        Simply put, the moz crawler bot cannot crawl every single page on the web, whereas the google WMT crawler does a significant job doing so.

        If you do have a new site though, give it some time and your links should appear in OSE, every new site takes a while to get found by the moz crawler.

          Stephen,

          Open Site Explorer does not crawl as "deeply" as Google. It hits roughly the top 25% of the web and therefore will not show everything that you will see in GWMT. Obviously, to have that type of depth would require a lot of bandwidth and servers and that is what makes Google, Google.;)

          Also, it would depend on when your links were established as it can take up to 60 days for OSE to show the links. One thing you can do is check when the last crawl was by moz and compare that to when the links were created. I believe the last one was Sept. 12.

          Here is a post by Rand regarding the August mozscape crawl  which will give you a lot of info as to what is crawled, etc.

          Hope it helps,
