Why can i see domain links for competitors form social media sites such as pinterest and youtube but not for myself??
-
When doing competitor analyse i can see that they are getting domain links form youtube and pinterest yet when i analyse my own links i do not have these.
My Google analytics shows me that iam getting traffic from these sources so why is it not showing up for me? and is this affecting my moz rank?

Hi there!
Solid question! This is likely stemming from the fact that sites like YouTube and Pinterest are absolutely massive. Since we aim for our link index to show results from large numbers of sources and not get diluted by all of the millions of links from enormous sites, we limit the number of pages crawled on each domain to ~50,000.As a result, there could certainly be links on those domains pointing to your site that we're not reporting on because they are buried deeper within the site structure than the links to your competitors. I hope this helps to explain! Feel free to hit me up with any further questions or concerns!

Unsolved learning about links...
Hello! I'm wanting to gain some insight about backlinks, and wondering why a client's digital ads don't count towards our external link count. We don't see the domain listed in the Linking Domains and were just curious. Any information would be appreciated as we're always trying to learn! Thanks!

Can I change the Link Explorer from check with Google US?
I'm trying to check the ranking keywords for a specific article with the Link Explorer, but when I hover over Ranking Keywords on the Overview it tells me that it's looking on Google US. We're a UK based company and the keywords we're trying to rank for are UK based - is there a way of changing this to match?

Open Site Explorer Messge - Mysite.com redirects to www.mysite.com
Hello All, When I plug in my site's URL http://mysite.com ( Not my actual URL of-course) into the OpenSiteExplorer tool I get the following message: "You entered the URL http://Mysite.com which redirects to http://www.Mysite.com/.
Link Explorer | | jjimen03
Because it's likely to have more accurate metrics, we're showing data for the redirected URL instead.
Click here to analyze http://Mysite.com instead?" Not sure why I am getting this message. On my hosting server, I have defined my preferred domain to be the non-www. version. I have also used a Canonical Tag on Mysite.com/index.html file ( ). In addition, on Google Search Console ( Webmaster Tools ) , I have added both the www. and non-www. properties, where on both property settings, I have defined the non-www. version as my preferred one. Also, on my server, I have not implemented any 301 redirects at all. So my questions are: Why am I receiving this message when plugging in my non-www. URL version of my website into OpenSiteExplorer? Is my DA or PA possibly being split up between the two versions as a result? Should I be concerned? How can I fix this? Thanks in advance.0 -
Does Feedburner URL of the Home Page Carry Link Equity?
Hi There, During an SEO Audit, I found that OSE categorizes Feedburner URL of root domains under link-equity passing and followed. For example, the following link has been categorized under link-equity passing and followed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/SpoonflowerBlog I have heard that a lot of SEOs saying feedburner links don't carry any link juice. If that's true, then why does OSE categorize feedburner URL of root domains under link-equity passing and followed? I would appreciate if someone from the Moz staff could take some to answer this. Thanks.
