      Hi,

      We spotted a number of sites linking to us from http sites, not https sites. How can I use backlink tools to find just those from http sites?

      Right now I'm looking at exporting a spreadsheet with 3.3 million entries and filtering - and there's not one person here who wants to do that!

      Thanks in advance.

            @mark_seomoz1 If i understand you want to see who is linking to you and if HTTP vs htts? don't forget you can use Search engine console too! Wouldnt a sort in e.g. Google sheets work for this? just sort via HTTP then split via text to collum to get domains and de-dupe and it will roughly show you domains doing that in a few min.

            Unless you are chasing some hypostasis as long as your site is https it really isn't much to worry about nor much you can do.

              Hi webmaster,

              When exporting links from Moz Link Explorer, they come without http part.

              You can try using tools like http response header checker.

              1. https://httpstatus.io/ - can check 100 URLs at a time. Very fast

              2. https://www.bulkseotools.com/bulk-http-header-code-checker.php - 500 at a time. A bit slow

              3. Screaming frog - you should know how to use this tool.

              PROCESS

              You will need Google Sheets for it.
              51aa435f-5e33-4195-b4da-5fca8117c146-image.png

              1. Export Linking Domains from MOZ

              2. Add "http://" to every domain

              3. CONCATENATE strings A and B = Write this formula in C column "=a2&b2"

              4. Crawl the http URLs

              5. Check which URLS contain 200 status codes, filter out REDIRECTED URLS containing https. Here they are http domain backlinks. This is how I would solve your task.

              I hope it helps. If you have questions, you are welcome.

                Unsolved Moz doesn't find backlinks for months / link tracking list offline

                link tracking list link explorer backlinks domain authority

                Hi there
                I want to share a big problem with you. Moz tracking list seems to be offline or having trouble finding links. I have an example:
                The page where the backlink has been placed was created months ago. As you can see on the picture:
                Link to the page is http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/profile/tableauxdumonde
                Backlink on that page is https://ggongtime.com/ Picture shows clearly that the page of backlink (Microsoft) has been indexed and already has got it's own backlinks in Moz (8) but it is still not linking to the backlink website (ggongtime.com).
                I've also attached a picture of page source where you can clearly see that it is a html link and is dofollow.
                The problem remains since 3 months and I want to find out what is going on. This Microsoft page is one of example. There are hundreds of other pages being found, or not, and are still not showing up in Link Explorer on website's portfolio.
                I want to know if there is a technical problem with link explorer, or anything else, because this is a serious problem for me. moz problem.png

                Subdomain and nofollow backlinks are used to calculate the domain authority?

                Greetings, I have a couple of questions about domain authority. 1 - The backlinks that come from different subdomains count several times or only once coming from the same domain? 2 - The nofollow backlinks are used to calculate the domain authority? Thank you.

                Is Moz's backlink checker.... just... not good?

                Hey everyone! Can somebody explain to me why this keeps happening: Whenever I'm trying to backlink my competitors, I typically use RavenTools. Every time, without fail, if I put that same URL into Moz's Open Site Explorer - It gives me about 1/20th of what RavenTools shows me. Sometimes it literally comes up with 2 or 3 links total. Unfortunately, RavenTools has a cap on how many backlink checks you can perform in a month - so once I've used those up, I have to start using OSE... But, it just doesn't work. Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks!

                Fastest way to get new backlinks recognised by Moz?

                Hi all, I have seen a few discussions / advice pieces around this, but wondered what the current view is on the fastest way to get new backlinks recognised by Moz? I have seen people say that the content needs to be shared (e.g. on Twitter), and advice around creating Bitly links.  I am not convinced that these techniques are working. On a related note, my website is very large.  I have around 2.5m pages.  Most of these pages are 3-4 clicks from the home page, but I have a small amount of important content much higher up in the site (1-2 clicks from the home page).  Does Moz crawl pages nearer the home page more frequently, or does it make a pass of all pages on the site before it starts at the beginning again?  If it makes a complete pass of all pages, then presumably making my site smaller will help to get Moz to see new content more quickly?  Is there any other value to be gained in making a large site smaller? Many thanks in advance, Neil.

                What does "Number of Linking Root Domains" in Open Site Explorer actually mean?

                I've read through the forum, but I'm confused as to what "Number of Linking Root Domains" means in the Linking Domains report. For example, if the root domain is Moz.com and the number is 135,000 does that mean there are 135,000 links from Moz pointing back to my site or does it mean there are 135,000 sites linking back to Moz? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
