How do I download a CSV of inbound links?

[Lina500]

Just signed up and have a lot of (probably stupid) questions! When I go to my campaign in Moz Pro, Links, Link Analysis, I see a long list of inbound links. However, the only option is to export it into CSV via the Open Site Explorer, but when I open that up the list of links is completely different (and much smaller) than the one in the Link Analysis section. Is there a way to download the links listed in the Link Analysis section, and what is hhe different between the links listed here and in the OSE?

Anytime!

Thank you! I now see that I was filtering for "this page" and the links I saw elsewhere were for other pages. I can see them all now

Hi Lina

To match the URLs in OSE for inbound links

Search the root domain of the URL

Set the filters to:

Target: This root domain
Link source: all pages
Link Type: all links

To obtain the FULL backlink profile, you would have the build an application to access our database via paid API apiwiki.moz.com

I'm sorry, I don't understand. I'm seeing domains in the link analysis that don't show up in any form in the OSE.

Is there a way to download all of my inbound links that are found in the Link Analysis section?

Hello!

In OSE we can show page metrics and only domain/sub-domain in Moz Analytics since we only show a snapshot of data there.

When looking at inbound links in OSE you can adjust the filters to show all pages on the root domain, all links (of external/internal or both).

If you have a lot of backlinks from the same domain, we cap the link data to 25 per linking root domain to help show diversity.

Hope this helps

Actually a good question. I havent stopped to look at this one before, following OSE for me the links are similar but definitly not the same.

I cant help with this one, but i'd love to know the answer!
