Why does it take so long to generate CSV reports from OSE?
-
My CSV reports are taking so long to generate, that I'm unable to deliver analysis that I need to deliver today. How can it take so long to create a CSV document for a report that took seconds to generate on screen?
How can I justify my subscription for a product that doesn't deliver? I do have to justify it. I feel so let down.

Thank you for the feedback Tim. We have added a note to OSE when you run a report that exports are running behind, as well as to the recent CSV reports page. Hopefully this will help people in this situation in the next couple of days. This morning's internal status report showed that we are getting ahead on the reports and things are starting to move a little faster now.

Thanks for the insight Michael. Keri, I understand problems do arise from time to time, it would be great to know there's a problem as early as possible to spare the time and frustration trying to export the reports - and more importantly so I can set expectations with clients and colleagues. It caught me at a time I was due to prepare some link profile analysis for a potential client, which is why I felt let down. Thanks for your responses, I do appreciate them.

We actually are running behind on exporting reports right now (I don't know the reason why right now, but there is a team working on that). It may take a few days to get everything caught up. They usually are much faster. We're in the middle of adding a message to OSE to let people know about the delay. I really do apologize for this, and realize it's a pain when something you rely on isn't working.

I can answer that question from a slightly different perspective. I worked with software that parsed varying file types and csv files were so slow to process because of their size. It was the same scenario writing to them. So i'm not at all surprised at the slowness of exporting your data to them - not really Moz's fault.

How long will it take for google to reindex 301 redirected url and refresh search results with new urls.
We have set up 301 redirects for some subdomains which we are planning to use, but then we changed our focus to main domain. Google has already crawled some of the subdomain pages. As it was duplicate content over subdomains and main domain, we have set up 301 redirects for all subdomains to redirect to the main domain. We have set up 301 redirects a month ago, but some of the search results still show old URLs. Do you need something extra for google search results to refresh with main domain and remove subdomain URLs from google searches? We need rankings to be passed new URLs.

Can't make sense of OSE and MOZ.
I checked this site on my OSE and it shows only 7 inbound links a DA of 14 and no social activity whatsoever yet when I check it on Majestic it shows ExternalBacklinks 71 ReferringDomains 20 Referring IPs 19 Referring Subnets 19 . And.. the page is #1 on google search for hypnotherapy michigan. How can it rate so poorly on MOZ, show so much more on majestic and rank so high on google? I thought MOZ data was supposed to be among the best and that top rated pages on google should also rate high on MOZ. here is the site http://hypnotherapy-detroit.com Additionally, when i look at the site, i notice that most of the backlinks are exchanged links and this site's link exchange page isn't even linked from the home page. Now I thought that kind of link exchange game was now discounted by Google. I don't get it. No social pages at all... low page rank... no new content.. so by MOZ standards there is no justification for this page to be anywhere near page one let alone at position #1. Can someone help me make sense of all this?

When requesting a CSV for an internal 302 redirect report, the data isn't aligning with the UI. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Expired domains and OSE?
If a domain expires will it remain in OSE indefinitely and show external backlinks? Or at some point does the domain get removed from OSE?
