How to tell where a competitor's Facebook Shares are coming from?
-
Is there a way to tell where a competitor's facebook shares and likes are coming from? How to also tell what ads they have running in Facebook and their spend?
I am looking at OSE's data and its telling me a competitor has 8.5K Facebook shares and 1K facebook likes. I go to their facebook page and it has about 25 likes. This site should not have anywhere close to the facebook shares/likes its receiving so wondering where they are getting their boosted traffic from.

OSE share data is based on page rather than domain, so that's a massive number of shares for a single page!
It almost certainly has to be a follower/like service. They're a dime a dozen. If they were running significant facebook ads you would expect their facebook page likes to be much higher than 25.

If you go to fiverr.com you'll see plenty of people offering to like or share your pages for $5. They may have used a service like that.
I think that 1k Facebook likes number is counting the individual likes on each page of their site - not necessarily the number of likes their page on FB has collected.

Sounds like shady shares to me, would'nt surprice me if there is a company that provides that sort of service. Some kind of affiliate thing where you get paid to click the share button on sites all day. Althougt a Google search for "buy facebook shares" gives me results of "how to buy facebook stock"

i doubt it, but i would check their API to be sure

Moz isn't recognizing content on our website hosted on bubble.is
Hi all. We have a bubble.is site and it's difficult to get Moz to recognize the text on the site (even though Google seems to recognize it most of the time). The pages are recognized...just not the text. **In case you want to play around: ** https:getmarlow.com/about https://getmarlow.com/article/gather-data-on-where-your-time-and-energy-go-1579415891021x868278876529492000

What's the best way to eliminate "429 : Received HTTP status 429" errors?
My company website is built on WordPress. It receives very few crawl errors, but it do regularly receive a few (typically 1-2 per crawl) "429 : Received HTTP status 429" errors through Moz. Based on my research, my understand is that my server is essentially telling Moz to cool it with the requests. That means it could be doing the same for search engines' bots and even visitors, right? This creates two questions for me, which I would greatly appreciate your help with: Are "429 : Received HTTP status 429" errors harmful for my SEO? I imagine the answer is "yes" because Moz flags them as high priority issues in my crawl report. What can I do to eliminate "429 : Received HTTP status 429" errors? Any insight you can offer is greatly appreciated! Thanks,

Why don't I have permission to view the update calendar?
I am trying to figure out when the next Open Site update will be. In the past I have just gone here - https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/345964-linkscape-update-schedule It is saying I do not have permission even though I am logged in. Anyone else having issues? Or if anyone can see it can they see when the next update is?

Does anyone know of a crawler similar to SEOmoz's RogerBot?
As you probably know SEOmoz had some hosting and server issues recently, and this came at a terrible time for me... We are in the middle of battling some duplicate content and crawl errors and need to get a fresh crawl of some sites to test things out before we are hit with the big one? Before I get a million thumbs downs- I love and will continue to use SEOmoz, just need something to get me through this week ( or until Roger is back! )!
