I will appreciate the exact definition of the term External followed Links and the term Followed Linking Root Domain when using OpenSiteExplorer on Page level and on Sub-domain level.
let's say my site is www.eitan.com and that's my home page as well.
which of the following will be consider as external link / linking root domain?
Thanks a lot

Hey Lawrence,
Thanks for the heads up - I read the question too fast and missed the root domain. I've edited my answer to reflect this.
Cheers.

Cyrus what you are saying makes no sense. You are contradicting yourself:
A. there is only 1 external linking root domain, which is "www.eitan.es"
B. You said "An external link is a link from an external root domain," but "www.eitan.es" IS an external root domain that is linking www.eitan.com

To add to what Nicholas has said, in terms of OSE, all of these are on the same root domain except for www.eitan.es. The rest all reside on eitan.com, so that's a total of 2 linking root domains.
An external link, within OSE, is defined as a link from an external root domain. So in this case, there is 1 external links, at least according to the way Open Site Explorer counts external links.
Also, Google sometimes counts links from subdomains as external, sometimes as internal, depending on how much they believe the subdomains are related to one another.

Someone else'll smack me if I'm wrong, however:
That's your only external linking root domain. And, your only true external link, too. Since September Google has considered subdomains internal links.

Tumblr and Link Equity
Hi Moz Community, I've recently decided to start a project where I gather 1,000 great examples of something that's searched for often, and am thinking that posting it to a Tumblr site like the following website did could be a great way to pass link equity back to my main site (with a little "site by [my site]" somewhere in the header or footer). While I was super pumped about this idea today, and have now gathered almost 500 of my examples (mentioned above), I am not seeing link equity passed from this site, even on the non-redirected links here: http://gothamlogos.tumblr.com/ Anyone have any experience with projects like this? I've checked read the Moz Tumblr and SEO article from a few years ago, which makes it seem like this should be an SEO "win"... But using the Moz Pro account tools, I'm not seeing any of these non-redirect links (ordinary links) giving any value to anyone on this example site. Thanks so much in advance, Zack

No follow links also been reported in SEOmoz crawl diagnostics
Hi, Why does SEOmoz reports links which has been marked as 'nofollow'. I am getting 'Overly-Dynamic URL' reports on links which I have designated as nofollow which means Google will discount them. So why does SEOmoz still report them. Thanks.

How can I download all the inbound links to my Site?
Hi, From Site Explorer, I want to download all the inbound links linking to my site: www.comm100.com/livechat/. But it seems that there is a limitation. I can only download a part of the inbound links? What should I do? Or is it because my account is free trial? Do I have to pay for it? Please help. Thanks,

Missing Juicy link finder
Hello, In the past, I was using two tools mainly: Keyword difficulty and the Juicy link finder. Buit Juicy Link Finder does not exist anymore and I miss it 😞 Any of you are missing it also? Do any of you who were using that tool have found a new tool to do the same good job than what Juicy Link Finder was doing? Thanks Nancy
