Expired domains and OSE?

[lsilver]

If a domain expires will it remain in OSE indefinitely and show external backlinks? Or at some point does the domain get removed from OSE?

Eventually that expired domain will be removed from OSE and won't show as a backlink to your site. Every time we publish an Mozscape index, it's completely fresh and reverified link information. Hope this helps!

Erica is completely right in the open  site Explorer cache will determine how long the site information stays in the tool. If you were to a look at a domain and it expired the next week then 2 weeks later you go check it out it will be ranked accordingly with a level I Moz has the most relevant fresh information of all the 3 big index tools both majestic and arefs.

the best place to look for old sites that are no longer on the web is the way back machine or archive.org
