Why does facebook, twitter, pinterest show up for links?
-
Hello, As I have used site explorer on competition sites, I am curious what I need to do to have my facebook, twitter, and pinterest links to shop up as a backlink?
I see some other sites have it, even if its a nofollow, but curious if I am doing something wrong? I have had accounts since last year.
Just curious if I am doing something wrong,
Thank you
Chris

Yea im not sure if explorer picks up everything but WMT does. As long as you add all your urls to all your social acts your should be good.

Thank you
Usually I just add them to the areas that allow, like for Twitter, its says add homepage url etc.
So under WMT yes they are there, but not in open explorer, so nit sure if it was a big deal or not.

Hey,
Im not sure if all links to your site show up in site explorer, check wmt but in some of my sites i don't see some social media links as well. Are you sure you have the link in the right place? That might be it as well.

Why are Internal Equity-Passing Links so low?
I am looking at "Internal Equity-Passing Links" for my website in the competitor link metrics tab of OSE, and it says that my website only has 7 internal links on the site. I know that I have more internal links that this, so I am wondering why this number is so low. Does anyone know where the discrepancy is coming from? Is the Moz crawler unable to access these? I appreciate any insights you can provide.

Do other sites linking to my page with a low domain authority affect my rankings?
Hello, my page authority 30, I see other page with an authority of 21 for example linking to us. Is this good or bad, does this affect our ranking? A lot of these don't have anchor text, I'm guessing we should reach out to these webmaster to include anchor text with the keywords we want to drive traffic to this page or make as descriptive as possible? Thanks! Laura

Hi, I've been trying to use Open Site Explorer to track link to my own website but it always comes up with no data and shows me this message: It looks like we haven't discovered link data for this site or URL. However, this site has been up and running for more than 9 months and google webmaster can track all the links to my website. I've also followed MOZ's support instruction to tweet a bit.ly links with my website but still no luck at all. My website is www.carpetcleanerperthwa.com.au Has anyone seen the same problem before? Any help would be much appreaciated. Thanks Will

Root Domain and Subdomain Links OpenSite Explorer
I'm using opensite explorer trying to explore who is linking to my clients site. In the main blue area it shows total links as 20, which I understand is to the specific page. In the Root Domain Metrics it shows 4,032 external links. Sub domain Metrics shows 1,973. How do I find out where the links are? I tried creating a advanced link report with the "Links that to" are checked off as "any page on this root domain" and only shows 91 of the links? What am I doing wrong or missing?
