Open Site Explorer Question: Img Alt tags on Links Report

[Acorn-IS]

I recently ran a links report on a client and noticed a repetitive img alt showing up on all the pages.

This img alt tag is from this clients OLD SITE that has been replaced, removed, and redirected 6-8 weeks ago.

Why would Open Site Explorer not be reading the new site code therefore NOT showing these old repeated img alt tags as part of the site's internal links?

If Open Site Explorer is finding (or remembering) this old code from the old site, I'm concerned that Google is finding it too.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I wouldn't worry. Open Site Explorer (though a great tool) isn't updated as often as we'd like because Moz simply doesn't have the crawl power that Google has at its disposal.

Be patient and OSE will catch up.

In the meantime you could compare the links in Google Webmaster Tools (Traffic > Links to your Site). However, this info isn't great either and doesn't drill down into the individual links in the way that OSE does.
