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

Why my site so poorly ranks on Google
Hi 🙂 I hope you can help me for my site http://www.majordroid.com/ I really do not understand why my site so poorly ranks on Google. What can I do about that? Are there any errors or something? What can be done about that? Also when I go to the Moz Tools - Open Site Explorer to check how many backlinks I have... It says: 12 Total Links but according to the Google Webmaster tools I have in total 334 links and 138 links to the homepage. see attachment Why Open Site Explorer does not see all the links to my site, which is a possible reason? And last question, what I need to do to remove pages from Google search like this: <cite class="_Rm">/page/2</cite>. <cite class="_Rm">/page/3 and so on...</cite> Thank you 🙂 aK0x345.jpg

Open Site Explorer, Which is the right link number?
Hi SEOMozers, I am trying to check a record of links to one of the websites I help look after. One problem with the site is the home page automatically redirects to /home which seems to make OSE give some weird results. I can give out the domain if need be but I would rather not if I can help it 😉 To sum up what's happening when you put the domain into OSE with the /home then I get the social figures but the link number is right out saying the site has 200 links. Typing in the domain without the /home brings up no social figures and 15k links which looks more correct. Also OSE has the notification about the redirect and if I'd like to go to the /home version. The weird thing is however is if I change the filter to 'Pages on this root domain' which should show all links pointing to the website, the figures don't change...? Has anyone experienced this? Any solutions? Or is it a known bug? Cheers for any help in advance!

I'm seeing duplicate links listed in open site explorer. Can anyone explain why this might be happening?
For each link listed in Open Site Explorer, I am seeing two identical entries. You can see why this might be a problem for both workflow and data accuracy. Any ideas why this might be happening? Is there a setting or filter that I'm missing?

Finding page authority for a list of sites
I went to Distilled's linklove conference earlier this week. Many of the presenters showed spreadsheets where they had pulled in Page Authority for a long list of sites. What tool can you use to quickly do this? For instance, I want to be able to copy a list of 100 sites into a tool and have it spit out the PA for every site...anybody know how to do this?

How to Use Open Site Explorer
I've used Open Site Explorer here at SEOmoz for the first time and I'm confused by the results. I'm wondering how dated the results are? And, what are they based on? For example, I'm certain my facebook shares and like are higher...same with the twitter links. It seems kind of old?! One of my competitors who gets about 2x more traffic than me DOES have great backlinks. I know that. BUT, it's odd that her facebook and twitter results are what they are compared to mine - they're WAY higher in site explorer AND her links seem on par with her facebook page whereas mine don't. Whereas mine seem WAy Way lower than what they are in reality. She barely tweets and facebooks any more. Maybe once per month. She started out gangbusters, but doesn't do it much any more. That's kinda why I'm wondering if it's based on older stuff and not updated often? Anyone know?
