Wildcards in Backlinks

[CTSupp]

I had a quick question. Whenever I look at a report on Open Site Explorer for "golffacility.com" I am only receiving 15 results. I need to use wildcards such as ".golffacility.com/". Is there a way to do so? The end result would ideally be a list of domains linking to golffacility.com.

If you look at this report you'll see that the backlinks are up to nearly 300k, https://ahrefs.com/site-explorer/backlinks/subdomains/golffacility.com.

Thank you.

Are you looking for domains that link to the root domain golffacility.com? If so, be sure to filter for "pages on this root domain" in the linking domains report. Here's the link:

http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/domains?page=1&site=golffacility.com&sort=domain_authority&target=domain

...which shows over 600 linking domains.

Or individual links here:

http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?page=1&site=golffacility.com&sort=page_authority&filter=&source=&target=domain&group=0

Now, OSE will only show you up to 25 links from each domain. We've found that beyond this number, the value of each new link you find doesn't add much value. (often these are caused by sitewide links)

By comparison, if you search ahrefs for links to just the homepage, they list 14 links, consistent with OSE:

Are you saying that OSE does not show detailed backlink information?

** Yes, OSE has a totally diffrent approach as far as it's index. As far as I know OSE is only covering the core of the net - and it dosen't really go "far into space" - borders of the web.

Is the capability to do wildcard searches developed?

** No - but this can be a good addon indeed.

Thank you for the response, but that really doesn't answer my question.

As this isn't my domain, I cannot use Google Webmaster tools. Are you saying that OSE does not show detailed backlink information? Is the capability to do wildcard searches developed?

ahref and Open Site Explorer have 2 very different type of indexes.

Open site Explorer has the "core" of the web in its index and you can get more insights and mor ein depth info. On the other hand ahref has a larger database but not that accurate and up to date as OSE.

I personally use Web master tools and OSE as a first option and only use ahref and majestic to drill into the profile of a website more deeply - if and when needed.

Cheers.
