Low Internal Equity-Passing Links: Open Ste Explorer Issue
-
Does anyone know why Open Site Explorer shows so few Internal Equity Passing Links? When a page is part of the main navigation of a website and the website has over 3500 pages indexed in Google with high DA's why would the Open Site Explorer number be so low?
I have run scans on other tools and see a much larger number than OSE reports.
Thoughts? Has anyone else ever experienced that?

Hi there.
Do any of those navigation links have nofollow attributes or 302 or 4xx statuses?
Also it might be due to crawling history on your website. OSE relies on data from MOZscape crawls, which means that if your website is fairly new or haven't been indexed often enough for whatever reasons, it will be showing fewer pages. links etc overall. Also, since MOZbot has the crawl limit per domain, and you have thousands of pages, the issue might be that mozbot reaching limit before crawling every page.
Hope this helps.

Unsolved My DA does not increase and Moz does not recognize my links
Hello everyone. My website (I am attaching the link to it, if you cannot attach the link remove it but please give me an answer) https://mejorhora.com/ 3 MONTHS ago I made different redirections from other websites that I have with high authority in order to increase both the Da and the DR since I sell links to that website and it suits me. Ahref showed me all the links after a few days, also in search console. However, in Moz it does not recognize more than 500 new domains that give me links. Because? It's been 3 months... What should I do?

Why does Open site explorer only show a fraction of the linked Domains that Google does?
One of my sites ( http://www.georgerossphotography.com ) shows 19 root domains and 155 links on Open Site Explorer. This doesn't pass the sniff test with me and when I look at Google Webmasters they show 120 domains with 1,870 links. I am assuming that Google use it's own data for ranking purposes which makes me question the validity of Open Site Explorer? Am I missing something ? I have been using OSE as my primary tool and now I feel that it has little value. I would appreciate any feedback. George.
