In OpenSiteExplorer, why is HTTPS not an option?
-
Our website (https://www.guardly.com) is using secure HTTPS protocols. For whatever reason, in the "Top Pages" section, OpenSiteExplorer only has pages that were online years ago and hasn't updated its index to retrieve index and show links for HTTPS pages. It's pretty frustrating as we are trying to optimize our website and it's really hard to get feedback/data from the service for new pages on our website. Any comments/thoughts would be really helpful.

It seems Moz completed the required engineering work and the index will build up in the upcoming months.

Hi RKG-Dev -
When we release this you will be able to retrieve https URLs and associated metrics from the API in the same way you currently retrieve http metrics. We will be crawling https URLs at the same time we crawl http URLs so they will be available on the same dates.

As I understand it, the HTTPS crawl data will work it's way into the indexes iteratively over time, and this should start in one of the next few indexes. This means that we should have better and better secure site representation over the next few months. I'll try and keep this thread posted as we see uptake with this.
With regard to the SERP analysis reports, if you are asking about metrics for https pages, this will come along for the ride, as will access via the API, campaigns, and OSE.

Quoting Megan from SEOMoz:
"Hi Peekabo!
This is Megan from the SEOmoz Help Team. Unfortunately, OpenSiteExplorer does not support https at this time. Sorry about that! This also means that any metrics that are gathered by our Mozscape Index (the index for OSE) are going to be for the http version of the site, which includes Page Authority. We hope to support https sites in OSE at some point, but it's probably still a ways out. We'll update this feature request thread as soon as this feature is available, so you can keep an eye on it: https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/20770156-open-site-explorer-to-crawl-https

Who can give me an advice for this situation? Regarding, Newbee0 -
The right GA account is not populating as an option. Can I redirect to a GA account not listed?
When setting up a campaign, Moz provides a number of Google Analytic options, however not the one that pertains to the specific URL for the campaign. Is there a setting I need to change to allow for the right GA account to populate? Or, can I enter this manually?

No internal links showing up in OpenSiteExplorer report
Hi there A simple one. I was just looking at our site in opensiteexplorer and notice that it says we have no internal links at all: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s244/sh/dd8cc88f-fee4-4ba2-8ec0-f3f8d5c408db/8d3fc3d2aa6fc9d5406051bc91731402 Rather odd as we do. Is this a bug with OSE that anyone knows about or something else? Any ideas / thoughts gratefully received.

OpenSiteExplorer Doesn't Show accurate links
Why do I get different results from SEOmoz tool bar and OpenSiteExplorer for some sites. For instance I look at one site and toolbar says it has 101 link domains, so I check it in OpenSiteExplorer and it says 2 link domains...? Am I missing something, or is it just not working properly?

SEOmoz Toolbar vs. Opensiteexplorer
Dumb question, why is the SEOmoz Toolbar reporting vastly different data than opensitexplorer? I had assumed they pulled from the same data set. False assumption? Am I misinterpreting the metrics? The discrepancies with which I am most confused are differences in number of root linking domains between OSE and Toolbar. Please enlighten me.
