How do I download a CSV of inbound links?

[Lina500]

Just signed up and have a lot of (probably stupid) questions! When I go to my campaign in Moz Pro, Links, Link Analysis, I see a long list of inbound links. However, the only option is to export it into CSV via the Open Site Explorer, but when I open that up the list of links is completely different (and much smaller) than the one in the Link Analysis section. Is there a way to download the links listed in the Link Analysis section, and what is hhe different between the links listed here and in the OSE?

Actually a good question. I havent stopped to look at this one before, following OSE for me the links are similar but definitly not the same.

I cant help with this one, but i'd love to know the answer!

Hello!

In OSE we can show page metrics and only domain/sub-domain in Moz Analytics since we only show a snapshot of data there.

When looking at inbound links in OSE you can adjust the filters to show all pages on the root domain, all links (of external/internal or both).

If you have a lot of backlinks from the same domain, we cap the link data to 25 per linking root domain to help show diversity.

Hope this helps

I'm sorry, I don't understand. I'm seeing domains in the link analysis that don't show up in any form in the OSE.

Is there a way to download all of my inbound links that are found in the Link Analysis section?

Hi Lina

To match the URLs in OSE for inbound links

Search the root domain of the URL

Set the filters to:

Target: This root domain
Link source: all pages
Link Type: all links

To obtain the FULL backlink profile, you would have the build an application to access our database via paid API apiwiki.moz.com

Thank you! I now see that I was filtering for "this page" and the links I saw elsewhere were for other pages. I can see them all now
