How do you check for .gov and .edu backlinks using the new link explorer?
-
I'm trying to do an audit but I can't seem to figure out how to find .edu and .gov backlinks from the new link explorer. Can someone please help? I'm trying to learn how as open site explorer will be replaced by the link explorer.
Thank you!

It shouldn't take too long to generate

I guess that's the easiest way to do it. It just takes time to generate so I looked for other ways. Thanks anyway.

Yes, I did try the Ctrl + F but I was looking for a faster process since I can only view about 50 rows and if this certain site has thousands of linking domains then I'd have to click next and do the search command for each page. Thanks for your help by the way!

Following on from Nicholas's answer. Once you are in the 'Linking Domains' section you can also choose to export as a CSV should you have numerous linking domains and search that way
Let me know if you have any other questions!

One way to do it is to enter whatever you are URL you are plugging into the Link Explorer, then go to "Linking Domains" on the left-hand menu. Once there you can do a "Command + F", or whatever the search command is on your computer, and then search .gov or .edu to see if the URL you typed in has an .edu or .gov links pointing to it.
Although I would start with Moz's Link Explorer, this may be a good link search to cross-reference with Ahrefs, as they will show you if the Domain has any .gov or .edu links in the general overview once you enter a URL to analyze.

How spam score will be calculated for the domain without any content or backlinks?
Hi Moz team, I have noticed that one of our old domain has high spam score of 9. This has been redirected to our domain around 2 years back. I can see that old domain doesn't have any back links. Then how come the spam score have been calculated for this? If there is any metric for this, we just wanna remove redirecting this spammy old domain to our domain. Please clarify. Thanks

Inbound links not found in Moz Pro(though they exist)
These sites have many inbound links but Moz Pro finds no such links. I also used SimilarWebPro Trial to confirm the existing of such links. (these sites have IP block so it requires an VPN to access with Japan IP) osakado.cc

Open site explorer is giving me strange redirect message.
Hi all, I tried to find answer in help section. Few people have asked this before but in none of the answers it tells how they fix it. Sorry I will need to ask here again. In Open Site Explorer i get this message. You entered the URL https://a-fotografy.co.uk/ which redirects to http://www.a-fotografy.co.uk/. Because it's likely to have more accurate metrics, we're showing data for the redirected URL instead. Click here to analyze https://a-fotografy.co.uk/ instead? My current site is https://a-fotografy.co.uk/ not sure why it is redirecting to my old domain. Weird. My web developer couldn't explain this issue. Saying that I also go my first analytics report and in priority issues I have http://a-fotografy.co.uk 302 redirect and not sure where it is redirecting to. If someone could shed some light of how to figure out how to find exactly what is redirecting to what and where is the problem. Thank you guys, Regards, Armands

Why do my spammy backlinks still appear on my Open Site Explorer page after removal?
I used the organic spam backlink removal tactic of emailing owners of sites of spam rank 7 or higher on my page. It has been weeks since many of the harmful links were removed, yet they remain listed on my Open site Explorer page. My fear is that somehow simply getting these links removed doesn't exempt me from the potential to be penalized by Google crawlers. Does it take longer than a few weeks for these links to disappear from the Open Site Explorer, or is there something else I need to be doing? Any and all advice appreciated. Ben

How to check what websites your website is linking to
We recently transitioned away from a third party website using a different domain. A lot of our blog posts still link to this domain. Is there a tool offered by Moz that crawls your website and provides a report of all websites that your website is linking to?
