Links not showing up in Site Explorer?

[MortgagesByMark]

Why aren't some backlinks showing up in Site Explorer? I have links to my home page (www.mortgagesbymark.com) from  Trulia at http://www.trulia.com/blog/mortgagesbymark/ but they're not showing up in Site Explorer. Thanks for your help!

Many links do not apear in site explorer. I view it as a list of the highest quality links and others are either not shown or shown inconsistently. Generally, the links are there. I would focus more on building them than the reporting.

On a side note : there is a chance that your links are not always being indexed, but Tweeting a link to your blog (recommended if you have not already done so) should put it on the radar.

Hope that helps!

Hi Mark,

OSE takes a little while to update - it's updated on average once a month, so it could just be that OSE hasn't updated yet and included the link. Give it a couple of weeks and have another look.

Hope that helps!

As John Pring put it, OSE doesn't update instantly or "often" - you might want to try out Google Webmaster Tools and Bing Webmaster Tools.

Bing's inbound link tool is remarkable. It's showing links to my site that I've never seen before (and I've tried OSE, Google's, and a few other "back link reporting" tools)
