MozBar & OSE
-
I'm doing some research for an e-commerce store, and I'm getting very different link counts from the Mozbar & Opensite explorer. Any idea why? Which is more accurate?

Hey Chris,
All of the data for both the Mozbar and OSE comes from the same index, so you shouldn't really be seeing different information between the two. Can you please let me know the URL that you are on when using the Mozbar and then the full OSE URL that the Mozbar directs you to when you click the link for the root domain stats? I am looking for the actuall opensiteexplorer.org URL, i.e. http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=www.seomoz.org. That information will help me investigate if you are experiencing a bug.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I realize this is kind of late, but yes I am click on the root domain stats on the mozbar that is taking me to OSE.

Are you using the exact same URL on both? Including whether it has www, trailing slash, etc?

301 Redirect & Canonical Tags
If I have URL A and need to 301 Redirect to URL B but want to have a canonical tag on URL B pointing to URL A Would this be considered cloaking? My server which runs .net 3.5 does not allow me to do URL re-writes.

How Old is OSE link data?
I ran an anchor text report for my client today, which shows that their site has some incoming comment spam links using totally unrelated phrases (pharma products). However, when looking for the live link, the linking page no longer contains the link to them. Maybe the webmasters removed these, but I can't track down a single one... how old is this data? thanks

Several DA 70+ websites linked to me, not showing in OSE
Like the title says, about 3 weeks ago several websites linked to me. Those websites have very high and probably 100% of this board has heard of them. I'm wondering how long it takes for OSE to recognize these links, and if my website's DA and mozTrust will increase as a result?

OSE shows 118 FB shares but we show more, whats wrong here?
I ran www.lauriloewenberg.com/ in OSE and it shows 118 Facebook shares while we see more than that. Maybe we are doing something wrong or a setting isn't correct, I'm not sure. The site was created in WordPress. Here are 3 posts that add up to 224 shares: Post 1 114 shares Post 2 64 shares Post 3 46 shares I'm sure there are some people that are sharing multiple posts, Will that make a difference? Even if that was true the number still seems very low. Thanks 🙂
