Moz showing +3M new inbound links. But nowhere to find them?
-
Hi there
Moz is showing a +3M backlink rise in the dashboard for one of our domains. The site has always had around 350K backlinks and in Ahrefs and Majestic it still shows this number. But Moz shows a growth of +3M in the last two weeks. Is there a way to see where these backlinks come from in OSE? I can't seem to understand how it is possible to see this somehow. Can it be a mistake of Moz maybe?

Thank you for your answer Lisa.
Will do.

Hi there! Sorry for any confusion.
In a case like this it's hard to determine what's going on without investigating the campaign itself, so if you are still unsure why this data is populating I'd recommend reaching out to the Help team at help@moz.com to take a closer look. We'll be happy to help diagnose what's going on.

Really looks like an anomaly. Wait for the next update and see what happens.

Hi Donald,
Thank you for your answer. I don't think it can be the combined external and internal links. (see attachment) I have also tried the filters in OSE, but still can't figure out where the links come from. And isn't it strange that Ahrefs and Majestic show a totally different amount of backlinks than Moz?
Thank you.

Snorkel,
How large is your website? In OSE try using some of the filters. What you may be seeing is the combined external and internal links.

Low Internal Equity-Passing Links: Open Ste Explorer Issue
Does anyone know why Open Site Explorer shows so few Internal Equity Passing Links? When a page is part of the main navigation of a website and the website has over 3500 pages indexed in Google with high DA's why would the Open Site Explorer number be so low? I have run scans on other tools and see a much larger number than OSE reports. Thoughts? Has anyone else ever experienced that?

Dofollow link from Moz user profile still not showing in OpenSiteExplorer
Hi everyone! Refering to my last question http://moz.com/community/q/dofollow-link-from-moz-user-profile-not-showing-in-opensiteexplorer, the last update was on March 10 and I'm still searching my dofollow link from my Moz user profile http://moz.com/community/users/625691 after have 200 MozPoints, Opensiteexplorer only found the nofollow link from the icon, but nothing from the anchor text of my URL. Is possible that only take the first link to my blog and ignore the rest if it have the same href? 😞 Thanks! fTdwaO6.png

Removing the clutter of site-wide links
I have a multi-part question with regard to the moz link index and some presentation suggestions. Firstly I would be interested to know how the link index treats site-wide links with regard to metrics such as DA, and PA. We all know that it is highly likely that SE's are unlikely to pass full link value across from sitewide links, and therefore it would make sense for Moz values to account for this as well - if they do not already. One annoying thing that also relates to sitewides is that they tend to clutter the much of the information presentation in a few of the tools (you can't see wood for trees as it were). This is most prominent in the "Just Discovered" page - if you have a sitewides on a large site, you can often find that this screen is just totally filled with these links as they are found. It would be very useful to be able to filter these out, as they are of little interest - currently I can't see a way of filtering them out. A further value where they create to much noise is the 'Total Links' value. Where sitewides are included in this value, the value actually becomes pretty meaningless as you can find that the majority of that value is sitewides. It would therefore be useful if there was another value for 'Total Links - Excluding Sitewides' where maybe value of 1 was just added to the count for a site wide
