Report not showing all links

[inetteam]

I am trying to pull the back link report for the following URL

www.hotscripts.com/category/scripts/php/scripts-programs/image-galleries/

OSE shows a total of 589 back links.  When i download the report all I get in excel is 207.  Why?

Hi!

I just talked with the help team about this. There are a couple of things happening, and we're not the best on making everything clear.

First, the 589 total links are both internal and external links. You're probably only interested in external links if you're wanting backlinks, so you'll want to select links from only external. That gets you to 214 links.

If you hover over where it says 1-50 of 214 External Links, you'll see a message about us showing only 25 links from an individual domain. You can see a similar message on this screenshot at http://www.screencast.com/t/hal5LMxT.

So, you should actually be able to get nearly all of your links. We know this is a bit confusing, and we're working on messaging.

No I actually want to see all the links external and internal in one CSV file.  Are you say that simplistic report is not available?  What is the purpose of displaying 589 then if we cant see them.  Still confused???

Hello?  help anyone?

Hi There,

Unfortunately, due to the limitations for our API, we are only able to export the top 25 links from each linking root domain, including links from your internal domain. We do provide you the ability to look at those links within Open Site Explorer, but I'm afraid that the system doesn't have the capability of exporting more than 25 links from each domain at this time.

I apologize for the inconvenience that may cause.

What good is it to only see the first 25 links. Worthless Software
