What do I do about accessing open site explorer?
-
I am stuck in the redirect loop which seems to have become commonplace when seeking to access open link explorer...
I have cleared my cache.
I have reset and restarted my browser.
And I think I have done what I need to do with cookies.
Someone please help me - I am using 10.6.8 OSX - Safari - but have also tried chrome
thanks in advance
be blessed

Hello, Abe here on the SEOmoz Help Team. I had to do some detective work with this exact same issue a month ago and came up with a crazy solution. I hope this works in your case. If the issue is not cache and cookies, check the calendar on your computer and make sure the time and date for your location are accurate. If the date is set ahead at all from the time zone of your IP address, OSE can return a redirect loop (I think gmail is affected by this too). Please test this out, confirm the accuracy of the date, and let me know if you are still getting the redirect loop message.

Sorry for my late reply -
I tried the private browsing thing and it still redirects me round and around...
It has been 6 weeks now and I really really need open site explorer to work for me on my laptop...
please walk me through what else i might do to solve this problem...
Sorry to bug you, but I don't know where else to turn...
thanks,
Ben

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out! It seems like you did a ton of troubleshooting. I have tried replicating your issue on safari, so far I am not having any luck getting the redirect to happen with this or other browsers that I have. Which leads me to think that this might be a cookie issue, as delicious as that sounds, one way you could see if you are having this issue is by turning on private browsing mode, this way your browser won't utilize a cookie to and you can see if this will get you past the redirect loop. If this works then you will probably have to go back and delete the correct cookie.
Let me know if that works for you, if not we will think of something else!
Best,
Peter

One of my sites fell off the earth
I manage a handful of sites and have ranked top 5 for a handful of keywords for a long time. I recently checked one of my clients websites and other tier 2 pages will come up but the home page is now not showing up for any listings on Google. Was there a recent update was I put in the mysterious sandbox? I have not modify anything or using any black hat seo tricks. Only thing that was done is the client installed demand force onto their website. Any feedback about an update or about demand force or issue would be helpful. The site is https://www.nwichiropractic.com/

Moz Crawl Test: WordPress sites with and without /feed and /trackback entires?
I have multiple WP websites and on some of the websites, on my Moz Crawl test, I see an entry for every blog post but also entries for /feed and /trackback for that single blog post. For example, www...com/someArticle www....com/someArticle/feed www...com/someArticle/trackback 1. Can anyone explain why the Crawl test is picking up the /feed and /trackback items? Is it simply because they are 301 redirects to the original post (www...com/someArticle)? 2. What setting(s) in WordPress are making this information appear? Or is it just that the site(s) that have the /feed and /trackback are displaying "normal" behavior for a WP site with a lot of trackbacks and feed entires? 3. Should /fee and /trackback, as well as /author be blocked in robots.txt? Thanks in advance for your advice and input!

I can't find any inbound links that I know I have on open site, ahref or majestic. Does anyone know why?
Since the linkscape update before Christmas I have built a couple of links to fairly high quality sites. I can't find them on open site though or the other tools I mentioned. I'm a bit concerned there is an issue with my site. Does anyone have any idea why? I'm stumped. My site: www.emporiumofmanliness.co.uk

Tool which shows site ranking for a given keyword
Hi all. I have a client with a specific request and wanted to ask if there is a reliable tool which allows a user to enter a given site and keyword, and it will return the site's ranking for that keyword. More specifically: Needs to work for Google, Yahoo and Bing Needs to work for various countries such as Google.ca, Google.it, etc. Needs to show at least the top ?10k rankings, not just the top 50 The last requirement is the challenge. I clearly recognize anything past the top 50 or so ranks is really off the map, but the client would like to view his current standings.
