No data showing in SiteExplorer

[Boogaloodoood]

For this site: www.cooperator.biz/

I see no backlinks in SEO Moz Open SiteExplorer but Majestic SEO is showing 13 unique domains linking to it.

I regularly encounter zero data for sites that I know have backlinks, why is this?  If it's a problem with crawling them, why would I continue to use SEO Moz when other SEO services are showing me links?

Kind regards, Rich

Rich,

How old are those links? OSE updates roughly once a month, and its said it can take up to 2 index periods for your links to show up, if they are relatively new, this is the reason for this. You can check the linkscape update schedule here.

I know it can be frustrating for newer sites, you want to see the are showing up, but be patient. When they do show up in OSE the data you get is better than any other service we use.

Hi Casey,

That might be the problem.  I wasn't expecting those links to be recent so I didn't check that but Majestic is showing those links as being fairly recent.   I promise I'm not a shill, I'm just trying to figure out which tool is better, I've been an on and off pro member here for ages.

The new SEO Moz historical link data is cool but it's a shame it's only for campaigns, I'd like to see that for any domain I want to check up on.

Thanks for your help.

That would be pretty cool actually, I would find that useful too!
