Pintrest links not showing on Open Site Explorer

[bendyman]

Hi,

sorry for the 'simple' question, but I have one client who has a Pintrest link which shows up on the Open site Explorer (Page Authority 60, Domain Authority 100) and a second client who also uses Pintrest but their link doesn't show up on Open Site Explorer. I didn't set either of the clients' Pintrest pages up myself, but I can't see why the 2nd client's page isn't showing up in Open site explorer:- http://pinterest.com/unilifestudents/photoshoot-park-house/
 as it looks to me like it points to the main site http://unilife.co.uk as it should do.

What am I misunderstanding here?

thanks,

Ben

OSE doesn't provide a definitive list of all backlinks.  The internet is massive and any data provider only crawls a portion of it.  Even Google doesn't have 100% coverage.

OSE focuses on what it sees as the more important links.  I do find that it can miss links that are fairly buried on  very large sites though.  I know that it often fails to pick up links from the BBC which is irritating for us, as that is a "dream site" link for many projects that we work on.
