Can I get a list of all links on a given domain?
-
Sorry, this is actually kind of a tripartite question:
I was looking at the Competitive Link Analysis on one my clients' campaigns. Sometime between June and September their total links went up by about 120,000. We have no idea where those links came from (although the numbers would indicate that they're mostly internal).
Question 1: In none of the other tools can I figure out how to list these links on a domain level. Is there a way to get a list of all links for our given domain?
I've been playing around with the page-by-page and even that doesn't show me everything. For example, I'm looking at OSE for their homepage and it lists 45 links for a page that it claims has 151 total.
Question 2: How did it pick those 45 to display out of the 151 possible? If these are only external links, why do half of them come from one of our subdomains?
Also...
Question 3: If our client hasn't made any major changes recently, why has the number of internal links gone up so dramatically?
Thanks.

Hi Bozzie,
Sorry to hear about this problem. I'd also suggest emailing the help desk and sending them a copy of your CSV so they can help you out.

I have also had the same issue of ose not exporting all the ones it said it found.

Ok. Thanks.

I'd email your information to the help desk at help@seomoz.org and include details about your search and a copy of the CSV in case this is a bug they need to look into.

Hey Bryant,
Thanks for answering my questions.
I do have a follow-up, if someone can help me out with this:
I went back and applied the "all links" "external" and "root domain" filters. OSE told me there were 368 results. When I exported them to CSV, however, it only returned 79.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks again.

Hi, Mackenzie Fogelson
This could have something to do with the recent linkscape updates talked about here and here. Basiclly, there have been some changes in how many sites ose is able to crawl, and how deep into the sites they crawl.
When you run a scan in OSE, you can always filter the results by "all links" ,"external", and "all links to the root domain" After you run this report try cross referencing it in Google Webmaster Tools, or Yahoo's site explorer tools.
Hope this help.

A mass of spammy links pointing to our domain from dynu.net
Hi MOZ community! Need some help with some strange activity on the link profile of a website I manage... I have noticed since the 4th of August a mass of links pointing to one of our domains. It looks like some kind of attack from dynu.net. I am seeing 100s of different subdomains from this website in the Discovered and Lost area, with DA 1. They are linking to us from very low quality pages with no CSS, that includes just random text. Anybody seeing anything similar or from the same website? Our links report example: https://imgur.com/a/y7pAopJ Also, what is the correct process to deal with such instances? We have used Google's disavow in the past, but I have read that Google are quite proactive at recognizing spammy links, and webmasters don't really need to use that tool. Much appreciated! y7pAopJ

What to look for with Domain Authority?
Hi, Our site has fluctuated between 20 and 22 DA for six months, but today it jumped to 27. Is that a sign we are doing something right or is 5 points within the DA's fluctuations pretty standard? Thanks, Ruben

When will links appear
When will links appear? Hi I submitted one of our products to a range of beauty bloggers and all of the reviews came back, really positive, along with links to our site. However when I run a back link report in open site explorer only one of these links is showing up even though the links all went live at about the same time. Can any one explain this in discrepancy?

Can I change the crawl day ?
Hi All I hope there is a simple solution to this - we have a number of campaigns setup which are all crawled, and therefore updated, on different days of the week. We review these weekly and it would be much easier if they were all crawled on the same day. Is it possible to change the crawl day for some campaigns? Thanks Roy

In OSE is there a way to see the total number or links coming from each domain?
Open site explorer will only show up to to 25 links per domain but in order to fully understand the link profile for the site I'm working on, I need to know how many links are coming from each domain - when I download the linking domains report, it doesn't contain this information. Is there a way to access it?
