Csv download from open site explorer
-
After I run a report in Open Site explorer and download the csv, the bar says it processing # of 10,000 links, when the report is done and i open it there are only 450 links

I have been running reports on linking root domains to compare with competitor sites.
In all cases the report download only contains a small subset of the report results.
As the results are linking root domains they should all be unique I think? So for example if there are 1,500 linking root domains in the report why are there only 400 (exact number) when I download?
For a competitor site there are 3000+ linking root domains and in the download only 300 (exact number)
The exact numbers are suspicious and suggest some kind of culling of the full report but I cannot see why this is. How can I download all of the linking root domains?

Good explanation Matt.

There are two reasons you see fewer than 10,000 results.
1) The LSAPI has a max requests of 10,000 but your actual number of results will be the "Total Links" number when you first run your OSE search. So that part is "Max" 10,000 not necessarily what you're getting. Let's say your total results are 2500. Assuming unique domains, you'll get an export of 2500.
- On the other hand, you see 2500 in the search but only get 450 but when you export.: OSE only reports the top 25 results from each external domain so if you have 500 from one domain, you're going to "lose" 475 results when you export. Do that for a few domains and 2500 quickly becomes 500, etc.
Make sense on both parts?

Opens Site Explorer sees two pages that are one
www.mysite.com/ and www.mysite.com/default.asp are both showing up in open site explorer. How do I make sure that these are not being interpreted as two pages when they are the same page? (Both in search engines and OSE.)

Is there a way to export to csv the report of keyword difficulty tool?
I'm using it to create reportes on multiple keywords and I don't see an export/download button.I see that when one keyword only is searched for, you can export the serp results. I am asking about searching multiple keywords and then exporting them all with their scores.

Are organic site links excluded in the rankings report?
If I'm pulling a rankings report for a specific subdomain and a different subdomain appears at the main result and the specific subdomain is a site link beneath it, does that show up in the results? It doesn't seem to in my report.

Link from Dr. Oz web site not being seen, what are we doing wrong?
Newbie so this may be SEO 101... Quick back story: My wife Lauri is a Dream Expert who has been on over 5,000 radio shows, TV shows like Good Morning America, the Today show, the View, in major magazines and newspapers, the list goes on and on, I'm not bragging actually the opposite. Lauri barely exists online and to top it off we don't seem to be getting any "link juice" from some big sites that have linked to us. Here is just one example of many: Our site: theDreamZone.com Here is a page on Dr Oz site that links to us, anchor text at top right "Click here": When you use On site Explorer this link isn't there, what are we doing wrong? Our plan is to build a new site (LauriTheDreamExpert.com) and get these links and many others pointing to us correctly so she can get the exposure she's earned. Lauri was also on the Dr Oz TV show : Watch it if you like. Thanks for any wisdom, Mike

Our recently searched Open Site backlink reports are identical to last months across multiple clients. Why is this happening?
When processing the backlink data of our clients for this month (searches done on 28th December), we're finding that the information gathered from Open Site explorer is identical to the data that was found on searches done at the end of November. It appears to have happened for the reports we use for every single client so it must be more than a coincidence. From our perspective, it's almost as if no data has been tracked since the last time we gathered backlink reports. Could you help us get to the bottom of this?
