How do you check for .gov and .edu backlinks using the new link explorer?
-
I'm trying to do an audit but I can't seem to figure out how to find .edu and .gov backlinks from the new link explorer. Can someone please help? I'm trying to learn how as open site explorer will be replaced by the link explorer.
Thank you!

It shouldn't take too long to generate

I guess that's the easiest way to do it. It just takes time to generate so I looked for other ways. Thanks anyway.

Yes, I did try the Ctrl + F but I was looking for a faster process since I can only view about 50 rows and if this certain site has thousands of linking domains then I'd have to click next and do the search command for each page. Thanks for your help by the way!

Following on from Nicholas's answer. Once you are in the 'Linking Domains' section you can also choose to export as a CSV should you have numerous linking domains and search that way
Let me know if you have any other questions!

One way to do it is to enter whatever you are URL you are plugging into the Link Explorer, then go to "Linking Domains" on the left-hand menu. Once there you can do a "Command + F", or whatever the search command is on your computer, and then search .gov or .edu to see if the URL you typed in has an .edu or .gov links pointing to it.
Although I would start with Moz's Link Explorer, this may be a good link search to cross-reference with Ahrefs, as they will show you if the Domain has any .gov or .edu links in the general overview once you enter a URL to analyze.

Dofollow link from Moz user profile still not showing in OpenSiteExplorer
Hi everyone! Refering to my last question http://moz.com/community/q/dofollow-link-from-moz-user-profile-not-showing-in-opensiteexplorer, the last update was on March 10 and I'm still searching my dofollow link from my Moz user profile http://moz.com/community/users/625691 after have 200 MozPoints, Opensiteexplorer only found the nofollow link from the icon, but nothing from the anchor text of my URL. Is possible that only take the first link to my blog and ignore the rest if it have the same href? 😞 Thanks! fTdwaO6.png

How long does it take for moz to index new domain?
Hi, Two months ago we changed our site www.jicht.nl to jicht.nl. Everthing is redirected properly but the page authority remains 1. How long does is take rogerbot to index the site without www? Google rankings are also dropping so there might be a bigger issue. Thanx

Why do 0 back links show for my website in Open Site Explorer?
I've read and understand that all back link tools results will vary from one another but Open Site Explorer and some others find 0 linking to my site. Webmaster tools show 46 back links. Is this because they are all "no follow"? I'm trying to get a grip on SEO but am very confused from the get go. Thanks, Todd
