Difference between Link Analysis and open site explorer

[RoderickG]

Hey,

when i check my links in Link Analysis in Moz Analytics is see 45 Linking Root Domains.

The manual states: " If you want to look at these pages in more depth, just click the export button. This will take you to Open Site Explorer so you can dig deeper into your link profile and export the data for review later."

But when i go there, the open site explorer states i only have 31 Linking Domains.

What could explain the difference?

Have you set OSE to the maximum amounts?  Target >> this root domain, Link Source >> all pages, Link type >> all links?

You might be missing some if you're checking only external, certain types of links, only the current page, etc.  Cheers!
