Open Site Explorer Social Media?
-
Open Site Explorer always reports only a few facebook likes. If I go to the business page of the site, it has 100+ likes. This seems to happen a lot. Is this a OSE issue or is there an issue with the site clearly being defined to google as a connected facebook account?
If OSE doesn't see the likes, will google? How can I fix?

Hi there,
Thanks for writing in with a great question.
The social media information is based specifically on the URL you are inputting, so it would not include the likes on the Facebook page for the site unless you are specifically looking up facebook.com/examplebusiness in Open Site Explorer. For example, for www.seomoz.org OSE shows 155 Facebook likes (http://screencast.com/t/m0curvDuwsVU) while for www.facebook.com/SEOmoz it shows over 79,000 likes (http://screencast.com/t/34eHBJ4IEu). All of the metrics in the top section of OSE are specifically related to the exact URL you are researching and would not pull in information for other URLs.
I hope this clears things up. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Site recently updated- are my campaign results really accurate?
I recently updated a website and it seems as though my campaign results are not accurate. I feel that the more I learn about SEO, the less I know (if that makes sense?). Every time I check my campaign results for this site I feel like I am missing something but just don't know where to begin. The site is aphroditedesserts.com For example, "aphrodite desserts" is one of my keywords. When I type that into Google, it automatically pulls up the site as #1. But in my campaign, it shows that "aphrodite desserts" does not rank in the top 50 for google. Why is this? (I know there is a lot I could do to improve the SEO keywords on this site, but I am limited because of the client's budget.) However, if I could just get a handle on the answers for these types of issues, I think I would feel much more confident as an SEO specialist. Right now I feel more like a fraud. =( Any insight into what may be causing this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

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.
