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?

Hi Jabbate!
I know we answered your question through the customer service ticket you submitted, but I thought I'd show it here too in case anyone else had the same question. So, here goes:
You can obtain more than 25 links per domain by using our API, which allows you to build your own tools off of our database. If you have an SEOmoz account you can generate credentials there and start playing around instantly. You will need a developer to write some code so that you can make requests for information directly to our database. That developer will probably also need to build you an interface so you can view the results and make sense of them. The API allows you to innovate and build your own tools, or incorporate our data into tools you already have.
You can learn more about the API here: http://apiwiki.seomoz.org You can review sample code here:http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/w/page/Sample-Code
Let me know if there are any questions!

Thanks. That would work but it seems like there should be an easier way. OSE has the info so I don't know why it's not accessible. I can't believe this issue hasn't come up before. I sent a support request to MOZ on this topic and haven't heard anything yet. I can't believe this hasn't come up before.

You could run Xenu Link sleuth on each of the domains then sort by name until you find how many links go out from it to a specific URL. Will take a while to run if they're big sites but still.

Percentage of good links vs. bad
Hi Does anyone know the best way of determining good links from bad links using the SEO Moz tools? I bought some directory links to two or three pages on my site a few years back. The were all very obviously spammy because of the anchor text and I didn't have a high enough ratio of good links to counteract them. I read somewhere that if more than 10% of the links to a page have the same (or similar) anchor text, it's obvious that you're on the bad list.

Link reporting.
Is there a way in the Pro reporting where I can see a summary of the number of incoming links by type (blogs / news / wiki / dir / forums etc)? Even better, could the report give me an average Page Rank for each link type? Thanks,

Too Many On-Page Links
The SeoMoz site crawler says all my pages have too many links. I am using Dreamweaver with a horizontal Spry drop-down menu bar. My site has several hundred pages and about 100 of them show up in this Spry menu bar. I believe that this would be considered a false positive for too many links - am I right? Or is Google seeing this also as too many links per page? I am trying to get my Google rankings back after being hurt badly by the Penguin. I am using php but don't see another way to do the site links without going to a CMS type site. Thanks for any help you can give.

This been there for 7 months They are gone...Now i have these 2 new backlinks both pr8 and pr9 not showing up in the top of the list..They are both cached .I can see them in the cached links .. ** But where the heck is my new links ??? been about 1-2 months ..shoudnt these show up in the top of open site exploreer??
