How can I do a competitve comparison on keywords
Hey, Thanks for the question. In your campaign settings you can enter up to three different competitors and view their rankings as compared to yours for any keywords you've entered to track. If you're looking for a standalone on-the-fly rankings you can check out the rank tracker (https://moz.com/researchtools/rank-tracker) but that won't automatically show it compared to you. I hope that helps. Cheers, Joel.

Sidebar on OSE causing problems
Hi David! We actually updated the UI for OSE so all of our research tools can be found under one section. You should see social metrics after searching a URL/page which looks like this: http://www.screencast.com/t/Q3wmTzOF7wM If you are seeing something different, definitely send us a screenshot and your account information to help@moz.com Hope this helps!

A simple count (with list if possible) of the external and internal links on a website
Open Site Explorer gives you what you need. If you have a PRO membership with Moz then you will have access to OSE. Alternatively, if you have access to Webmaster Tools then this will also show you a list of links to the website. I would recommend using both really because you will see that both tools give you different URL's that the other might not show up.

OSE and HTTPS
Hey There, Thanks for writing in with a great question. The solution that Carin referred to in the forum of the first link you provided unfortunately didn't work as we had hoped, so we've suffered a bit of a set back on this feature update. We are currently working on a new plan of action, but we don't know how long this may take to resolve. Our current hope is February or March, but it really depends on a number of factors and we can't say for certain when you will start seeing HTTPS in OSE. I would recommend subscribing to the feature forum and posting questions regarding the status there. That way, you'll get the status you're looking for and it will be in a place for other users to see easily, as well. Please let me know if you have any other questions I can help with. Chiaryn

How can I get ONLY my competitors backlinks??
Hi Kasper! You can use www.opensiteexplorer.org to export backlink data. We can only provide up to 25 links per linking root domain. Hope this helps!

Advanced Inbound Links Report - hanging at 99,450?
Hi Matt I've re-requested the report but cannot guarantee that it will complete due to the amount of data it's exporting. We recommend adjusting your filters to generate smaller results less than 100K. Hope this helps!

Links from no-indexed pages in Open Site Explorer
Hi! No-indexed pages are actually pages that have a "rel=noindex" tag in their source code. When crawlers hit this, they stop crawling the page per the directive so we can't report any data on them. Because of that, you won't see the links referenced to anywhere except the bottom of the page where we provide a generalized count. Hope this helps clear things up and that you have a great holiday! Best, Sam Moz Helpster

Why does it take so long to generate CSV reports from OSE?
Thank you for the feedback Tim. We have added a note to OSE when you run a report that exports are running behind, as well as to the recent CSV reports page. Hopefully this will help people in this situation in the next couple of days. This morning's internal status report showed that we are getting ahead on the reports and things are starting to move a little faster now.

Why does OSE & Moz Q&A sections not work for me in Chrome any more?
I'm really sorry you have to deal with all this. Please let me know how that goes!

Moz & Other Sites Not Showing in Link Profile?
That is great to hear, Keri! You are right. They are showing for Google, so ultimately, that is what is important

What is difference between just discover links and established links in OPEN SITE EXPLORER
Just Discovered Links uses a different index from OSE. We have info about Just Discovered links at http://moz.com/blog/announcing-the-just-discovered-links-report. We discover those links via Twitter, and display them there. I'd use both for seeing what type of links competitors have.

Open Site Explorer Social Stats Limited to 25 Results?
Hey Tony, I updated you via email, but I am posting the response here for your reference, as well. Unfortunately, it does look like the this is a limitation of the tool and we are unable to export the full social data at this time. Our engineers are investigating if we will be able to edit this limitation in the future, but this would mean a major coding change, so we aren't certain if this is will be possible. I am very sorry for the inconvenience this causes and I thank you for your patience while we review this process. Please let me know if you need any further assistance in the meantime. Chiaryn

Report Taken 2 days to process so far
Hey Ashley, I am really sorry that your report isn't completing. Unfortunately, there are some sites that have such large link profiles that our system is not able to export the data for these site and it looks like this is the case with your competitor site. Basically, our system has to call the full link profile and then collate the data for the report, which causes a timeout in the system. Our engineers are working on a solution for this issue, but I'm afraid that we currently don't have an ETA for this issue. In the meantime, you can run an Advanced report, using the filters to narrow down the results we need to pull to create the report. For example, I set the minimum DA for 75 and I was able to export an Advanced report for your competitor's site. I apologize for the inconvenience this causes. Please let me know if you need any further assistance. Chiaryn

OSE Export very slow
Woops! Keri's right - I read that response "Thanks for the reply, customer services." and thought that you meant you received an answer via email. I made an assumption there. Sorry! Anyways, can you please send us an email by going here and following the instructions under the search bars? http://moz.com/help/contact. It sounds like there's enough issues here that we should look into each one one-by-one. Again, I'm sorry for misreading your post earlier.
