Why are my internal and external inbound links not showing up in opensiteexplorer?

For the seville site, the problem is https.  OSE doesn't crawl it [yet]

For the other one, it looks like it's simply a case of the site not being important enough for the mozscape bots. [sorry]  I'm sure as the site grows OSE will crawl it more thoroughly and will display more information.

The size of the Mozscape index has steadily gotten smaller this year as they work to make it more efficient.  I think what you'll find is that when it was triple the current size, you may have had more sites indexed.  When it grows, you'll find more included again, as well.

With sites that don't have a lot going on in Mozscape, the best thing you can do is use other tools to complement.  AHrefs, Majestic and Webmasters Tools will help.

Hey James,

Sorry for the confusion with Open Site Explorer. I'm afraid that Klarke is correct that our MozScape index does not crawl https sites. Unfortunately if your entire site is under the https protocol then it won't get crawled for the index.

As for the backlinks to www.studiowestgym.com it seems that we just did not find very many links. I checked a 3rd party index that is slightly larger and more frequent (majestic) and it looks like they were only able to find 8 backlinks for that site.

Your best bet is to continue your link building/earning and you should see those numbers increase.

Cheers,
Joel.
