        Hi There,

        So Leonie is correct that Open Site Explorer is the best way to check your backlink profile. 🙂 As a bit of an addendum you can find an amazing rundown of OSE in our help hub at: http://moz.com/help/guides/research-tools/open-site-explorer.

        This should give you a feel for if OSE is right for you, and if you have any questions on it please feel free to let me know or write into help@moz.com.

        Hopefully this helps and have an amazing day!

            anchor text

            Moz Pro is telling me that "get free high quality hd wallpapers designed home" is one of the top anchor texts in backlinks to my website, larrybohenwebsolutions.com. This anchor text has nothing to do with my website. How do I find out where this anchor text is used and how to fix?

            How is Moz DA affected by spam links? Disavow file?

            So it does not appear that moz let's you upload your disavow file.  So when moz calculates your DA how do spammy links factor in? After digging through our GA it appears our site was hit with the 2016 penguin update and never recovered.  Our weekly visitors were 2k, then dropped to 500 and have stayed close to that level for a while. We've used the disavow tool, without success over the past 3 years.  During that time we have done link out reach and built around 10 legit good quality DA links since.  But we have not recovered.  At this point i'm thinking I should just remove the disavow file. Moz says our spam score for our domain is 5%.

            Subdomain and nofollow backlinks are used to calculate the domain authority?

            Greetings, I have a couple of questions about domain authority. 1 - The backlinks that come from different subdomains count several times or only once coming from the same domain? 2 - The nofollow backlinks are used to calculate the domain authority? Thank you.

            Is Moz's backlink checker.... just... not good?

            Hey everyone! Can somebody explain to me why this keeps happening: Whenever I'm trying to backlink my competitors, I typically use RavenTools. Every time, without fail, if I put that same URL into Moz's Open Site Explorer - It gives me about 1/20th of what RavenTools shows me. Sometimes it literally comes up with 2 or 3 links total. Unfortunately, RavenTools has a cap on how many backlink checks you can perform in a month - so once I've used those up, I have to start using OSE... But, it just doesn't work. Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks!

            Does Moz have anything similar to ahrefs batch analysis tool?

            I am wanting to do analysis of a whole bunch of URLs at once - i know ahrefs already has a very good tool for this - but I don't really want to have to pay the $79 a month if moz has something similar? I know it has the OSE. Can I do batch analysis in this? Thanks

            Why Open Site Explorer is Showing 0 Total Internal Links?

            Open Site Explorer is reporting "0" value under "Total Internal Links" as well as "Internal Followed Links" metrics for my website. I have a good interlinking of pages throughout the site.
            Is there an issue with OSE (Open Site Explorer) crawler ? OR There are some crawling problems with our Website's structure ?
            Can anybody please give an idea or recommendations on this ?
