Abnormally high number of root domains linking to root domains

[SocialStreets.Co]

My client runs a very small business hiring out space in a single warehouse and rarely adds content to his incredibly badly optimised wordpress site.

Can anyone make any wild guesses as to why my client has 2.9 million root domains linking to root domains? He also has a domain authority of 100. Strange when the number one competitor in warehouse space in this part of the world is Gumtree (equivalent of Craig's List) and that only has 9.25k root domains linking to root domains and site authority of 80.

Is there any way of finding out where these links are coming from via Moz?

Thanks

Is your client Google?

Seriously (I'm not as funny as I think I am) something is wrong here. Feel free to share the URL with me via private message me http://moz.com/messages/write or write the help team at help @ moz.com and we'll try to get this sorted out for you.

The only way I can see that this is a 100 DA is if the site is possibly a subdomain of wordpress or similar, hence the disproportionate links? Is the site self hosted and you have access to the server?

Now this is what I called a rear case J

DA 100 for small business sounds fishy to me! I agree with Chris… go to Open site explorer and dive in to the link details… it will not contain all the links but still enough data to make you day and see what quality of links are pointing back to the website and then decide why there are so many links pointing to your client’s website.

There are few possibilities that I would like to mention

-          You client was previously involved in to Paid links to a greater extent and that is why the number f root domains are just huge.

-          Someone is involved in the negative SEO for your client’s brand (very rear chances)

-           Your client’s brand name is insanely amazing that even a superman wants to link to it… in that case the DA of 100 makes sense to me!

Hope this helps!

Tabitha, you should first go to www.opensiteexplorer.org and run a report there.  It's not going to give you the whole 3M links though.  You may also try Ahrefs.com and majestic.com.
