Backlinks not showing up

[jamesjd7]

I've been noticing that not all links that a website obtains are showing up as a backlink.  For example, the following page has a link to a website (**www.pwgglaw.com)**at the bottom of the page.

http://www.ocbar.org/AllNews/NewsView/tabid/66/smid/384/ArticleID/564/Default.aspx

I went to opensiteexplorer and typed in pwgglaw.com and it didn't list the ocbar.org as a backlink.

Is this right?  If not, then how do you force the link from ocbar.org to show up as a backlink?

Did you try running an "Advanced report" from the Campaigns area? This will provide you with up to 100,000 links, which presumably would include everything that SEOmoz has indexed. As Keri pointed out, this might not be everything that's out there.

Is it a relatively new link to your site? If that's the case the page containing the link might not have been crawled yet.

Also keep in mind that Open Site Explorer does not crawl the entire web, just the top 25-35% of it. That page is buried a bit deep on the site, so it the OSE crawl may not get that deep on the site. OSE and Google are two different crawlers, so Google may well see the link when OSE doesn't.
