Cover all things links and the industry-leading link data discoverable in Link Explorer.


  • Hello! Sam from Moz's Help Team here! So -  after being found, newly discovered links have the ability to be populated into our index in about 3 days. However, there are a lot of factors which can affect our ability to find and index links to your site. It's important to note that we are always adding new data to our index, but it may take some time for us to discover backlinks to your site based on factors like crawlability of the referring pages, quality of the links and the referring pages, and more. If you are not seeing links that you know you have, you may want to make sure that they can be indexed. It is also a good idea to check to see if we've indexed the page on which that link is found. If we haven't indexed the referring page yet, you won't see your link in our index. You can also add links to Link Tracking Lists. Once you add a link to your tracking lists we will add that page to be crawled. As long as it is accessible to our crawler, you should see the link in our index as soon as we can index those pages. Lastly, I have a great guide here with some things to check around why we may not have found your links yet: https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/moz-isnt-finding-your-links If you'd like any further information, please feel free to pop us an email over at help@moz.com. We do also have a great guide to Domain Authority just here: https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority

  • Hey there! Thanks for reaching out to us! We hope to see links added to Link Tracking Lists appear within our index within 2 - 4 weeks, that is the typical timeframe. This mentioned timeframe is normal but not a 100% guarantee, as you should see most links appear in our index within that timeframe but it is possible you will not see all links added which would not be unusual. Adding Links to our Link Tracking Lists helps our crawler to find them but when exactly our crawler finds your links may still vary between any given timeframe; some links may be found sooner and some later. Due to the amount of links on the web, the crawl-ability of a site, the amount of links added to our lists and how our crawler naturally crawls it's hard to pinpoint exactly when your specific links added will be found in the Link Index. If there is anything else you need please feel free to reach out to help@moz.com

  • Hey there, Sam from Moz's Help Team here! Could you please pop a message about this over to help@moz.com? If you could include in your email whether you are asking about backlinks that have been lost, or if you're asking about your keyword rankings dropping, that would be great. Looking forward to hearing from you!

  • I think Moz crawler is a little bit slower than Ahref Crawler or there is any other strategy of Moz DA PA. My Website Take High Authority Links With DR (Ahref Rating) 16 But Moz rating(DA) is still 1 what should I Do to increase DA. My other site has the same strategy but Its DA is 9 what should I Do to increase DA.

  • I do not think there is an option to forcefully submit backlinks via Moz. I have tried few methods for ChinEtti Forex but had no luck. I think it takes time to get backlinks indexed on google. Maybe come back and check after 1-2 months. You will see them indexed in Moz.

  • This vaguely answers my question, so thank you. However, it has been almost 4 weeks since setting up the tracking list and Moz still hasn't picked up the links. Not only that, it has picked up several links that come from low-quality, spammy sites. The only thing I am getting from this experience is that Ahrefs and Majestic are much better than Moz and that I should not purchase a monthly subscription after the free trial ends. Thank you for your time, Eli.

  • In this case, you should avoid using software for making bad links and get your top pages to report in good ranking, never try, the software can bring your ranking less or 0 due to what Google already said.

  • It likely means the page that the link was discovered on is now redirecting to another page. For example, a few of the links in your screenshot are from Google+, which no longer exists (all pages now redirect to a shutdown notice).

  • I see what you are saying. It needs to link to https://twowayradiosfor.com but for some reason it is auto-linking to blog.twowayradiosfor.com/www.twowayradiosfor.com, which isn't a real landing page. Unfortunately, this has happened over 500 times on my WordPress blog. Do I have to go in and manually edit all 500 links or is there a way to unlink all of those at one time? Do You know hardest job in the world

  • First of all, Google doesn't use Moz spam score: https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/2440327?hl=en So, if your Moz spam score is high because of "spammy" backlinks it doesn't mean that Google considers your site as spammy. You can check the spam score for every linking domain in the Link Explorer. If there are too "spammy" domains take the necessary actions (disavow them in GSC as the last resort). It can take a few weeks for Google to process the information that you upload. Your list will be incorporated into our index as we recrawl the web and reprocess the pages that we see. Please check following thread for more details: https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/10239497?hl=en When we did for our website it took less than 2 weeks.
