          Hi there!
          This is likely coming from the fact that Open Site Explorer is aimed at collecting links that speak to your site's overall backlink health and diversity. So, if a link is located deeper within a site's structure, then we may not include it within our index, as we attempt to focus on the prominent pages of authoritative sites while indexing.

          If you're interested in checking out a full backlink profile, then I would recommend supplementing OSE with another backlink checker like Majestic or Ahrefs, which focuses explicitly on link quantity 🙂

            Hey Dan,

            I just ran a quick report on Screaming Frog's SEO Spider (free & awesome tool btw) - and I am seeing 9 inbound links for this particular page. To add to Jordan's point, OSE may not have crawled those pages yet! While they do an amazing job at discovering links, it is not as powerful as a Google robot. To help them index these links better, I believe they pull from bit.ly - so adding your links there may help improve your OSE accuracy. AHREFs and Majestic are also great spots to check.

            Hope that helps.

            Best,

            Christopher
