Moz showing +3M new inbound links. But nowhere to find them?
-
Hi there
Moz is showing a +3M backlink rise in the dashboard for one of our domains. The site has always had around 350K backlinks and in Ahrefs and Majestic it still shows this number. But Moz shows a growth of +3M in the last two weeks. Is there a way to see where these backlinks come from in OSE? I can't seem to understand how it is possible to see this somehow. Can it be a mistake of Moz maybe?

Thank you for your answer Lisa.
Will do.

Hi there! Sorry for any confusion.
In a case like this it's hard to determine what's going on without investigating the campaign itself, so if you are still unsure why this data is populating I'd recommend reaching out to the Help team at help@moz.com to take a closer look. We'll be happy to help diagnose what's going on.

Really looks like an anomaly. Wait for the next update and see what happens.

Hi Donald,
Thank you for your answer. I don't think it can be the combined external and internal links. (see attachment) I have also tried the filters in OSE, but still can't figure out where the links come from. And isn't it strange that Ahrefs and Majestic show a totally different amount of backlinks than Moz?
Thank you.

Snorkel,
How large is your website? In OSE try using some of the filters. What you may be seeing is the combined external and internal links.

Why is the company reference of "designed by" with a link back my web development site not being indexed as a link?
Using the Mozbar I am analyzing my links and my competitors links. I am noticing other web developer sites are getting credit/index links from all their client's websites with the "designed by...." link in the footer. However, for me I only see one "inbound link" in the link analysis report. Sometimes I notice a company getting several inbound links on one site they built. I have built many other sites and have my company link below on all the footers. Why are the other sites not showing up as "inbound links" on the link analysis report? Thanks for your help! Nikki

Links from no-indexed pages in Open Site Explorer
I just looked up a site in Open Site Explorer. After putting in the site, I get a list of domains, links etc which is very useful. At the bottom is a note which I have pasted below. It mentions "24 links from no-indexed pages" and says we can't get any info on these. Is there a way to see what the 24 links are so I can investigate further?"Why does my number of inbounds links listed not match my total links count? The listed number may be slightly different because we only show 25 links per domain (so that you see a variety). Additionally you have 24 links from no-indexed pages. Unfortunately, we can't get info for those links."
