Why do the results in SEOmoz and OSE for Linking Root Domains differ?

[ThinkingJuice]

In SEOmoz, in a campaign we set up, it shows 600+ Linking Root Domains, but in OSE it shows 300+ Linking Root Domains- quite a difference.

Any help gratefully received.

Thanks.

Without viewing your site no one can be sure but the most likely cause is related to the filters in OSE. At the top of the page there are 4 filters. The most likely issue is you are using the default OSE settings:

Show ALL links from ALL pages to THIS PAGE. In other words, when you enter www.mysite.com you are only looking at the links to the home page.

Change THIS PAGE to PAGES ON THIS ROOT DOMAIN.

You really need to look at the data on the ADVANCED REPORT tab to see the differences.
