In OSE is there a way to see the total number or links coming from each domain?
-
Open site explorer will only show up to to 25 links per domain but in order to fully understand the link profile for the site I'm working on, I need to know how many links are coming from each domain - when I download the linking domains report, it doesn't contain this information.
Is there a way to access it?

Hi Jabbate!
I know we answered your question through the customer service ticket you submitted, but I thought I'd show it here too in case anyone else had the same question. So, here goes:
You can obtain more than 25 links per domain by using our API, which allows you to build your own tools off of our database. If you have an SEOmoz account you can generate credentials there and start playing around instantly. You will need a developer to write some code so that you can make requests for information directly to our database. That developer will probably also need to build you an interface so you can view the results and make sense of them. The API allows you to innovate and build your own tools, or incorporate our data into tools you already have.
You can learn more about the API here: http://apiwiki.seomoz.org You can review sample code here:http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/w/page/Sample-Code
Let me know if there are any questions!

Thanks. That would work but it seems like there should be an easier way. OSE has the info so I don't know why it's not accessible. I can't believe this issue hasn't come up before. I sent a support request to MOZ on this topic and haven't heard anything yet. I can't believe this hasn't come up before.

You could run Xenu Link sleuth on each of the domains then sort by name until you find how many links go out from it to a specific URL. Will take a while to run if they're big sites but still.

Specific external links
So...we have an A+ rating with the BBB and have for some time. We have a link from their page. We also use sites like pricegrabber and reseller rankings and have links from those. What I can't figure out is why links from the BBB and Pricegrabber don't even show up in open site explorer but the reseller ratings links are everywhere. The BBB one is easily the oldest and the other two are roughly the same age (i.e. at least a couple years old.)

Inbound Link Tool?
I signed up for SEOMOZ so that I could get a conclusive list of links for my competition. I hope I can get this information with this tool. Can I? And where can I find the tool? P.S. I don't need my own inbound links; I can get these with google webmaster tools.

OSE - advanced reports.
Trying to run advanced reports, but am being told I've hit my daily report limited - and points me to signing up for a Pro membership - although I already have one. Been like this the last couple of days. Anyone else experiencing this? Thanks.

Broken links in the pdf of the On Page Report
Hi, I run an individual On Page report for a particular URL, then I export as pdf. The URL appears in the pdf and looks fine but when you click on it it goes to a 'page not found'. I know the URL is correct. When I hover over the URL in the pdf i notice that the word 'Good' is at the end of my URL but I did not put this in there. if I give the report to a client it doesn't look so good. http://www.narellanpools.com.au/local-contact/narellan-pools-alburywodongaGood Is this a bug? Cheers Virginia

I will appreciate the exact definition of the term External followed Links and the term Followed Linking Root Domain.
I will appreciate the exact definition of the term External followed Links and the term Followed Linking Root Domain when using OpenSiteExplorer on Page level and on Sub-domain level. let's say my site is www.eitan.com and that's my home page as well. which of the following will be consider as external link / linking root domain? www.es.eitan.com es.eitan.com www.eitan.es joe.eitan.com www.joe.eitan.com Thanks a lot

Strange Links in OSE
Hey seomozers, The most recent Linkscape update has created some strange links to our domain. They are links which when I navigate to are download links, here is one example: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.9/updates/x86_64/headers/kernel-largesmp-0-2.6.9-89.0.25.EL.x86_64.hdr Now this links has nothing to do with our site and I can't see how it would count as a link to our domain, can anyone shed some light on why these types of links are being crawled as a link to our domain? Thanks Nigel

Does OSE Anchor Text Distribution CSV include internal links or external only?
Quite often when I'm using OSE and perform a CSV export, it looks like the total inbound link count and many phrases come from internal links for the domain in question. I haven't had the time to try and figure this out and don't know exactly how to go about figuring it out. So the initial question is does OSE's anchor text distribution CSV include internal links or are they external only? And alternately, how do I test for this? I deal with sites that have tens or hundreds of thousands of pages and hundreds of thousands or millions of links...
