      I've recently obtained some great backlinks from popular news sites but OSE hasn't picked up on them yet. Is there a way to "show" OSE what's happened, or do I just have to wait?

        There is no way to show OSE backlinks.  OSE uses a web crawler that finds links automatically.  It will not find every link, but should find most.

        Any reason you want it to show in OSE?

          Yeah, I want to see where I stand vs my competitors.

          Thanks for the quick answer.

            OSE shows links based on the Linkscape crawl of the web. The crawl itself takes 2-3 weeks, and then the data is processed which takes 1-2 weeks. The next OSE update will occur on October 18th. Depending on when the links were added they may or may not appear in the next update. If not, they should definitely appear in November's update.

            Realistically there is nothing more you can do speed up the process.

              ive had the same problem before. It is only a matter of time before OSE picks up on them, but unfortunately there is nothing you can to do expedite the process.  If you are looking to build a report Google Webmaster tools or yahoo site explorer has a more complete link profile available for most websites. If you want to pull an SEOmoz report for a client though, your domain authority is derived from links that OSE gathers (from what i can tell), so you may want to explain that to your client and also show them the link profile from the sites suggested above.

              Hope that helps!

                My observations are then if you add a site with existing links, OSE then trys to add pages that link to that site, as they seem to apear the next crawl, but are not theior already

                  No Problem.  As other posters said, it may take some time till the new crawl results are updated in OSE.

                  I have noticed many links to our site that are not included in OSE.
