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

My site links to my clients not showing in Moz
I've got a web design business with a site that's been out there for 17 years - www.biztoolsone.com. I've got links to my clients' sites in my portfolio page. The backlinks list for my clients, when I check them in Moz, don't show the links from this site. They always showed in the list until a few months ago. The site has a DA of 59 & PA (for home page) of 50. The spam score is 0/17. I'm having a tough time telling my clients that the Moz backlinks list is accurate when that site doesn't show in the list. The same is true for www.fayettevillenc.biz - this is one I created years ago to generate backlinks. It's got a spam score of 4/17, so I'm a little more understanding of that one. Thanks for any guidance!

Open Site Explorer: Error receiving data
Hi, When searching many URLs in Open Site Explorer, we seem to be getting the same "There was an error getting your data" message come up instead of the URL's metrics and inbound links. We have tried on different browsers as well, and the same issue results. Is there a reason for this or a way to fix this? Thank you! voPdqF5.png?1

Can you compare social profiles (FB, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin) for sites - in a similar way you can compare sites using OSE
Can you compare social profiles (FB, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin) for competitors sites - in a similar way to how you can compare sites stats - (DA, PA, Backlinks etc) using OSE's compare tool?

Open Site Explorer Question
Hello Mozers. It has been a while 🙂 OK - I run an open site explorer report, toggle over to 'Linking Domains' because I am more interested in the number of actual websites that link to my client rather than the number of links my client has (and of course what websites are linking) and although I have been doing this for years there is one little thing I am a bit confused about. The report shows (from left to right) the 'Linking Root Domain", the "Domain Authority" for the linking domain and then the 'Number of Linking Root Domains" for each 'Linking Root Domain" My question is (rather stupid, I am sure) is the number of linking root domains for each linking root domain the number of websites linking to them OR the number of websites to which they link?

I started this website about 2 months ago, www.guyetteroofing.com. I know it still needs a lot of work, but I can't find any information on it on the site explorer tool.

Open site explorer
Hi, I am a little confused how open site explorer updates (not sure its working as aspected). It shows the recent discovered links but these then disappear and do not show in the main list (Inbound links) after a few days. Plus the links in the inbound links tab has not changed for nearly 10 weeks, my other tools are showing the new links..... Does it update on a certain data, if so where can i check the status? Thanks
