Different numbers in Moz bar vs. OSE
-
Hi,
On a Google SERP, when i activate the MOZ toolbar one of the sites says it has 1,258 links / 667 RDs. But when I open this same site up in OSE I get 3 inbound links (see attch). What's going on?

Hi there! Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
This could simply be a case where that example you've linked has the results filtered to 'this page' as opposed to 'this root domain' or 'this subdomain'. If instead you filter by root domain, you should see a far higher number of links populate in OSE.
If you're still seeing strange results, it would be great if you could pop an email over to help@moz.com so we can take a deeper dive into this:).

Why Moz Link Explorer is showing wrong data?
Hi everyone. I am using Moz Link Explorer to find relevant links from competitors and when I narrow it down to Link Type: Follow Status: Active I get the list. All good here... BUT ... Inspecting the actual link on the page there is a no=follow attached to it. Is this feature still working properly on the new Link Explorer or is a bug? Thanks!

Is OSE having problems?
The healthpage says it is operational but I'm getting a ton of 'There was an error getting your data' messages. First I thought, it just happens to smaller pages, since testing it with moz.com worked. But even pages like nbc.com give me this error. I tried logging out an in again and even swithcing browsers - without success. Anyone else having problems like this right now? Cheers, Chris

Top Pages in OSE
Hey, I'm using OSE to determine top pages for some domains. This works great for some sites, but I'm finding with a few sites only the home page comes up in the 'top pages' list - is this because the home page is the only one with a PA above one? Cheers

Am I using OSE wrong?
Hi - new to all this! A link on a competitor site is showing as 404 when I check it with OSE but nothing on the page seems to be broken. It's got loads of links to it, so I'm trying to work out what's going on. I just filtered the results by '40?'. Thanks

Does Moz allow you to upload your disavow to take into account when analysing links?
I was wondering if moz allows you to upload your disavow file and if it has a consideration in the data supplied? Otherwise how can we accurately use moz to understand the true analytics of our site?
