically show the data for the page that is redirected to (the main page).

However there is a yellow box that appears above the link data that will give you the option of exploring the data for the redirected page.

Make sense?
