Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Baron, I believe what Michael meant (correct me if I'm wrong Michael), is that OSE runs off of Moz's crawler.  If there crawler hasn't come across your YT and G+ pages, then they wouldn't have picked up the links to your site from those pages either. Either way, I assure you that Google knows about those links due to their more robust crawling ability and the fact that they own both of those products

It looks like the site was just registered in January, which means it's fairly new. Moz updates their index about once a month, so it takes a little while to crawl and display the links. In addition, Moz isn't able to crawl the entire web (though their index is getting a lot bigger), so they may miss some of your links.

I use Sucuri cloud proxy and it has never affected my sites in any way. If you tell it to block the IP's or referral domain it will do so. If you do not it considers Moz/ Roger Bot & Dot Bot as white hat and does not block them unless you request that it does. their user agents are right here http://moz.com/community/q/what-is-the-full-user-agent-for-rogerbot you can request that Sucuri check and make sure you are not being blocked. With that said I just ran a test on the site above and the only bots that are being blocked bad bots. if you find this is not true for you simply tell Sucuri.net support inside the dashboard to Speak to support There phone number is 1–888–873–0817 they will tell security operations Center or( SOC) to white list anything you want white listed Could you possibly share a screenshot of the redirect your talking about? Tt sounds to me like you have a redirect issue on your server that could be blocking dotbot ( the bot for open site Explorer) To determine whether or not a robots.txt file or a no index page is doing this please use the tools below their free and will give us a lot of information quickly & make sure your robots.txt is not blocking it. http://tools.seochat.com/tools/robots-txt-validator/ To check regarding search engines or bots being redirected using this tool http://tools.seochat.com/tools/search-engine-friendly-redirect-checker/ to re-create a robots.txt file that works and will not block anything if that is the case use this tool. http://tools.seochat.com/tools/online-robots-txt-generator/ ( Site maps may not be official but do help if they're in the robots.txt file) ** last but not least run your site through this tool and make sure nothing is out of whack.** http://www.feedthebot.com/tools/ http://moz.com/tools/crawl-test ( do not be surprised if this does not work as may use the same bot being blocked by a number of different things) If you continue to have problems and Sucuri tell you that they are not blocking it. Look into using Deepcrawl.co.uk or screaming frog SEO spider I even run a free audit on deep crawl for you if everything above does not work. I hope this helps, Tom F5IU7Fs.png RznVSse.png

Hi Charles. I don't work for Moz, so my recommendations are my own. Also, I pay for a pro subscription here as well, and also combine resources from multiple sources when I'm really trying to get into the minutae of each and every back link.  Ultimately it's a lot cheaper than creating my own crawler and index to try and duplicate Google. In your example with clients on local, you were likely involved in developing those links so why not keep track of them in-house versus 3rd party tools?  Personally my only need I have for trying to get 100% of backlinks reported is if I run into a situation with a manual action client and need as robust as a disavow list as possible.  Often times you can find these sorts of links via Google searches alone due to repetitive exact match keyword usage. The most value I get out of OSE is when I'm comparing the back link profiles of my sites versus those of the competition that are appearing in the rankings. I can usually come up with more than enough work to keep myself busy when using the tool in this manner. If you're specifically trying to manage local listings, Moz Local may be a better tool for your purposes. Cheers!

OK. Hopefully will be fixed fast! thanks

We don't seem to be having any issues with this report. Have you tried running it again?

No problem!

Have you set OSE to the maximum amounts?  Target >> this root domain, Link Source >> all pages, Link type >> all links? You might be missing some if you're checking only external, certain types of links, only the current page, etc.  Cheers!

Step 1. - DON'T PANIC! Step 2. - Understand that Moz's DA & PA can take a little while to find that you've set a canonical and or 301. Further to this understand that Moz is attempting to give you an indicator to what is an authority (a good link etc.) this is not an absolute nor is it a garuntee of ranking. Step 3. - Relax, have some of your favorite beverage. Humor aside as long as you've implemented the 301 correctly the rest will take affect it can just take a little time for Roger bot to find your changes, rest assured I'm sure Google has found your changes and given the link juice the right treatment. On top of this links pointed to www. and none www. is still a perfectly natural portfolio. Short answer: If I build backlink to the non-www version, will it increase the PA of the www version since it's has a 301 redirect ? Yes, well technically it would increase DA for the none-www in a more exact way. If I build backlink to the non-www version, will it increase the PA of the www version since it's has a 301 redirect ? see above answer , id recommend you build links to the main version you are going to use (www.) But how can I increase my DA if I focus on building backlink to the www version of my website ? Build links to the www. and any none www. will be taken care of by the 301 So i would like to have some clarifications about how their domain authority and page authority system work. My PA of the www version is higher than my DA because almost all my link point to the www version and I do the 301 redirect. ? PA is base on the links going to that page DA is based on all the links going to that domain across all the pages. The reason you may have a higher DA - PA is that page is stronger value than the domain, try not to over think this! Hope that helps, and remember - DONT PANIC!

