Open site explorer

[720digital]

Hi,

I am a little confused how open site explorer updates (not sure its working as aspected). It shows the recent discovered links but these then disappear and do not show in the main list (Inbound links) after a few days.

Plus the links in the inbound links tab has not changed for nearly 10 weeks, my other tools are showing the new links.....

Does it update on a certain data, if so where can i check the status?

Thanks

Hey 720,

Links in Just Discovered Links are completely separate from Links in Mozscape/OSE.

JDL "indexes URLs within about one hour of being shared on Twitter—as well as the URLs linked from those tweeted pages." As I understand it, JDL URLs are displayed in the report without regard to their value or the value (DA,PA) of the pages the links reside on.  On the other hand, URLs in OSE are not indiscriminate.  The links in OSE are the result of crawls that attempt to reach only URLs of a predefined depth/quality.

I'm not sure if this is the case for your situation but (again, as I understand it), if the links that show up in JDL are found on low quality pages, it is possible that they will never show up in OSE.

30 days is the length of time a just discovered link remains visible on JDL.
