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!

A single metric to evaluate link quality?
We're using Moz and Ahrefs to monitor backlinks that we're getting to Siftery. Given that there are so many factors that affect the potential quality of a backlink - domain authority, page authority, context, anchor text, etc. - is there a single metric that attempts to quantify the value of a link? I realize that this would be an inexact science, but it would be a helpful view to get a quick directional sense of what are our most valuable backlinks (and be able to tie it to the campaigns that led to them, for example). If there's no "single metric" out there, are there heuristics that people have withstood the test of time? Thanks for your help!

Problems with csv file from OSE
Hello Support, I have problems with the formatting of csv files from OSE in Excel. I got lines that only contain -- and these lines break up the data. It is possible to correct this manually but a bit annoying if you have 1500+ links generated in the file. I work a lot with csv files from other tools and programs and those give me no problems. Can you help me out please? Greetings Rob

How to get the total external links to a page and total external links to the domain using Mozscape API? I could not see an option in the bit flags
Hi, I was trying to get the data for total external links to a page and total external links to the domain using Mozscape API but I can't see a bit flag which can do that. There are bit flags for external followed links to a page and external followed links to a domain but I wanted the total external links data, is there a way to do that using Mozscape API else I would end up copying the data manually from OSE which would be cumbersome and time consuming. Your help is highly appreciated.

Setting to import into gDocs an Opensitexplorer CSV report.
That's pretty much it. Been trying to import an inbound links report generated with OpenSiteExplorer with no avail. All I get is a messy spreadsheet. Does any of you happen to know the right settings for a nifty import? Thanks a lot 🙂
