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?

Link Explorer is not working for particular domain
Hello, Linking Domain section in Link Explorer is not working fine for sewingmachineprice.com. When I put this domain to analyze for backlinks it says, "You entered the URL https://sewingmachineprice.com/ which redirects to www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=sewingmachineprice&e=com. Click here to analyze www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=sewingmachineprice&e=com instead." In fact, this domain is not redirected to any third domain or URL. I personally checked it and can access this website without any redirection.

Open Site Explorer doesn't show local directories or citation links?
Why is it that when I run a link analysis for my local business sites I don't see any links from Yelp, Google+, Facebook, any local citations? Regardless of them being follow or no follow isn't the hyperlink to a website from a Yelp profile considered a link? Same with any other local business directory? I know the company is listed on a few dozen because I can see it manually but it's not showing up in Moz? Why is it that all local directories and citations with website are omitted? And since it is not there, where is a good place to go to discover these things? I have tried whitespark. It was okay but honestly I wasn't terribly impressed. The data was good, the UI was just okay, but with smaller clients it was an initial check and then very occasional checks that needed to happen. We would go months without using it.
