SEOmoz Toolbar vs. Opensiteexplorer
-
Dumb question, why is the SEOmoz Toolbar reporting vastly different data than opensitexplorer?
I had assumed they pulled from the same data set. False assumption? Am I misinterpreting the metrics?
The discrepancies with which I am most confused are differences in number of root linking domains between OSE and Toolbar.
Please enlighten me.

Yeah I don't bother with ALM anymore, it doesn't track like it's supposed to even with the API. AWR is great but ALM is close to useless in my opinion.

Thanks Jennifer, I think my issue is with the way Caphyon's Advanced Link Manager is accessing SEOmoz's linkscape API.

Hi! OSE and the toolbar do use the same data, they both pull from the Linkscape index. It would be helpful to take a look at a specific URL so I can help point out what's what. But one thing to note, as Daniel already mentioned, when you're looking at the toolbar it shows both Page data and Root Domain data. In OSE at first glance you're getting just the data for that page. If you click on the "Full List of Link Metrics" tab, you'll see the exact same numbers.
Hope this helps! I'm happy to help further by looking at specific URLs.
Thanks!

Thanks Daniel. I think my issue has something to do with the way my SEOmoz Pro account is integrating with Caphyon Advanced Link Manager.
For some reason it's not pulling all the domains from linkscape.

Depends on what you are looking at. When you look up the URL in OSE, it will show you linking domains to that URL, not to the whole domain. If in OSE you go to the full link metrics tab you can see everything on that url and domain, and all of those numbers should be in the toolbar somewhere.
