OSE is broken again
-
Getting errors all the time.
-
I'm so glad to hear that! Please do let me know if you run into any other trouble.
-
Seems to be working. Today had no problem.
-
I am so sorry that you ran into this issue again. It looks like there were some after effects of the changes we've been making to stabilize the servers for OSE. The issue should be resolved now, but please let me know if you are still experiencing problems.
-
Sorry to report that, but it's either still broken, or broken again.
Got this few times in the last couple of hours.
-
I have been using OSE over the weekend and it was still broken. Today it seems to work.
-
Thank you so much for your amazing patience! Our engineers released a fix on Friday evening and we've been monitoring the issue over the weekend. Right now, everything seems to be running smoothly again, so please take a look and let me know if you are running into any further issues with OSE.

This is actually a related issue. In order to balance some of the load on our servers, we had to slow collection for the Just Discovered Links and Freshweb tools. We believe that we will be able to backfill the data, but there will be a delay in when the data will be available.
Again, I apologize for the inconvenience this causes!

Hi Chiaryn!
Having a similar problem, however I'm missing two days of data when I use the OSE / Just Discovered tools (3/21-3/23). Wanted to flag with you just in case this is a related issue!
Thanks!

Thanks.

I just wanted to give you an update and let you know that we have made some adjustments to lighten the issues you've been encountering. You may still see some intermittent issues making queries in OSE, though they should be much less frequent, but I'm afraid we are still working on clearing out the backlog of exports this issue created. I'll let you know as soon as I have any more details.
Thanks so much for your patience while we continue to work on this.

Thanks for following up. Since this is intermittent, it definitely sounds like a load balance issue. Our engineers are looking into this now and I will let you know as soon as I have an update from them. Hopefully, we'll get this resolved soon.
I apologize for the inconvenience this is causing!

Here you have it:
It's true sometimes it works, let's say 1 out of 3 queries, my guess is a load balancer is sometimes redirecting the query to something working.
-
Hey Massimilliano,
I'm not seeing any issues when I run queries through OSE, so it would be really helpful if you could let me know exactly the error message you are seeing and the sites you are querying when you get this error? A screenshot of the error would also be helpful.
I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Change in OSE?
Hi My site http://sassandgrace.co.uk has a 301 direct from the www. version as recommended and, up until last week, OSE showed no results for the www version with a message of some kind saying about the re-direct. This week the message has disappeared and I have half my links (still v small) on www version and half on the non version. Has something changed? Should I be worried? And what, if anything, should I do? Thanks

Can't make sense of OSE and MOZ.
I checked this site on my OSE and it shows only 7 inbound links a DA of 14 and no social activity whatsoever yet when I check it on Majestic it shows ExternalBacklinks 71 ReferringDomains 20 Referring IPs 19 Referring Subnets 19 . And.. the page is #1 on google search for hypnotherapy michigan. How can it rate so poorly on MOZ, show so much more on majestic and rank so high on google? I thought MOZ data was supposed to be among the best and that top rated pages on google should also rate high on MOZ. here is the site http://hypnotherapy-detroit.com Additionally, when i look at the site, i notice that most of the backlinks are exchanged links and this site's link exchange page isn't even linked from the home page. Now I thought that kind of link exchange game was now discounted by Google. I don't get it. No social pages at all... low page rank... no new content.. so by MOZ standards there is no justification for this page to be anywhere near page one let alone at position #1. Can someone help me make sense of all this?

How can Ahrefs be better than OSE ?
Dear Sirs and Contributors, I know this question is going to cause revolution, but I am paying for a subscription to moz every single month and I see that Open Site Explorer doesn't find baacklinks for some of my new clients when aHrefs can find more than 16 !! Why is this ? How can a free tool like ahrefs give me more information than OSE for which I pay for ? ;-(

Confused about the link metrics showing up in MOZ & OSE
For my campaign "itelligence Applications" which is for site itelligencegroup.com/uk/ - MOZ seems to be giving me different stats on links, depending on which tab I look it in the Link Analysis section. Then when I look at OSE, the numbers are totally different again, not just a little bit different. Example: In MOZ Link Analysis, on the "inbound links" tab, it says there are 129 Root Domains and 6832 Total External Inbound Links. If I then look at the Competitive Metrics screen, it says there are 46,284 external followed links and 240 total linking root domains. If I then go to OSE for the same site, it says there are 14 Root Domains and 686 total links. I have no idea why these numbers vary so much or how to even report them to my client. Am I missing something here? Any help would be gratefully received! Maureen

Discrepancies between Mozbar data and OSE?
Hey everyone, I've been doing some research into keyword competition, and i've come across a few instances where the data that Mozbar provides differs pretty greatly from what open site explorer is telling me. An example: For this site: http://www.bcwsupplies.com When I have it returned in the serps, Mozbar is telling me there are 21,306 links & 218 linking root domains. But, when I check the backlink profile via OSE, it's only showing 3,020 links & 88 root domains. Can anyone shed some insight into this? Thanks!

OSE and HTTPS
It's been quite a few months since the last updates regarding HTTPS crawling of OpenSiteExplorer. https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/20770156-open-site-explorer-to-crawl-https http://moz.com/community/q/in-opensiteexplorer-why-is-https-not-an-option But, as the last update dates October 2013, is there any news in regards to the progress on this subjects? More and more sites are switching to full HTTPS and support for this has been asked and responded upon for over two years. Thanks for any updates.

OSE Export very slow
Anyone else having issues with Open Site Explorer? Been trying to export a backlink report for a website for the past 2 hours (the grey bar has been going that long). The site only has 1937 backlinks!!
