        SEOMoz works with a calender, so you can see for yourself. When selecting Open Site Explorer from the Research Tools below on the left you'll see the last time it was updated (28th of November) and also you'll see the update Calender. Next Linkscape update (= OSE) will occur at the 4ht of January.

        Furthermore don't expect all your links to be in OSE, however most of them will be. It's a great tool for comparisation and see where the competitors are getting their strength from but again it's a wish ALL your links would be in there. Hope this helps.

              We're certainly working on crawling more and more deeply 🙂 I'd say we'll have between 35-75% of the links that Google knows about (depending on where you're getting your links from - if it's low quality stuff, especially deep pages on spammyish pages, it's less likely).

              In terms of delay in picking up new links - if you got a link today, it would likely be in the Jan. 4th index (because we're actively crawling for that index and haven't started processing). However, it's also possible that we've already crawled that part of the web in the last week or two and it wouldn't be until the next index (late January/early February).

              Thus, anywhere from 20 (at the very fastest) to 60 days (at the very worst) is the speed of OSE's pickup of links.
