      Hi how are you my root domain according to open site explorer has 90% of total links, external + follow. whereas my competitors have 5 - 6% how do I get this down to look more natural.

      Also what does this metric mean and how do I work out the percentage?

      Also I only have around 100 pages on my website which is a Shopify store and I have a small amount of internal followed links is this important for an ecommerce website as it is small number in comparison to my competitors.

      Thank you regards Adam

        Hey!

        Thanks for reaching out to us,

        We recently sunset Open Site Explorer because this past June, we released a brand new link tool called Link" data-id="entity-ember10592">Link Explorer.  Link Explorer includes an updated link index with vastly more data, an improved DA and PA score, and new features like Link Tracking Lists. Moving forward, you can use Link Explorer for your link data needs.

        For more details on Link Explorer, please check out our Help Hub here: https://moz.com/help/guides/link-explorer

        With regards to your second question, unfortunately we do not provide SEO support via our support channels but hopefully someone in our community will be able to advise 🙂

        Feel free to reach out to help@moz.com if you have any other questions,

        Eli
