      Hi there

      I set up a campaign 2 weeks ago but I am registering zero internal or external links for my website. It's a small site with only about 300 external links but they show in Webmaster tools but not in my link report or Open Site Explorer.

      Do I need to wait until the next OSE crawl or is something wrong with my set up?

      Thanks in advance!

      Laurie

        Open Site Explorer only indexes a portion of the Web. If your links are showing up in Webmaster tools that's ok and there's nothing to worry about. Eventually, OSE will start showing your Links.

          If you signed up two weeks ago when you have zero URLs showing up I would check your settings and make sure that your campaign set up correctly. And you should see something at least 100 to 300 URLs crawled

            Thomas, I guess she's talking about inbound links reported by OSE, not the URL Crawl diagnostics by Moz...

              I will agree with Fede, the problem with OSE is it only crawls the portion of the website so if your links are not appearing in OSE they probably will (with the time). There is no harm in trusting the data from Google Webmaster Tool!
