Comparing with Open Site Explorer
-
Hi,
I am trying to compare a website that has a url of e.g. https://mysite.com on Open Site Explorer. Any idea how to do this?
It will only compare it when I use www and it also doesn't accept https.
So I am comparing www.mysite.com which has redirects on it https://mysite.com but I am worried it's not comparing the right stats?
If this makes sense and you can help it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Thanks for your response.

Hi Shaun,
Currently, OSE doesn't fully support https, so it's possible your link metrics may be skewed. That said, if your backlinks come from primarily http sites, and point to the http version, you will still see these link metrics reported in OSE.
OSE should be able to handle https within a couple of months - Rand has said it's a high priority for the engineering team. In the meantime, if it's important, you might try Majestic.
Hope this helps. Best of luck with your SEO!

http:// is automatically added to any address you put into OSE.
If there is a redirect from one page to another then OSE will automatically show the data for the page that is redirected to (the main page).
However there is a yellow box that appears above the link data that will give you the option of exploring the data for the redirected page.
Make sense?

Site Crawl 4xx Errors?
Hello! When I check our website's critical crawler issues with Moz Site Crawler, I'm seeing over 1000 pages with a 4xx error. All of the pages that are showing to have a 4xx error appear to be the brand and product pages we have on our website, but with /URL at the end of each permalink. For example, we have a page on our site for a brand called Davinci. The URL is https://kannakart.com/davinci/. In the site crawler, I'm seeing the 4xx for this URL: https://kannakart.com/davinci/URL. Could this be a plugin on our site that is generating these URLs? If they're going to be an issue, I'd like to remove them. However, I'm not sure exactly where to begin. Thanks in advance for the help, -Andrew

SEO and page redirects from a high ranking site quandary
We are launching a site on a new domain that is taking the place of a group (subset) of pages in an existing domain. BUT The pages on the existing domain have really good SEO rankings in a very competitive category and we want to leverage the traffic it gets today in the best way, so.... Which of the following would be the best practice in this case (in regards to SEO)? Modify the existing pages' content so that there are prominent calls to action that lead the users to the new domain. Create permanent redirects for the existing pages for their counterparts on the new domain. This is more direct for the user but we don't know how it will affect the current ranking. Something other than the above. Many thanks for you help Gary

Site Explorer - No Data Available for this URL
Hi All I have just joined on the trial offer, im not sure if i can afford the monthly payments, but im hoping SEOmoz will show me that i also cannot afford to be without it! In my proses of learning this site and flicking through each section to see what things do. However when i enter my URL into Site Explorer i get the following message "No Data Available for this URL" My site should be crawl-able, so how do i get to see data for my site/s. I wont post my URL here, as the site has a slightly adult theme.

Two different Domain Authorities for one site?
The "Domain Authority" of my site on the "Link Analysis" section of SEOmoz Pro (34) is different to what it is on Open Site Explorer (36) - how can this be? All I can think is that one hasn't been updated yet (I'm hoping the lower one!). Elucidation gratefully received! Alex

Is there a Tool to compare Duplicate content for non web Live content?
Is there a tool that can give me % of duplicate content when comparing two pieces of content that are not Live on the web? Like copyscape but for content that may not be indexed by copyscape or not live on the web? Does Word or any other program allow you do do this?
