Moz showing +3M new inbound links. But nowhere to find them?

[snorkel]

Hi there

Moz is showing a +3M backlink rise in the dashboard for one of our domains. The site has always had around 350K backlinks and in Ahrefs and Majestic it still shows this number. But Moz shows a growth of +3M in the last two weeks. Is there a way to see where these backlinks come from in OSE? I can't seem to understand how it is possible to see this somehow. Can it be a mistake of Moz maybe?

Snorkel,

How large is your website? In OSE try using some of the filters. What you may be seeing is the combined external and internal links.

Hi Donald,

Thank you for your answer. I don't think it can be the combined external and internal links. (see attachment) I have also tried the filters in OSE, but still can't figure out where the links come from. And isn't it strange that Ahrefs and Majestic show a totally different amount of backlinks than Moz?

Thank you.

Really looks like an anomaly. Wait for the next update and see what happens.

Hi there! Sorry for any confusion.

In a case like this it's hard to determine what's going on without investigating the campaign itself, so if you are still unsure why this data is populating I'd recommend reaching out to the Help team at help@moz.com to take a closer look. We'll be happy to help diagnose what's going on.
