Why does the csv export from OSE only include 25 of the 90+ links?
-
In OpenSiteExplorer, I clicked "Download CSV" for a report on backlinks from one domain to another. The online visualization in OSE showed 93 external inbound links from site A to site B.
When I opened the report, there are only 25 linking pages listed. How do I download the full list?

Thanks Ryan, but I'd rather not. It's some research on an old link deal we had that we're rolling back. I'm not exactly proud of it
But I can tell you I started by running OSE on Domain A. Then filtered for "External Only" and "All Links to this Root Domain" and "Group links by Domain". Then scrolled down to find the domain I was looking for backlinks from, clicked the plus sign next to their name, which revealed 3 of the top links back and a link to "view all the links from this domain". Clicking on that takes you to the report I want to export.

If you are willing to share the URLs involved and the specific filters or parameters for the report, I can try to share feedback. Otherwise I will leave you in Megan's capable paws.

Hey thanks Megan! I just sent an email over with the link.

Hey Ryan - It was a domain to domain report that listed all the pages that link to one specific "domain A" from another specific "domain B".
In OSE it lists out all 93 links just fine, but then the exported file only shows 25 links.
-
Did you use any of the filters at the top of the page? For example there is a "Group by Domain" filter which will then show only 1 link per domain.
If you look at the email which included the file, it will list out any filters used to generate the report.

Hey Daniel!
This is Megan from the SEOmoz Help Team. Can you let me know what URL you're analyzing in OSE? If you don't feel comfortable sharing that information publicly, please let us know by sending a message to help@seomoz.org and we'll take a look asap!
Cheers!

Inbound Links/Spam Score - Disavow
Hi I have been using the Links tool in our Pro account on Moz, using the MOZ spam score/inbound links tool I can identify the linking domains and their spam rating. It shows we currently have around 4.8k linking domains and when I export the data I receive information like below. (Name - Spam Score)

6vh.info 93% These sites are linking to our images on the site and also to the product the image is from. 80% of our links are like these ones above I understand these types of links are quite common especially for e commerce sites but should I disavow these on a regular basis or ignore them? I don’t want to ignore them if they could harm us. Thanks Mike0 -

How do you determine how much a link is worth?
Obviously things like Mozrank, domain authority, relevancy signals, authority signals, and other fundamentals are a great starting ground, but I was wondering how people put value on a links. How much time is a link from a page rank of x or a moz rank of y worth. How much time, money (not in terms of paid links, but in terms of manpower, copyrighting required, etc.) is a link of a certain rank worth. Obviously there is no exact answer to this question, but I'm very curious to see what people have to say in this regard.

AM I the only one getting misleading titles in OSE?
I am trying to locate directories in my competitor's links using OSE. Here is the workflow I am using: Filter all results to external sites only, group by site, linking to any page on the domain. 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.

What is more important, page authority or linking root domains?
I have 2 pages in my report that are identical: www.ferringway.com (more page authority......21 vs. 1) www.ferringway.com/index.php (more linking root domains...... 40 vs. 21) Which one should I delete or should I do something like a 301 redirect? Your help is greatly appreciated! Sheryl

Over 90% of anchor text tends to be brand-name on OSE link profiles. Why?
I reported this as a bug in OSE, because often I explore these links and find that the pages include both a brand-name link AND a regular keyword link, but for some reason OSE was only reporting the brand-name link... This led me to wonder how many links this occurred for, and therefore whether or not to trust the fact that the majority of the sites I ran OSE on returned at least (in most cases, more) than 90% brand-name links. I understand that brand-name links are amongst the most important to obtain, but that it's also important to get anchor text for keywords to build a varied profile. Given this apparent flaw in OSE, is it wrong - in the case of very successful sites - to take this ~90% as being anywhere near the correct percentage of brand-name links that I should be aiming for as a proportion of the total profile? Extra Credit :)... And this may help potentially help resolve the issue: does "Inbound Links" tab in OSE just report links to the Root Domain, or to that and every other page on the site?

OpenSiteExplorer is not seeing all my inbound links
I know I have back links to my site from about 5 or 6 websites and most of them even show in my Google webmaster account but according to OSE I only have 1 inbound link. Is it normal for the OSE stats to be wrong? I really want to use it but am worried the info isn't going to be accurate.
