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.

Old links that need to be removed
We are having a problem trying to get rid of old links that have been removed from a website that no longer exists. See links below-There are several more that we need to deal with. We have tried putting them into Google Search Console, but they keep reappearing with Moz. Since our new website is hosted on Hubspot now and not on WordPress, which these links are referring to, we are trying to determine how to remove them from being indexed since they don't exist anymore? http://intouch-marketing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/mas.png

Can using url builder for campaign tracking impact link equity?
We have used the URL builder tools for building custom links that are placed on our referrer websites mainly for campaign tracking in Google Analytics, but when you use a shortened link on another website how does that impact the the link juice or equity? Is there any negative impact on the link rankings? Or should you provide the specific landing page url to the company that will be posting a link to your site?

OSE - Group by Domain Export
When exporting inbound link data from OSE, it seems to lose the "group by domain" filter. Is it possible to download the data like that or do I need to filter through all the links myself? Thanks!

Is there a way to get the domain authority of a subdomain?
For example, www.storage-mart.com and us.storage-mart.com both show the same DA in OSE. I believe it's the DA of the root domain. How can I compare the DA of the 'www' and 'us' subdomains?

Why can't I change the domain being tracked in my campaign?
Apologies if this has already been answered a million times and/or if I'm posting this in the wrong place... I did look, but couldn't find the answer anywhere... I just realized that all this time I have been tracking www.mydomain.com in my campaign for a long time now, while I should probably have been tracking *.mydomain.com. I wanted to change this, but it looks like I can't. If I have to set up a whole new campaign, with all of the same keywords, competitive sites to track, etc., that will take forever. Why can't I just change it so that my campaign starts tracking *.mydomain.com instead of www.mydomain.com from now on? Thank you!

Can't find email address or contact form on website I want link from
Hi, How do you use whois or other resources to find an email address for a site that doesn't list their email address or have a contact form? Our competitors look like they have contacted the site but I don't know how to contact the site myself. They have a facebook fan page and a twitter account. Thanks.

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?
