Updating OSE data

[GalcoIndustrial]

Hello Moz,

I was wondering if anyone knows how Moz goes about updating their OSE data?  I've been doing some link building that past couple of weeks, and I notice that the number of "just discovered" links will update every time I gain a new link, however, the "Linking domains" number doesn't (or maybe, rarely) update.  I've checked through the "Linking domains" list to see if the link is there, but none of the links I've just recently obtained have shown up under that metric.

Does anyone have any insight on this or is anyone experiencing the same issue?  Thanks for reading!

Hey Gerard,

Thanks for the question. OSE actually uses data from the Mozscape index which is updated fairly regularly (and getting more frequent). It can take a month or more for your link building activity to be represented, but we do try to update as quickly as possible.

You can read more about OSE here: http://moz.com/help/guides/research-tools/open-site-explorer and read about our index updates here: http://moz.com/products/api/updates

Thanks!
Joel.

Thanks Joel!  I've bookmarked the Mozscape API Update page.  That helps a lot.

Cheers!
