Top Pages Report References URLs from a Different Domain

[seoaustin]

I am running a Top Pages Report using Open Site Explorer and it's returning that the top pages for examplesiteA.org are examplesiteB.com.

Important to note that examplesiteA.org was a dormant domain for a few years.  We recently purchased it and are in the process of reviving it.

Has anyone experienced this before?  Would this suggest that canonical link elements were put in place prior to it going dormant and that the top pages for this site are now assumed to be on examplesiteB.com?

Hmm that sounds like pretty abnormal behavior to me. Would you be able to give me an example of a domain where you're seeing that happen?

If you'd rather not make it public information, then you could always send a message into help@moz.com as well

Hi Brad! Was this resolved for you?

Still investigating.
