      Why is it that OSE does not display my strongest backlinks, including those from Wikipedia, a legitamite .edu, Squidoo, etc.?

      Some of those links have been live for a long time, and some (not all) are "dofollow".

      Impossible to do a thorough backlink analysis in this situation.

          Hi William,

          SEOmoz robots needs sometime to crawl the web pages. Wait for some time it will surely show those backlinks.  And it will also show nofollow link.

          Hope this link help you: http://www.seomoz.org/help/open-site-explorer-faq

            I've seen different link builders suggest to build a link our two to your resources in order to get them found quicker by Google, and everyone else.  These programs work by spidering the internet, and links are the fastest way to do that.

                To be honest OSE has to be one of the slowest methods for finding new links.

                If they were on par with some others they would surely get more revenue/subscriptions.

                Seomoz, pick up your game, there are other link explorers that only need a few days to pick up new links, why do you need months and only update on certain days of the month?

                Do us all a favour and make OSE our favourite tool!

                🙂
