What do these link terms mean?
-
I'm not sure what all of the different link terms mean:
-External, followed links
-Internal, nofollowed links
-External, nofollowed links
-Internal, no followed links
-Total linking domains
-Followed linking domains
What are the differences?
Which metric will indicate the total # of other sites that are linking to my site?
Thank you!

That will be 'Total linking domains' . It's the number of different sites that are linking to yours. The second one that otherwise would be used is the sum of the two external links (follow/nofollow). That's the number that you'd get if you take the number of links from every individual name.

Open Site Explorer -> Just Discovered -> Internal Links: Only shown 1 url link per day
Hi, We have a page that have like 10-15 new content/pages per day.
Link Explorer | | Inspiringinterns
eg. domain.com/post-id-01/, omain.com/post-id-02/, omain.com/post-id-03/ etc
But somehow, under Just-Discovered, internal links only show 1 per day when it suppose to display like 10-15.
The layout for each pages is exact same except for the content changes and the url's ID changes. Our competitor on the other hand, they have like 5 new page per day, but somehow Moz shows their internal links as 25 per days. Each of their new url have 4 more prefix number.
Eg:
new-page-01?track=990
new-page-01?track=991
new-page-01?track=992 etc
The above example url is technically as 1 page if without the "?" affix. Whiles all our new pages/url have unique id, but Moz only show 1 a day. Please advise on how to get Moz to shows all the new pages in Just-Discovered (internal link). Thanks, Cam0 -

Links from no-indexed pages in Open Site Explorer
I just looked up a site in Open Site Explorer. After putting in the site, I get a list of domains, links etc which is very useful. At the bottom is a note which I have pasted below. It mentions "24 links from no-indexed pages" and says we can't get any info on these. Is there a way to see what the 24 links are so I can investigate further?"Why does my number of inbounds links listed not match my total links count? The listed number may be slightly different because we only show 25 links per domain (so that you see a variety). Additionally you have 24 links from no-indexed pages. Unfortunately, we can't get info for those links."

External Followed Links report
I would like to know, how do I get a report with the TOTAL amount of my external followed links.When I look on "Link Metric" it shows me: External Followed Links 2,951 But when I looked on Inbound links (only follow / only external), it shows me only 645. Why is that and how do I get the total from 2.951? Thanks
