Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Dan,

Thanks for the clarification. I will seek out a plugin today that will get us the proper tags.

Jennifer,

I have read this post and the one you referenced above but I'm still confused...

Dan stated: OSE is showing shares of your homepage (118 shares / 57 likes) - you need to enter each individual page URL to get shares/likes for that page. Running your first page "Post 1" URL in OSE shows 35 shares / 13 likes.

I understand that you have to run each page/post.

Our Post 1 shows 113 FB shares, is this because I am not communicating with FB correctly? Dan days I need the FB API which I looked at and it seemed confusing .

The post you directed me to seems to be saying that likes, comments and shares are all added together but that still doesn't add up, we have no comments on Post 1 and show 113 FB shares.

Bottom line, do I need to install or connect properly with the FB API or just expect a discrepancy between what my site shows and OSE reports?

Thanks

(I noticed this question is now marked "answered" is that because you did the Staff endorsement? I know I didn't mark it answered yet because i still wasn't clear)

Thanks Joseph,

Don't know if that would cover it since we have been gathering Shares for months on this site.

Thanks for the link!

I ran www.lauriloewenberg.com/ in OSE and it shows 118 Facebook shares while we see more than that. Maybe we are doing something wrong or a setting isn't correct, I'm not sure. The site was created in WordPress.

Here are 3 posts that add up to 224 shares:

Post 1 114 shares

Post 2 64 shares

Post 3 46 shares

I'm sure there are some people that are sharing multiple posts, Will that make a difference? Even if that was true the number still seems very low.

Thanks

Honestly, it's a bit overwhelming which is why I think we need some help to make the right moves. I will keep reading as you recommend.

Thanks so much for your responses.

Mike

And that page doesn't say "no index" so why aren't we getting any juice for that?

Another example to our other site:

LauriLoewenberg.com

This site has us linked but we don't see them in the On Site Exploreer.

I didn't see the no-index tag

Why would they do that? Don't they want the page seen on search?

Newbie so this may be SEO 101...

Quick back story: My wife Lauri is a Dream Expert who has been on over 5,000 radio shows, TV shows like Good Morning America, the Today show, the View, in major magazines and newspapers, the list goes on and on, I'm not bragging actually the opposite. Lauri barely exists online and to top it off we don't seem to be getting any "link juice" from some big sites that have linked to us.

Here is just one example of many:

Our site: theDreamZone.com

Here is a page on Dr Oz site that links to us, anchor text at top right "Click here":

When you use On site Explorer this link isn't there, what are we doing wrong?

Our plan is to build a new site (LauriTheDreamExpert.com) and get these links and many others pointing to us correctly so she can get the exposure she's earned.

Lauri was also on the Dr Oz TV show : Watch it if you like.

Thanks for any wisdom,

Mike
