Exportable Bulk PA Analysis for Entire Site?
-
Is there a way to run a report through Moz's Open Site Explorer to produce an MS Excel or Google Sheets spreadsheet showing Page Authority (PA) for all the individual pages on my site?

Hi Kristina,
Thanks for the reply, but my question was either poorly worded or misunderstood. I've edited it.
I'm not looking for an exportable list of all the backlinks to my site and where they come from. I'm looking for an exportable list of all the pages on my site, with their respective Page Authority (PA). If there was an additional field of data (such as how many backlinks are directed at those pages, that would be a bonus, but not not required).

Hi there! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.
When you run a search on a URL in Open Site Explorer, if you set the target to the entire root domain, we will display all links for that domain that we have included in our Mozscape Index: https://www.screencast.com/t/ylFWSmQMr
However, when it comes to downloading/exporting this data, there is a limitation of our API is that we can only export the top 25 links from each linking root domain. This means that, if the majority of your links are coming from a small number of domains, we would only be able to export a small percentage of your links. This includes internal links as well as external links. For example, moz.com has 61k internal links, but we would still only be able to export the top 25 of those internal links.
The reason why is that if someone has 500,000 links and most of them are from the same domain, then we wouldn't want to fill up all 10,000 links with the same domain information and leave out important links from other domains. Instead, we'll only show the top 25 based on Page Authority so that we can show links from other sites without the same domain taking up all 10,000 spaces. In other words - we want to show link diversity.
The advanced reports have the same limitations on the number of links per linking root domain, and can only give links from an increased number of root domains.
If you want to obtain more than 25 links from a particular domain (we export only 25/per domain) to a target, this is only achievable through the Mozscape API directly.
For example, if you want to find the number of pages that link to the yahoo.com root domain from the wikipedia.org root domain, you could issue the following query:
http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/links/yahoo.com?Scope=page_to_domain&SourceDomain=wikipedia.org&SourceCols=4&Limit=50&Offset=0This will return the source URL of the first 50 pages from anywhere in the wikipedia.org root domain to anywhere in the yahoo.com root domain. Then, you can set the Offset parameter to 50 and run the same call, and so on, always incrementing Offset by 50. As soon as you get a number of links back that's less than 50, you know you've reached the end of the links we have that fit your parameters. Just add up all the links you've seen, and you've got your count!
Please note the limit for free users will be 1000 links total. There is no limit with a paid subscription, however higher offsets take longer to process and may time-out.
I hope this helps but please let us know if there's more information we can provide. And as always, the best way to reach our team is to contact us directly by emailing help@moz.com.
Thank you!

Link Explorer Export
Does anyone know how to export more than 50 keywords at a time from Link Explorer? I'm trying to extract the keywords from a competitor domain to do some analysis/big data queries. I'm using the link Explorer but I can't see any way to export more than 50 keywords at a time! The total I can export seems to be around 100k but it's going to take a very long time if I've got to do 50 at a ago!

Page Authority different between Moz Open Site Explorer and On Page analyser
I have a client who has an old URL with 3 linking root domains and 4 links, with a PA of 24. This is on the open site explorer. There is a 301 redirect in place to direct this old url to the new url. When he uses the Moz bar on page, it shows that he has a PA of only 1 with no LRDs or inbound links? Can anyone please explain why this is happening and if this could affect further page links across his site? It would be appreciated. Kind regards

Difference on full and partial URLs in Open Site Explorer?
Hi, I am pretty new to SEO and it might show. Here is my question, regarding the difference on "full and partial" urls in Open Site Explorer (OSP). That is, the difference on http://www.mywebsite.com and http://mywebsite.com. I get very similar results for the two variations, but not exactly the same. That suggest to me that OSP most of the time find the same links regardless of whether the url put into the search field is full or partial. But not all the time. Can anyone clarify? Thx in advance

Open Site Explorer Question
Hello Mozers. It has been a while 🙂 OK - I run an open site explorer report, toggle over to 'Linking Domains' because I am more interested in the number of actual websites that link to my client rather than the number of links my client has (and of course what websites are linking) and although I have been doing this for years there is one little thing I am a bit confused about. The report shows (from left to right) the 'Linking Root Domain", the "Domain Authority" for the linking domain and then the 'Number of Linking Root Domains" for each 'Linking Root Domain" My question is (rather stupid, I am sure) is the number of linking root domains for each linking root domain the number of websites linking to them OR the number of websites to which they link?

Why won't Open Site Explorer detect inbound links from big name websites?
I understand smaller, spammy sites woudn't get indexed, but some of the websites linking to mine have high domain authorities. The website is a parked subdomain.

Open Site Explorer results are not satisfactory.. is there any issue with it?
Hello Folks, I am trying to check back links of one of my competitors through Open Site Explorer, but the results it is providing is not satisfactory. Competitor URL : goo.gl/xMXHk7 Results provided by OSE : Number of Internal Links : 23 Number of External Links : 100 While the external backlinks provided by other free tools are quite different and more in numbers.. and here I am paying to get accurate data.. Just wanted to confirm whether I am using this tool improperly, or any issue is going with this tool? C6JPxGE
