How can I get a Moz crawl report of 404 errors on my site
-
I have a Moz subscription and I see dead links on my website that link externally.
Is there a Moz crawl report which will show me these 404 errors and which pages on my site those 404 links are on?

I started to answer this one way, but then I looked again and you were looking for links from your website to external sites that are broken, yes? I do not know of a way to do this on Moz (though you can look at broken internal links), but you can do this with Screaming Frog. (A great resource to have for a lot of things...)

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out!
You can see 404 errors for your own domain in the Crawl Diagnostics section, and you can see broken links which are linking to your site by running a 'Top Pages' report that specifies 4XX HTTP status through Open Site Explorer. However, it sounds like you're looking for the broken links on your site which are linking to 404 errors.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is a quick way to get all of that info in one report. You could run the Open Site Explorer report from above for domains that you know you are linking to, but other than that I don't think there is another tool we have for that. I apologize, but I hope this helps! Have a great day!

How to Fix Repeating 404 Error on Blog
I've been getting this same 404 Error for a ton of pages on my blog (blog.twowayradiosfor.com) out of nowhere and I can't figure out how to fix it. I have about 500 of them that are experiencing the same issue (as shown in the image I've attached/linked to). It has the correct link, then the part that gets flagged as 404 adds a /TwoWayRadiosFor.com at the end, which is apparently the issue. Is there a reason these have just now appeared even though the blog posts are from years ago? Is there an easy way to fix it? Thanks, Sawyer dF6mUJQ

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

Open Site Explorer Question
Hello Mozers. It has been a while 🙂 OK - I run an open site explorer report, toggle over to 'Linking Domains' because I am more interested in the number of actual websites that link to my client rather than the number of links my client has (and of course what websites are linking) and although I have been doing this for years there is one little thing I am a bit confused about. The report shows (from left to right) the 'Linking Root Domain", the "Domain Authority" for the linking domain and then the 'Number of Linking Root Domains" for each 'Linking Root Domain" My question is (rather stupid, I am sure) is the number of linking root domains for each linking root domain the number of websites linking to them OR the number of websites to which they link?

How Can I Check New Backlinks?
I have attempted to use Open Site Explorer to attempt to see if the work I have been doing to earn new links is working and I cannot seem to find any new links. I tried the "just Discovered" beta, but I think that relies on Twitter, which these links would not appear on. How can I effectively monitor for new links (1 week or less in age) either using a Moz tool or an external tool that shows the date each link was discovered?
