Open site explorer: error message "There was an error getting your data"
-
I"m trying out MOZ, wanting to make an informed decision (for myself and my blogging students) whether this is a useful program to buy and use. I've had no luck so far with the Open Site Explorer. Each time I try, I get the same error message, "There was an error getting your data".
I used the URL: http://writetodone.com
I asked about the problem in the chat, but my question was posed over an hour ago and is still marked 'unread'...
I"m keen to continue studying the program as I'm creating a video about MOZ. How can I make the Open Site Explorer work?
I've tried the Analytics module but it seems to take some days to get results.

Hi Dirk,
Thanks very much for jumping in here! Indeed you're correct. We are experiencing intermittent issues with OSE as a result of longer than normal query times for Mozscape API.
We are still keeping an eye and investigating this further at our end, however you're welcome to send further details of any issues you're seeing straight to us at help@moz.com
You can also keep up to date with this investigation on our Moz Health page.

Hi Mary,
Maybe a temporary glitch in OSE? I just tried the domain in OSE & I get results without problems.
rgds,
Dirk

Drop in Domain Authority across 20 sites
Hi I monitor and track 20-25 sites. I got a -1 in DA across the board this month. Has anyone else experienced this. It's possible my server/cms guys have made a global change. Has anyone at Moz or anyone in the community experienced this?

Why do my spammy backlinks still appear on my Open Site Explorer page after removal?
I used the organic spam backlink removal tactic of emailing owners of sites of spam rank 7 or higher on my page. It has been weeks since many of the harmful links were removed, yet they remain listed on my Open site Explorer page. My fear is that somehow simply getting these links removed doesn't exempt me from the potential to be penalized by Google crawlers. Does it take longer than a few weeks for these links to disappear from the Open Site Explorer, or is there something else I need to be doing? Any and all advice appreciated. Ben
