How can I use Open Site Explorer to Identify why my own URL's are appearing as inbound links
-
I'm a new member of Moz, and am trying to understand why I am seeing my sites URL's in my Inbound Link results in Open Site Explorer. There are quite a few, and they are all product category URL's that are generated by my stores database. This is not happening with .html URL's. Any thoughts?

Thanks, Paddy. Got it!

Thanks! I'm a newbie, and should know better than to explore a new tool after a long day at work!

by default the inbound links page filter is:
Show all links from all pages to this page and show links ungrouped
Change the filter so that is :
Show all links from only external pages to this page and show links ungroupedShow linking pages across
This will give you all external links to that page, If you want all external links to you website change it to:
Show all links from only external pages to pages on this root domain and show links ungroupedShow linking pages across
Hopefully that will fix it for you

Silly question but are the urls of the product category and the urtl that you set in Open Site Explorer on the same domain?

Disavow 60% of the external links?
Hi guys, We just discovered that our website got a 16% Spam Score based on MOZ reports, while less than 1 year ago we had a good 1% if I'm not mistaken. Therefore we ran an audit of the external links to our website and discovered that about 60% of them are irrelevant such as: referral page not available anymore (or not found, or domain not accessible) irrelevant web directories for our business Impossible to contact the owner of these pages or remove the links towards our website.

Is the Disavow tool an acceptable option in this case? Could this lower our Spam Score and make a better impression in "Google's eyes"? 60% seems quite a lot of backlinks, but they are also not relevant, and we want to focus on creating better quality referrals in the next months. I would really appreciate an opinion on this, and how would you proceed in this case.0 -

Why there is high DA for blank brand new sites?
I bought a domain name directly from the registrar 1 year ago. This Domain name has a very good combination of words and .biz extension. I didn't really do anything, I have default wordpress and GA installation. Now I check this site with Moz Bar and OSE and see it has 9DA and 21PA. How come? Quick Facts: Since October last year it has 1000 hits. 9 external links - all links from random domain directories/listings Any ideas how brand new domain name with no original content can have DA9 not DA1?
