Hiya! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.
Unfortunately, a limitation of our API is that we can only export the top 25 links from each linking root domain. This means that, if the majority of your links are coming from a small number of domains, we would only be able to export a small percentage of your links. This includes internal links as well as external links. For example, moz.com has 61k internal links, but we would still only be able to export the top 25 of those internal links.
The reason why is that if someone has 500,000 links and most of them are from the same domain, then we wouldn't want to fill up all 10,000 links with the same domain information and leave out important links from other domains. Instead, we'll only show the top 25 based on Page Authority so that we can show links from other sites without the same domain taking up all 10,000 spaces. In other words - we want to show link diversity.
The advanced reports have the same limitations on the number of links per linking root domain, and can only give links from an increased number of root domains.
If you want to obtain more than 25 links from a particular domain (we export only 25/per domain) to a target, this is only achievable through the Mozscape API directly.
For example, if you want to find the number of pages that link to the yahoo.com root domain from the wikipedia.org root domain, you could issue the following query:
http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/links/yahoo.com?Scope=page_to_domain&SourceDomain=wikipedia.org&SourceCols=4&Limit=50&Offset=0This will return the source URL of the first 50 pages from anywhere in the wikipedia.org root domain to anywhere in the yahoo.com root domain. Then, you can set the Offset parameter to 50 and run the same call, and so on, always incrementing Offset by 50. As soon as you get a number of links back that's less than 50, you know you've reached the end of the links we have that fit your parameters. Just add up all the links you've seen, and you've got your count!
Please note the limit for free users will be 1000 links total. There is no limit with a paid subscription, however higher offsets take longer to process and may time-out.
I hope this helps - do let me know if there's anything else I can assist with! And as always, you can reach out to our team directly any time by emailing [email protected] or clicking the blue chat icon on the lower right of the product!
Thank you,
-Kristina -
I've never seen any domain limits and there's no mention of domain limits per subscription level on the Moz Pro details page.

Isn't that limited to 25 domains and thus a bit pointless if you're doing a full audit?

Yep, just click the 'Request CSV' link right above the Spam Score column heading.

Open Site Explorer -> Just Discovered -> Internal Links: Only shown 1 url link per day
Hi, We have a page that have like 10-15 new content/pages per day.
Link Explorer | | Inspiringinterns
eg. domain.com/post-id-01/, omain.com/post-id-02/, omain.com/post-id-03/ etc
But somehow, under Just-Discovered, internal links only show 1 per day when it suppose to display like 10-15.
The layout for each pages is exact same except for the content changes and the url's ID changes. Our competitor on the other hand, they have like 5 new page per day, but somehow Moz shows their internal links as 25 per days. Each of their new url have 4 more prefix number.
Eg:
new-page-01?track=990
new-page-01?track=991
new-page-01?track=992 etc
The above example url is technically as 1 page if without the "?" affix. Whiles all our new pages/url have unique id, but Moz only show 1 a day. Please advise on how to get Moz to shows all the new pages in Just-Discovered (internal link). Thanks, Cam0 -
OSE Getting Less Accurate
It seems that the more links I get the lower my DA is. My DA has been dropping for some time now as I gain more backlinks. It also does not seem to pick up anywhere close to the number of domains that is linking to my site. My url is hiddentriforce.com GWT says I have over 600 domains linking in. The majority of the links are from news or articles that we cover which other sites pick up and link to us as the source. We also have a ton of scholarship links from .edu and education sites from a giveaway that we do every year for students. Why does OSE seem to lower my DA the more I get off-page factors to the site?

Repeated mysterious 404's from ancient site structure killing my rankings
Several years ago I changed my site structure to go from a flash based site to a blog based wordpress site. After doing so I went from page 1 to page 30 for my relevant search terms. I have employed people to help me track down the problem and I believe that they have narroed it to the existance of 404's being created from some unknown internal source. I have been for years getting links like this... <colgroup><col width="792"></colgroup>

When I do a moz crawl of the site, none of these links show up. Therefore I have no way of finding the source of these links (they also do not show me the source in WMT as they should). We have completely cleared the site and rebuilt it and although it is still only a couple of weeks in it still does not appear to have stopped them. Does anyone have any way of helping me find the source of these mysterious 404's?0 -

Why is that and how do I get the total from 2.951? Thanks