Hi Ryan and David! Yesterday was the last update and I'm still searching my dofollow link... Opensiteexplorer only found the nofollow link from the icon, but nothing from the anchor text of my URL. Is possible that only take the first link to my blog and ignore the rest if it have the same href? Thanks! fTdwaO6.png

Hi I assume you meant the DA and PA etc - these we're all updated yesterday: http://moz.com/products/api/updates Next Update is in April. Thanks Andy

Hi Himanshu Sorry to hear you aren't seeing you links yet in our Index. What you can do is search the sites you are building links on to see if we are crawling them and check the Just Discovered tab to see if any links are in queue. If you see links there for their site and including your own, then you can expect your links to appear in our index in the next 1-2 updates. Hope this helps!

When I run that page in Open Site Explorer, I do not see a redirect. (I also don't see any links.) If I switch it to look at the root domain instead, I see a bunch of links to various pages. It seems that this root domain hosts pages for other companies, including lawyers, web design companies, and this seo company. So if you look at the links to the root domain, you will see links to the various companies on that domain.

How Howard! Mozbar is showing the # of all links to all pages on the root domain. In OSE you are only seeing the # of links to just the domain in the screenshot. Ryan is correct about the 25 link limit per root domain. Between 22 root domains linking to you, there are 2112 links. You can see the full breakdown of Page, Sub-domain, and root-domain metrics here: https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/comparisons?site=www.24hourpassportandvisas.com Hope this helps!

I don't know if you're looking at the right thing... Your site is listing in Google if you check with a site:morganlindsayphotography.com search, so that's current. Plus DNS tools show that your site is pointing to the correct nameservers: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#NS/morganlindsayphotography.com. Further, there aren't any pages listed that are your old 'html' style: https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=site%3Amorganlindsayphotography.com+inurl%3Ahtml. And I'm seeing pages that have been crawled as recently as February: site search with "past month" selected from search tools. If you're in Google Webmaster Tools and go to Google Index >> Index Status, you'll see a running timeline of how many pages Google has in their index up to recent dates. Starting a new domain and rebuilding your site would be a bad idea as it would only delay OSE further.

There are a few different things going on here. Just discovered links are separate from the main OSE index, "This report is driven by a new SEOmoz index that is independent from the Mozscape index, and is populated with URLs that are shared on Twitter," from: http://moz.com/blog/announcing-the-just-discovered-links-report, and is a function of the Moz Fresh Web Explorer. For those links to then go into OSE they have to be added to the overall index and processed as part of the next update. With both tools though you're able to interact quickly with new links, while accomplishing long term planning with OSE and its competitor comparison features. Here's the location of the update schedule: http://moz.com/products/api/updates And Rand's latest Q&A about what the last update (Jan 27) accomplished: http://moz.com/community/q/have-questions-about-the-jan-27th-mozscape-index-update-get-answers-here As long as your links from just discovered get crawled and recorded by OSE, eventually they'll show up.  Cheers!

Hi, To know what keywords your competitors using you should use following tools.I am sharing an article on this how to use those tools. http://www.searchenginejournal.com/5-free-tools-for-competitor-keyword-research/ Second to know whether keyword is properly targeted or not use moz on page grader tool (https://moz.com/researchtools/on-page-grader). Thanks

Hooray, the issue with OSE has been resolved! There was a hiccup with the API connection failing to complete requests, but all is well now. Thanks so much for your patience. Christy

That's a great location but it seems like most of the info there is pretty spread out in regards to my question. I was interested in figuring out if the number of external link on a site will influence their own reputation, and how. For example, if site A has 500 external link, and site B has 1000 - and assuming all other metrics are the same for both sites - which one should I try to pursue as far as getting an external link to my own site (i.e. which has the highest SEO value for me)? Also, I am assuming that when a site has 500 external links, that is 500 external links going out (not coming in).

If it's a period of 2 weeks and you're going to do it anyways, I would just make the new content and not go to the expense of setting up redirects and then taking them down, which can cause issues when you plan on recreating a URL.
