      Hey guys,

      So I was doing some backlink analysis for a client and was utilizing Open Site Explorer, which stated that I had roughly 2,111 External Followed Links.  However, I can't seem to find a way to export all 2,111 backlinks.  I wanted to make sure if the links I had acquired had been indexed and crawled, and picked up, but I can't seem to access the full list on a domain level, only on the subdomain level.

      Anybody have any suggestions or advice?  Any would be helpful!

      Best,

      James

        With OSE you're going to get truncated data if a given domain has more than 25 links from it. It does this to show better diversity with its results. I don't know if there is any way around it. If there is, someone please tell me 🙂

        I always find that if I set it to - Show "All" links from "External Pages Only" to "All Pages on the Root Domain" then I can get some pretty good data. I think this would work for what you need it for.

        Maybe you could use the SEOMoz API to gather the data you need.
