Adding Disavowed Domains to Open Site Explorer?
-
Hi,
Is there a way to add to the OSE a list of disavowed domains?
Also, how often is it refreshed?
I know that the GWMT shows us links on sites that are down for months now.Thanks

Thanks for the assistance with a workaround Marie! This sounds like it'd be something good to write up for our feature request forum at https://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-SEOmoz-PRO-Feature-Requests, too.

Thanks Marie and Tom,
Marie, this is what I meant. Now that people are disavowing more and more domains and links, the OSE picture is plain wrong (unfortunately I disavowed a lot).
I will work with the excel for now.
Thank you both

That's the sort of excel macro love that I was hoping for. Thanks, Marie!
Also, uploading the .txt - that's not a bad or totally unrealistic idea, is it?

I agree with Tom, but I do see what you are saying. I think you are saying that you would like an option where you can upload your disavow.txt file to SEOMoz and then get a list of your backlinks minus the disavowed files. It's not a bad idea for a feature!
But until then, Tom's plan to do it manually in excel would work. Another way this could work in Excel is to add your disavowed domains in column A and have your OSE domains in column B then in column C use this forumula:
=if(B1=A1,"duplicate","")
This will flag all of the domains that are in your OSE list and also in your disavow list. You can then filter them out.

There's no way (that I can think of) for the OSE to know which domains you'd disavowed, so it would have to be manually done. The way I'd do this would be to export the backlink report into a .CSV file, lift the domains that you have disavowed and then, in Excel, remove any domains from the OSE list that are on your disavow list. You should be able to do this fairly quickly with the find+replace function. Alternatively, you could colour the cells of those domains in red, which again you could do quite quickly en masse.
Next index update is pencilled in for March 12th - you can find the information here. It usually takes a month, but what you'll no doubt notice on that page is that the index updates have been coming quicker and quicker; the last 2 updates have come only 14-15 days after the last one.

Domain Authority Dropped from 13 to 1
Hi there, I know Domain Authority is not a KPI, it's a relative metric but we saw a huge dropped down in our domain authority this week and I got worried. I am trying to understand why this happened? Any idea? Our website link is here https://www.wealthmanagementcanada.com Is it something related to Moz update or with our website? Regards,

Why has a .cleaning domain not been indexed on Google?
One of our clients domain names is http://companyname.cleaning I've done all of the on-page SEO, submitted a sitemap to Google and am currently monitoring the analytics and data on MozPro. The next scheduled update on domain authority is the 21st of July? We must have had this on since April, the website was most likely launched at the end of March. Is it normal to wait this long for a site to be indexed and the domain authority to rise?

Backlink profile from Open Site Explorer does not seem to update
I have been monitoring our backlink profile on Open Site for over a year now and despite getting a number of new domains linking to us they are not reflected in the tool. Our URL is: www.BlueLinkERP.com Any thoughts on why this might be the case? The number of linking domains also seems very low compared with other tools we use (i.e. HubSpot)

Is there a way to get the domain authority of a subdomain?
For example, www.storage-mart.com and us.storage-mart.com both show the same DA in OSE. I believe it's the DA of the root domain. How can I compare the DA of the 'www' and 'us' subdomains?

Can you explain social indicators in Open Site Explorer
My Google +'s for my domain were 403 last month and 35 this month.... Based on this I'm assuming OSE's numbers are not cumulative. Are they based on the previous month or a different time period? Any explanations would be helpful. Thanks!

Group by Domain sorting is broken.
When sorting links with "Group by Domain" it only works for the 1st page. Pages 2 - X do not group the results. Am I doing something wrong? Can we simply set it to "view all" to avoid paging?
