      Moz toolbar showing Root links 2111 but when searched on OSE it shows only 71. How can I get full backlinks report?

      Kindly review attached screenshot.

        Hi. The Mozbar number that you've circled appears to be counting the hundreds of 301 redirects in use on your site into its total link number. OSE has clustered those into a group that caps out 25 links per domain. A full backlink report in your case would require you to export your 301 redirects and add them to the total of OSE links, but that wouldn't tell you any more than you already know. You'll get better insights if you compare your site to your search competition and see where they've gained links from a diversity of domains.  Cheers!

          How Howard!

          Mozbar is showing the # of all links to all pages on the root domain. In OSE you are only seeing the # of links to just the domain in the screenshot.

          Ryan is correct about the 25 link limit per root domain. Between 22 root domains linking to you, there are 2112 links. You can see the full breakdown of Page, Sub-domain, and root-domain metrics here:

          Hope this helps!
