      My new website: http://www.thelifesciencesreport.com/ is showing zero backlinks in Internet Explorer and I know of dozens that have posted our links:

        How new?

        OSE doesn't track every website, and the index isn't updated real-time, so you could be either too new or just not included in the index.

        I mean, right there in the OSE page for your domain, it tells you this:

        No Data Available for this URL

        Although our index is large, there are a number of reasons why we may not have data for the page you've requested. These can include:

        • Recency of Page Creation:
          Linkscape crawls the web constantly, but we update the index only once every 30-40 days. Thus, pages and links created since the last index update won't be available until we've seen them. A typical timeline for getting a page/site included in Linkscape is 45-60 days, sometimes less for very important or well-linked-to pages.
        • Deep Down in the Web:
          Our crawl focuses on a breadth-first approach, and thus we nearly always have content from the homepage of websites, externally linked-to pages and pages higher up in a site's information hierarchy. However, deep pages that are buried beneath many layers of navigation are sometimes missed and it may be several index updates before we catch all of these.
        • Blocked Pages:
          If our crawlers or data sources are blocked from reaching your URLs, they may not be included in our index (though links that points to those pages will still be available)
        • No Links:
          The URLs seen by Linkscape must be linked-to by other documents on the web or our index will not include them.

            Defo wait mate. Bit early yet I think. I am sure ours took at least 3 months to start picking some up.
