Does the inbound links report include links to all pages of the domain being researched?

If I enter 'abc.com' am I only getting results for 'abc.com' or will I get results for the internal pages of 'abc.com' as well (i.e. 'abc.com/page1.html)?

There is a bit of a discrepancy between these results and inbound link results in semrush for example. Then again it seems whenever you use different tools to measure the same thing you get wildly varying results. How do you all deal with that?

Hi

In Open Site Explorer, there are various filters for the Inbound Links report.

By default it shows "all" links from "all" pages to "this page" (i.e. the page at the URL entered).

But you can change the filters to show links that are from "external" or "internal" pages to "pages on this sub-domain" (e.g. www.) or "pages on this root domain".

Yes, different tools will show different results especially for external inbound links due to the nature of how much of the web they crawl. In those cases, I would always look at the highest figure on the basis that the crawler that reported was able to crawl more pages and find more inbound links.

I hope that helps,
