      When I run a report on my competition I'm seeing their link show up in OSE's report under the "Linking Domains" tab, but when I put my site in there, it doesn't recognize my link from my twitter profile. Any ideas?

        Does the same thing with mine.  I don't know but would like to know.

          I just assumed that the my twitter profile page hasn't been crawled (yet). I know OSE is showing twitter links to other sites. (I notice that SEOmoz.org has a bunch of links from twitter.)

          Do you link to your twitter profile page from anywhere? Are those pages linking pages in the linkscape index?

          Not overly worried about this as links from twitter are "no-follow".

            Doug's comment above is correct. In general, if a page doesn't have any links to it then OSE won't know that it even exists. This was the case for my Twitter profile until I pointed a couple of links to it, not that having it indexed is of much use anyway.
