Discrepancy in OSE data

[inhouseseo]

When I look up a domain in OSE, it shows that there are 3K+ links from 349 domains. However, when I download the CSV, I only see around 1,500 links.

Why the discrepancy?

Almost certainly the filters you have applied. The download should tell you exactly what filters are in use.

So if it says 3K+ total links, I should be able to download that many?

Hi There,

Sorry for the confusion.

Our system can only download up to 25 links from each linking root domain (http://screencast.com/t/91C16Av7), so if one site is (or just a few sites are) responsible for the majority of the links, it will limit the number of actual links we can export. For example, www.seomoz.org shows about 1000 internal links and our system can only export up to 25 links from any linking root domain so there are around 975 internal links that we cannot export for that page. This limitation is true for the advanced reports, as well.

I hope this clears things up. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Is there a way to know which domains have links filtered out?

[ChiarynMiranda]

Unfortunately, there isn't currently a way to know which domains have more than 25 links to your site.  I would recommend that you submit a request to add this capability to OSE in our feture request forum. Here's the feature request forum we use to collect ideas:
