CSV export of Open Site Explorer is incomplete.
-
I exported my back links report from the Open Site Explorer toolbar as a CSV but the file it showed was only about 400 urls. The tool bar is listing over 1,200 links, so at first I thought maybe it was only exporting one link for each unique domain, but it only lists 200 or so unique domains linking to my site. I know it will only export 10,000 urls, but obviously I'm significantly below this level.
Here is a link to a competitors site which is having the same issue.
http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=www.zoobooks.comListing about 900 links and only generating about 500 in the CSV report.Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Brian,
So sorry that you didn't get a response before now. I've seen another report of this in Q&A as well. The help desk staff generally doesn't hang out in Q&A, which is why you didn't get an answer from them here. Can you please email them at [email protected] with this information and open a ticket so they can work on fixing this glitch? Thanks!
Martijn Scheybeler does report in the other question that
What "worked" for me was waiting for a minute and re trying to download the export. Most times the second attempt was successful. It's just a work around eventually.
I would also recommend reporting this to the Moz team so they will have more user data to solve this problem.

Moz Spam Analysis vs. GWMT Links to Your Site
Hi Moz Community, I have been conducting some link auditing and started comparing the Moz Spam Analysis tool with the links provided in Google WMT. It appears that the Moz Spam Analysis tools shows an aggregate of links that Moz may or may not consider spam, however when you download and look at Google's "Links to Your Site" list it provides every link iteration known to man that's pointing to the target website - without providing any hints as to whether or not a link may be considered spam by Google. The biggest concern I have here is that Google is picking up a lot of links, which I consider spam, that do not appear in the Moz Spam Analysis results. I guess the question(s) I have are: Does it make sense to compare these two data sets? Has anyone else tried this comparison and how did you use the information to make positive changes? Any recommendations when it comes to determining if an external link is spam/hurting/helping a website? Thank you!

Google Webmaster Tools and Open Site explorer's links not matching up
My question is why do my GWT's links not match up to the ones on Open Site Explorer. I watched John Mueller's video, and he said that they had problems with the link counts recently. After checking my links today, I can see that the problem is fixed, but my link count differs from Open Site Explorer. On Web Master Tools I have 307 links, but on Open Site Explore I have 42. Has anyone dealt with this problem? thanks. Peter

Are the CSV downloads malformatted, when a comma appears in a URL?
Howdy folks, we've been a PRO member for about 24 hours now and I have to say we're loving it! One problem I am having with however is a CSV exported from our crawl diagnostics summary that I've downloaded. The CSV contains all the data fine, however I am having problems with it when a URL contains a comma. I am making a little tool to work with the CSVs we download and I can't parse it properly because there sometimes URLs contain commas and aren't quoted the same as other fields, such as meta_description_tag, are. Is there something simple I'm missing or is it something that can be fixed? Looking forward to learn more about the various tools. Thanks for the help.

Moving from a dynamic site to nopcommerce
Hi, First question since becoming a member so be gentle with me ;o) We are moving from a site using a dynamically generated ecommercetemplate to a nopcommerce site. I have two questions about this I know that 301 redirects are the best way to pass "link juice" but with the site being dynamically generated a lot of these links will simply disappear when we move to nop, meaning that they wont actually be there in order to add a 301. Any advice on this would be appreciated. How can i get a list of the pages on my current site which have the best rank in order to create the redirects. Unfortunately due to some technical issues we had with google analytics we were unable to install it so dont really have any analytics to give us some extra info. I was hoping that there would be somewhere within seomoz where i could be directed. Many thanks Chris

Will Open Site Explorer ever show number of links over time?
OSE is an amazing tool, but do you guys at SEOmoz have any plans to develop it so we can track numbers of links over time. I need to demonstrate to clients how the link building is going, and this would be a great quick report to see how many links you found on a given day, month, year, etc. A bit like magesticSEO backlink history graph, but better 🙂
