Greater Number of Linking Domains in Anchor Text Excel Export?
-
I exported the anchor text for a domain from Opensite Explorer and when I sum the "Number of Linking Root Domains Containing Anchor Text" it is higher than the total amount of linking root domains for the site. Is this because some domains use multiple anchor text links, so it is counted more than once in the exported spreadsheet?

It could be that. Just sort them by domain and check unique linking domains. Whatever link building strategy you are using, I would suggest you put other kinds of links in the basket and if possible non-anchor text, brand etc. Make your link profile natural.

Yep! Exactly. Each root domain can link to your page/site multiple times, from multiple pages, and these are all included in the report.
