OSE vs google webmaster link data
-
Hiya experts,
I am trying to understand the OSE. One thing I noticed is that OSE shows 12 linking root domains to our site. However, google webmasters show more than 90(that have kinks to pages on our site). And these are not new links, some of these date back to Apr 2011.
Is there something very obvious I am missing here?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Raman.

Ya you can better see where all of the links are coming from and their info, whether they are "follow" or "nofollow", more data, etc.
-
Thanks Ryan. I will give these a go as well.
Regards.

Bing Webmaster Tools is a great and often overlooked tool.Otherwise Majestic and AHREFs are both good as well.
I use all 5 tools together to create backlink reports.
-
Thanks Joe. Please pardon my ignorance, but what does " full link profile" mean? Is the the DA/PA/anchor text etc.?
-
Thanks Ryan. What other good backlink tools would you suggest beside ose?
-
I always look to Webmaster Tools for new links (they show up there before OSE), and OSE for more detailed information and full link profiles. Sometimes it takes OSE months to show your links, especially if it's a newer site.

You should not expect OSE to match Google.
Google is a company that generates ten billion in search revenue a quarter. OSE and Majestic are the two best crawlers not owned by a search engine, and neither company earns even 1% of what Google does, so their crawlers cannot compete.
With that said, Google does not share all of its data either. If you want the most comprehensive link data, it is best to use numerous backlink tools and combine the data.

Spam links with high DA
I'm running through the spam analysis and noticed a few links that are considered to be 9+ on the spam score (high spam level), but some of them have DA of 60 -75. How can this be possible? When I view the sites they appear to be be pretty low quality. If i'm considering disavowing a site should I focus on spam score or DA? A DA of 75 is a pretty reputable standing.
