      Love the new graphic, far easier to follow.

      It would be nice to click through from the graphic to a breakdown of competitors stats too.

        Hey Nathan - Great to hear that you are digging the new visual. Could you please give a bit more detail about your request for clicking through to view competitors stats?

          Thanks to the Moz Team for your dedicated work creating the new Link Explorer. I find it does help to uncover a better overall story to understand DA changes and to compare competitor metrics. It is nice to see Moz consider how Google ranks a site and attributes greater trust, authority, and ranking power to one over the other

          I will use this information to update our Healthy Backlink Profiles are Critical to Build Site Authority.

          Thanks for the article Ian Watson.

              When looking at Inbound links, why is there such a discrepancy between Moz and Google Webmaster Tools.

              Moz: 10.3 million
              Google: 217,833

                Yasss! So the past few years I have been a die-hard Ahrefs fan to be honest. However, the new Moz Link Explorer is my new favorite tool for link analysis by far. Well done on this tool and the stout index as well Moz team!

                      I cannot speak to the count of inbound links that Google Webmaster Tools is reporting, but they are reporting far less than Moz and the other third party link indexing services. Without being able to dig into the link in your Webmaster account it is tough to say for sure, but within our index and others I am seeing a lot of follow links from site like Tumblr, Wordpress and Blogspot so there is a chance that Google is counting only one link where we treat each Tumblr or Blogspot subdomain as a domain and a link from that domain.

                        Hi Ian Watson. We have 2 questions (hopefully you are still monitoring this thread)

                        1. In the case of an old-page.html that is 301 redirected to current-page.html, will Link Explorer automatically assign inbound links going to old-page.html to the current-page.html ?

                        2. What is the purpose of showing "Internal, followed links" and "Internal, nofollowed links" on the COMPARE LINK PROFILES PAGE?  What good does it do to know or compare those counts?

                        Thank you!

                          Hey Gregory,

                          For 1, we are really close on our work to pass links via redirect. Once we have that work complete you will see those links automatically passed to the current page.

                          For 2, in our customer research phase of this project some folks wanted to see this type of comparison. We wanted to share as much data as we could in that table. This could provide some insight into how much content that site is looking to get indexed, or show that the site is not quite technically optimized.

                                Hi

                                I made some test comparing the new Link-Explorer vs other tools, I made a quick test and the results are impressive if you compared with the old Open-Site Explorer.

                                For the test, I had evaluated a site and linking domains

                                • Semrush > 12
                                • Moz > 223
                                • Ahrefs > 233
                                • Majestic SEO > 159

                                The results of the new Link-Explorer is equivalent to Ahrefs. It beat it to Semrush and Majestic with a big Margin.
