Open Site Explorer only showing 10 internal links, and 270 external links
-
Hi, I run the website www.abackpackerstale.com ,and for some reasons opensite explorer is only showing 10 internal links, and a 200 and something external links.
How can I fix this as I am sure it is hurting my DA authority, and overall site score.
Thanks!

Hi Stephen!
My name is Erin, and I'm on the Moz Help Team. Thanks for reaching out! Pixelbypixel is totally right, OSE isn't the end all be all of SEO.
I looked into your site, and I'm guessing that the reason we're only pulling 10 internal links into the index is because your site has javascript. OSE has always had a heck of a time crawling past javascript, which would explain why you aren't seeing more links. I agree with Pixelbypixel in that it's good to compare with Majestic and Ahrefs. Each index will give you a different perspective on how your site it doing.
I hope this helps, and happy Tuesday!

Did you remember to change your filter from "this page" to "Pages on this root domain" ?
-
Hey! Thanks for the super fast response.
I am looking at the Internal Equity- Passing Links
| Internal Equity-Passing Links: Number of equity-passing links that come from pages on the same root domain as this URL. Equity-passing links are those that search engines generally consider to pass ranking value. These include followed links, 301 redirects, rel=canonical, and URL rewrites that send a 301 response code. | 10 |

Hiya,
If you are worried you can always run "fetch as Google" this should let you know if Google has any problems. Running a Moz pro report is also a great way to detect any problems or errors on your site.
I see a lot more than 10 internal links. Have you got your filters set up to exclude a lot maybe?
-
Right on. Thanks for the answer. However, I should have been more clear. For the internal links some of them have been set in place for years. Would there be something wrong in my code that is stopping this from showing up in Open Site explorer.

Hi Stephen,
First off don't worry about it hurting your site, its simply software that gives a rough indicator of quality. It is not the be all and end all of SEO. I recommend when looking at back links you also compare with other similar software like Majestic SEO & Ahrefs.
OSE sometimes takes a little while to get around to crawling all links and as I mentioned its only a guide to success not a guarantee. So don't panic and continue with your SEO strategy as well as checking other sources so you can get the best idea of how you are doing.
Hope that helps & good luck.

Link Explorer Export
Does anyone know how to export more than 50 keywords at a time from Link Explorer? I'm trying to extract the keywords from a competitor domain to do some analysis/big data queries. I'm using the link Explorer but I can't see any way to export more than 50 keywords at a time! The total I can export seems to be around 100k but it's going to take a very long time if I've got to do 50 at a ago!

Is this site linking to us?
Hi, Moz OSE does not recognize this site as linking to our site, but I feel like it has to be. Here is the code and the link to the site: http://www.avvo.com/attorneys/34655-fl-stacy-kemp-1843513.html#contact [https://kemprugegreen.com/location/tampa/tampa-car-auto-accident-attorney/](<a class=)" target="_blank">https://kemprugegreen.com/location/tampa/tampa-car-auto-accident-attorney/ So are they linking to us? If so, how come OSE cant find it? It lists it for our competitors. Thanks, Ruben

What could have caused Total links to drop from 860,000 to 93,127 in Open Site Explorer?
I've been monitoring root domain total links for a website over the past couple of months and recently noticed a significant drop at the beginning of July.Specifically, I have been tracking the total links for the root domain using open site explorer. Since April the total number or links has been fluctuating among 860,000 - 865,000. However at the beginning of July, they dropped to 93,127 and now sit only at 110,831.This is a very significant and troubling decrease and I am wondering what the cause could be? Did Moz change the way they report/determine the total link metrics? It is especially baffling since neither total internal nor total external links have seen significant decreases.

SEOmoz not showing latest backlinks
Hi, How come open site explore(come with SEOmoz tool) not showing new backlinks created by me a month ago? I faced same issue while using other tools for the same. All of them show up old backlinks but not the new ones created recently. However, the Google Webmaster Tool updates me with this recent development. Any reason?
