Open Site Explorer Link Metrics
-
I'm new to SEOMOZ. I have a Pro account and have been messing with the tools available. I ran a report in Open Site Explorer on one of my prospects. I also entered in several of their competitors to see how they rank.
I would like to show the report to my prospective client but couldn't figure out how to download the information. Is that info available for download? Does anyone have a recommendation for showing prospects how they rank against their competitors.
Any help appreciated.

It's been over 2 years since this question was raised. Would also love to see an export option for compare metrics. Any idea as to when it will be added?

As there are so many more good visual analytics tools coming on the market and visual comparison tools coming out, this is exactly the sort of format that people want to present their data to clients to easily understand.
So when you see the good visuals and data in the seomoz competitor report but have no way of extracting that its a bit frustrating.For now i use alternative tools but hope seomoz implements some simple pdf export soon.

Thanks for reaching out to us- this is Abe from the SEOmoz help team. Even though this export feature is not currently available in Opensiteexplorer, you can export this exact information from the Link Analysis link in the SEOmoz PRO Web App. This would be a great addition to OSE, I do agree. I would recommend sending a feature request so we can hopefully implement this export option within OSE in the future: http://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requests
I hope this helps!

I am also looking to download the 'compare link metics' but doesn't appear to be a button for it?
Who would like to chip in with an answer to this please?

Open Site Explorer Missing URL's
I see a link to my site on a couple different url's, but they are not listed in OSE. The links have been active for a long time too. Does OSE not track all inbound links from all sites? Thanks, Stephen

Link Count Per Page Including JavaScript Links - Should We Worry About Them?
With large ecommerce sites, we usually have more than 100 links per page and many times have more than 200 links on each page due to links and images in the header, footer, guided navigation and then the body product grid and content. When I use most on-page link counting tools like SEO x-ray and the SEO Moz Pro crawl report, I notice that every visible link on the page gets counted. This includes and javascript based links that expand the product grid to 30, 60 or view all, javascript sorting links, javascript links to view customer reviews for each product. etc. There was a QA post here http://www.seomoz.org/q/should-i-nofollow-the-main-navigation-on-certain-pages about nofollowing and page rank sculpting and it seems pretty unanimous that most don't think that page rank sculpting is very valuable. So my question is, are the javascript links on pages that don't link to another page viewed differently by search engines? If so, shouldn't there be a way to see on-page link count minus javascript call links that don't actually link to another page? To expand a bit on my question, we also use nofollow attributes on the text links in the left navigation that are meant for refining products just as the javascript links in the product grid are meant to refine the products, sort them, allow for product comparison, allow for viewing customer reviews, etc. So should it be ok to have 300 links on a page if the unimportant ones that you don't want crawled like the left navigation refinements and product grid javascript links all have rel="nofollow" applied to them? I know that would basicly be PageRank sculting, but it seems like the best options for shopping sites that have a lot of navigation links.
