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

BOTW links not recognized by Open Site Explorer
Hi there, I was wondering if I buy a submission to the Best of the Web directory (waiting for the new directory list promised by the seomoz team 🙂 ) but when I get to the category on BOTW website that will fit for my website, I took some links already there and put them on open site explorer to see their value, I had the surprise they are not even recognized... So I am still wondering if it is worth or not... voilà , if anybody knows if this directory still has value...
