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.

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?
