Hi, I'm looking to find out why a google+ account that was rarely used has 10,000 views. I want to discover what sites it is linked to. I entered the page url but no joy. can anyone help?
-
I would like to find out where all this traffic is coming from. It is most likely from an out of date sales site etc, but it's important to find out as it could be the result of hacking etc. It appears the page is linked to another site and I would like to find out which one(s) Entering the page url is not getting results, can anyone help?

Profiles like that tend to be used by spammers etc. you can tell by lack of activity, profile picture is used to heck it could be getting views from other sources used by spammers etc. stumble upon or Fivverr etc. I wouldn't worry too much about it, its not a legit profile. On top of this the view count is only a rough indicator. I also don't know if bots raise the view count everyday etc.
Sorry I couldn't get the exact reason but confidant its not legit.

Thanks for the response pixelbypixel! I appreciate all the options you posted. Unfortunately entering the google+ url gets the answer "It looks like we haven't discovered established link data for this URL yet." or in other search sites it says "there are no results for your query". https://plus.google.com/u/0/102703806095640640425/posts is the url I have entered. I would understand this not getting any results due to the lack of activity, but I cannot understand getting no results when the vewcount is rising every day.
Have you any ideas of what I may be doing wrong?

Hi Erin thanks for your reply! Apologies for my lack of clarity on the original post. The Google+ profile in question has over 11,000 views, with a thousand in the last week. All I can think of is that maybe my profile is linked to an external site, and that people are clicking on the profile from the external site.
However, I am at a loss to know whether there are other potential reasons the view count should be so high.

Hi Denverish, thanks for your reply! It is a personal Google+ profile. I have a custom url but it is not returning any results in the Moz search. It has received over a thousand extra views over the last week yet I have no explanation as to where these views are coming from.

I believe you are trying to work out the views ( http://imgur.com/XXiyLxI ) those views do not mean that it has a lot of links it could mean its been shared one or old and thus viewed a lot. Unfortunately you won't be able to find out much on the views but you can find out how that account has been linked to by entering its url e.g. https://plus.google.com/+SEOmoz into OSE or Majestic seo or Ahrefs and TA DA! you can find the links but links have no real coloration with views
You can however use this site to find out shared etc. http://www.sharedcount.com/ e.g. http://www.sharedcount.com/#url=https%3A%2F%2Fplus.google.com%2F%2BSEOmoz%2Fposts
Hope that helps, if not let us know what you need and i'm sure we can hep

Hi there!
Thanks for reaching out! My name is Erin, and I'm on the Moz Help Team. I think I need more information to help you troubleshoot this. Do you mean to say that the G+ Page has 10,000 like? Or 10,000 linked to it? Are you seeing this information somewhere in your campaign?
Once we have more information, we should be able to help you troubleshoot this further!
Cheers,
Erin

Hi there, thanks for your question! Is this a personal Google+ profile or a brand page? Either way, does it have a custom URL? (That is, plus.google.com/+YourPageOrProfileName.)
-
Oh, my bad...I read "web page" rather than "google + account". I'll have to leave that for someone else to answer 'cause I'm not sure how you would measure that.
-
Thanks for your answer Chris. I have tried copying the url from my google plus profile but it doesn't get me any results. Is this the wrong url to enter?
-
go to open site explorer and enter the address of the site in question. The report will give the websites that are linking to your domain. Keep in mind that just because a site hasn't been used in some time doesn't mean there can't be traffic going to it. I'd also recommend installing Google analytics on the site so you can get a more granular idea of where the traffic is coming from.

How can keyword explorer help me search on a more local level?
I am a total novice at this. I am taking the tutorial and the first thing she addresses is Keyword Explorer. It makes sense to me, but what doesn't is that it asks me to look for keywords in USA. I need to explore keywords on a local level. Anyone out there who can help me with this? am I over my head with Moz Pro if I am a complete novice?

Mozbar - No Link Results Populating
I am new to using the Mozbar and maybe I have missed a setting someplace, but in search results under the individual results only the page links are showing - no referring domains, no links or referring domains for the site. Here is what I am getting: https://www.dropbox.com/s/67rl5itsiou4hnq/1b.png?dl=0 Here is what I would like to see (with all 4 results showing) https://www.dropbox.com/s/ce71c9og48i7yk0/1b2.png?dl=0 Is there a setting I might have missed? I have reinstalled the extension, oh...about ...5 times or so hoping that would solve the problem, but still getting the same results. Any suggestions or how to get all 4 results to display? Thank you for your help or suggestions

Mozbot Can Not Crawl Entire Domain
I'm trying to crawl Redken.com in Moz Analytics and the Search Diagnostics is only crawling 4 pages. The domain uses a "select your country" the first time you visit, and it seems as though the bot is not getting beyond that (aka, not clicking on "USA") and is therefore not crawling the rest of the domain. There is no country specific URL other than redken.com. I've tried entering both "redken.com" and "www.redken.com" as the URL, but no luck. Any tips?

I am having trouble using tools. Please help.
Hi, I have been using Moz tools like keyword, site explorere. And the results have all these big words in the column that confuse me. In other words, I don't know how to translate the results and understand what the results mean. Is there an easy guide on how to use the tools. Also, once I understand the results, Is there a way to come up with rough estimate on what it takes to rank my site for certain keywords. Is there a step by step or easy guide to become productive after using those tools? I have been through introductory videos and read some material like beginning SEO etc. But having hard time using the tool? Is it just me and every one is blazing with Moz tool?
