Open Site Explorer detects links from a site that redirects to it? How is this possible?

[inlinear]

I was checking external links to a site:  scte-brasilien.de/  and was wondering why there are so many links pointing from another domain (reisen-nach-brasilien.com/) although it redirects to scte-brasilien.de/?

So when checking the redirecting domain OSE knows its redirecting...

The URL you've entered redirects to another URL. We're showing results for scte-brasilien.de/ since it is likely to have more accurate link metrics. See data forreisen-nach-brasilien.com/ instead?

How is this possible?

The server gives OSE a code like 200 (all ok) or 301permanent redrect

Hey Holger,

Thanks for the question! I took a look at the report for scte-brasilien.de and reisen-nach-brasilien.com, and the only links to scte from reisen are the 301 redirects. You can look at the screenshot here: http://www.screencast.com/t/7K6jmevRuw

Ryan,

in my advanced report I receive these links: please see screenshot below & report here

And please help me with these issues too:

1. In the Column "Page Authority" there is sometimes is no value and in my case "Expeditions"... (may be this is an error because I must replace always " ,  " with " ** ;  **" because I have a german Excel version and changing it via the system option does not work. So may be that here occur these errors.)

2. the column "Origin" sometimes give me the values like: 193,57,36 or 30 and at the Target URL "External" instead of the URL.

3. also the column "Link Equity" contains sometimes an URL and "301" = Yes

is this all caused by Excel? If yes, is there an alternative software that reads csv-files correctly?

Thank you!!
Holger

Hi Holger,

It seems to me that you have a permanent 301 redirect error on your server. Or somebody has hijacked your DNS. You may want to check both things very soon.

Check your robots.txt file

Check your DNS settings make sure you're a record is not pointing to http://scte-brasilien.de/

Is either your DNS or your server I would call your hosting company and have it checked out.

Sincerely,

Thomas
