OSE Stats - Number of Unique C IP's and PA/DA keep going up and down. Why?
-
For the past 3 months (if not more) I have been checking my sites stats on OSE and have noticed drastic decreases and increases in unique C-IP's, ranging from 600 to 1200.
I have also noticed the PA & DA going up and down by 5 points.
We have a talented team that work hard to market our business ethically with strong content and PR relationships, white-hat link building all the way, active social media and a dedicated on-site technical team.
The data from MajesticSEO seems to be a lot more steady and consistent.
Why is OSE showing drastic changes in 1 to 2 week intervals?
Many thanks
Ross

OSE crawls a different number of domains/pages with each update. It is normal to see fluctuations in all of these metrics for for links to appear/disappear in OSE reports.
OSE and Linkscape data is an extremely valuable for gauging site/page strength, as well as a healthy amount of backlinks to a given page. I do not think it is a great tool to use for benchmarking your site authority or backlink profile growth, due to the inconsistencies between their indexes (or is it indices).
If you are tracking competitors with it, you will likely see similar fluctuations in there data as well.

Give a Solution my DA is not increasing and not index my backlinks in MOZ??
DA of my site is not increasing. It seems like Moz is not indexing my backlinks. Multiple backlinks of my site [ Tech Spotty ] is not indexing in Moz that is why DA is not increasing. Backlinks of my site have indexed in both Ahref and Semrush both not showing in Moz. DR has increased to 51 but DA is still 7. If anyone has the solution please let me know.

OSE: Missing back-links and High DA website with low DA backlinks
I have gone through a website with 81 DA; where its link equity back-links with highest DA of 70. Hardly 5 back-links 60 to 70 DA and just 25 root domains. This seems very unusual to me. Can someone clarify this for me? Can a website with low DA back-links can make high DA? If so what could be other major contributing factors for this?

Local listings aren't being crawled?
Hello, SEO brainiacs. Here is the problem I can't figure out:We have a lot of clients and all of them have local listings, such as Insider Pages, Yahoo local, Bing locals, Yelp, Yellow Pages etc etc etc.

And all of those local listing have company's website link. But none of those links are considered (found) in reports, such as opensite explorer or in Link Analysis Section of Moz PRO. I do know that MOZ crawl considers only high DA websites, but all of local listing domains have above 80-90 DA score, so they can't be NOT crawled. I will say that some local listings do appear on very few reports, but far not all of them. So, what can be the problem?0 -

Open Site Explorer Social Stats Limited to 25 Results?
Hi Mozzers, I've exported a few open site explorer queries and was surprised to find that only 25 results returned social stats even for some really large websites. Is that a limitation in the search or a bug? I want to filter everything by twitter shares, so having a complete set of data for that stat is super important. Thanks! Tony
