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

Why would my site return an error when using Open Site Explorer to crawl it?
I have built several new sites over the last few months for others, but recently built a new one for myself. I have gone through most of the checklists from this site to address on-page SEO, and now I am looking at link building. When using Open Site Explorer, I receive an error saying that no information about the URL is available, even when I add competitor sites. Wondering if this is a common issue and if there is a convenient remedy? thanks!

Inbound Link Discrepancy: Campaign vs Open Site Explorer
Hello, I am getting starkly different inbound link amounts from Open Site Explorer and my Campaigns tab. Domain 1
Moz Pro | | truckguy77
Campaigns: Total links = 10,895,942 Open Site Explorer - Links = 224,000 Domain 2
Campaigns: Total links = 25,670,287
Open Site Explorer - Links = 157,000 Why would these be so different? For reference, the "Historical Domain Analysis" shows these sites getting exponentially more links starting in February. This is of concern to me. I didn't do anything different in February to get so many more links (especially not in the millions). If anything, I am hoping the "Campaigns" section is simply wrong about this.0 -
Is anybody else having great difficulty in finding good link opportunities on Open Site Explorer?
I've been using OSE for a while now, and I'm struggling to see any value in it. When I search my competitors link profiles, I find just hundreds and hundreds of crappy reciprocal links, splogs or the like. I have to go through days and days (thousands of links) before I find anything worth using. Is anybody having this sort of problem? Thanks

What analysis exists for Out Bound Links (OBL) from your site
Hi Maybe I am missing this but I can''t seem to see it. I am doing some analysis on a client's site and want to get a csv list of links from the client's site to external sites. So what I am looking for is a list of Out Bound Links (OBL) from the client's site. I want to run these past a black list / bad link neighborhood checking script I have. This would actually be a nice feature in SEO Moz Pro, unless it actually already does and I am just missing it or not setting filters correctly. Thanks Trevor

When does Open Site Explorer automatically follow a redirect?
Does anyone know what determines when Open Site Explorer will ask if you meant to type in the redirected URL or when it will automatically change the URL to the www version. example of a site I get asked the redirect question: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/comparisons.html?site=checkbook.org Oh Hey! It looks like that URL redirects to www.checkbook.org/. Would you like to see data for <a class="clickable redirects">that URL instead</a>? example of a site that redirects automatically: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/comparisons.html?site=healthleap.com

Open Site Explorer missing links
Hi, When the update of Open Site Explorer was released I noticed that the new version was missing a huge amount of links that the old version previously found. This still seems to be the case and it's pretty frustrating as we use the tool for our clients. Is this something that everybody is seeing and if so SEOMoz when do you think you'll have a solution? Many thanks
