      Hi folks

      Recently (about a month ago) we launched a new website. However, when I use Open Site Explorer and look at the "Top pages" tab, old URL's which no longer exist, appears in the list. Is there some way to get around this?

      Thanks.

        Open Site Explorer is powered by the Mozscape index. As we re-crawl the site and update the index, you should see any pages which aren't there move out and the new ones get in. This might take 30-60 days from when the pages were removed/changed (or longer if the timing's bad - our index updates every ~15 days with crawl data from the past 60 days, so if there's an unlucky overlap, data could be as old as 75 days or as fresh as 15 days).

          Thanks for the quick (and elaborate) answer! Will keep an eye on the index then 😉
