AM I the only one getting misleading titles in OSE?

[tdlabs]

I am trying to locate directories in my competitor's links using OSE. Here is the workflow I am using:

1. Filter all results to external sites only, group by site, linking to any page on the domain.
2. Export results to csv.

My competitor is in the web design industry. So I try to filter the titles of the pages linking to the competitor to look for titles containing directory. But when I click on the link for "Windsor Internet Web Design Hosting Ontario Canada Directory" I get a page with the title "Kitchen & Bathroom Showroom | London Ontario | Bathroom Vanity Showroom"

Are the results really this misleading?? or am I doing something wrong here?

Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated.

I am also getting misleading titles occasionally. OSE sometimes picks up the title as the anchor text.

It is a little bit different than your error

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in. It is a bit difficult to determine exactly what may be the issue without knowing what site you are exporting the research for, but there are a couple of reasons the titles may be different. The data we provide can be a few weeks old, so the site may have changed the titles of their pages since they were indexed. Also, the pages could redirect to a different page than where the link was originally located when we indexed the page.

We just released a new index this morning, so you may want to try running your report again. If you are still seeing errors for the page titles, it will help us investigate if you can let me know the site you are research and several examples of titles that seem off. If you prefer not to provide that data in the public forum, you can email us at help@moz.com.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you are still running into any issues with the updated data.
