      I've been comparing the links to my domain that OSE and GWT show and GWT shows many more links than OSE. Can anyone explain the difference? Does Google report no follow links that OSE does not?

        Google and SEOmoz both crawl the web differently and don't crawl everything.  And Google should be crawling a lot more then SEOmoz.  So with that said, you will see differences in their indexes.

        A few similar answered questions:
