Open Site Explorer detects links from a site that redirects to it? How is this possible?
-
I was checking external links to a site: scte-brasilien.de/ and was wondering why there are so many links pointing from another domain (reisen-nach-brasilien.com/) although it redirects to scte-brasilien.de/?
So when checking the redirecting domain OSE knows its redirecting...
The URL you've entered redirects to another URL. We're showing results for scte-brasilien.de/ since it is likely to have more accurate link metrics. See data forreisen-nach-brasilien.com/ instead?
How is this possible?
best regards

Hi Holger,
It seems to me that you have a permanent 301 redirect error on your server. Or somebody has hijacked your DNS. You may want to check both things very soon.
Check your robots.txt file
Check your DNS settings make sure you're a record is not pointing to http://scte-brasilien.de/
Is either your DNS or your server I would call your hosting company and have it checked out.
Sincerely,
Thomas

Ryan,
in my advanced report I receive these links: please see screenshot below & report here
And please help me with these issues too:
-
In the Column "Page Authority" there is sometimes is no value and in my case "Expeditions"... (may be this is an error because I must replace always " , " with " ** ; **" because I have a german Excel version and changing it via the system option does not work. So may be that here occur these errors.)
-
the column "Origin" sometimes give me the values like: 193,57,36 or 30 and at the Target URL "External" instead of the URL.
-
also the column "Link Equity" contains sometimes an URL and "301" = Yes
is this all caused by Excel? If yes, is there an alternative software that reads csv-files correctly?
Thank you!!

Hey Holger,
Thanks for the question! I took a look at the report for scte-brasilien.de and reisen-nach-brasilien.com, and the only links to scte from reisen are the 301 redirects. You can look at the screenshot here: http://www.screencast.com/t/7K6jmevRuw

The server gives OSE a code like 200 (all ok) or 301permanent redrect

Question on redirect and internal link count
After crawl I saw that dup content came from domain.com/index.php and domain.com. I was going to redirect one of them but im curious which way to go. The /index.php has domain auth of 19, the other 17, so not big difference. Domain.com has 2 external linking domains and index.php has 1. The big difference is in the internal link counts where index.php has 76 and the other only 4. So should I direct index.php to / or the other way around?

How do you check the outbound links of a site?
There are great tools like http://www.opensiteexplorer.org that will tell you all about the inbound links. What about the more basic and easier question: What outgoing links does this site have?

More than 100 links
Hi Everyone, I was trawling through You Tube and came across this video from Matt Cuts from Google about the 100 links limit being removed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6g5hoBYlf0&feature=relmfu I then logged into my SEO account as I remember a previous report we did for a competitor where they had quite a number of pages just over the 100 links, but only barely (They are highlighted in SEOmoz as a warning). Given that google has removed this number from their guidelines and it's clear that a few over 100 isn't as bad as it used to be, is it not about time this was changed or looked at again? Maybe even put ones like these under a new title such as recommendation rather that the alarmist Warning one unless it's ridiculously high? I wonder if the SEOmoz team can also find out a better range figure for it instead of the outdated 100? Regards Alan watch?v=l6g5hoBYlf0&feature=relmfu

Open Site Explorer results vs. Google Webmaster Tools results
I've been comparing the links to my domain that OSE and GWT show and GWT shows many more links than OSE. Can anyone explain the difference? Does Google report no follow links that OSE does not?

Why Is SEOMOZ No Longer crawling All Of My Site
Hi all, I joined Seomoz over a month ago and Roger has been crawling all of the pages on the site approx 20 pages. Through out the last few weeks I have been working on the errors and notices identified by Roger. However, this week Roger has only re-crawled 1 page and is not picking up all the other pages. Has any one come across this problem. can you recommend any thing to resolve it? Many thanks in advance....

How accurate is Open Site Explorer?
I noticed for one of my sites, a large number of links do not show up in Open Site Explorer, including some of my stronger links. That being the case, how much weight can I put on using these tools to compare sites? I'm not trying to bash here, I really like the tools but if my PA is 29 and my competition is 34, how much weight can I put on these numbers? Or if it says my site has 50 links from 25 domains and my competition has 60 links from 30 domains, these numbers obviously aren't very accurate? So how much weight can I put on these comparisons? Are there better tools?
