OSE - Link Opportunities

[Kingof5]

I'm checking out this new Link Opportunities feature for one of our sites and what I'm seeing right now is pretty disappointing.

For Reclaim Links, everything listed is an internal link on our site. It's got tons of URLs from our old Iciniti structure (replatformed to Magento mid-March). It's crawling tons of stuff that's blocked in robots. There are no links from external domains in the first 5 pages.

For Unlinked Mentions, it's showing tons of mentions - 33,566 to be exact, a ridiculous number - mostly from news sites like Forbes, WSJ, Guardian, CNN, etc. These sites are not mentioning us. It's set up to look only for our brand name or domain name, so I don't know how it's thinking there are all these nonexistent mentions.

What's going on with Link Opportunities?

Hi

It seems to be working ok for us, however whats your brand name?

If your brand is something like cheaplaptops then this is going to appear on these sites, when they are talking about cheap laptops, but they aren't obviously mentioning you.

I will take a look if you can send me your url or brand name.

Thanks

Andy

Hey,

Thanks for the feedback.

You can think of Reclaim Links as a curated list of your Top Pages. They're URLs on your site that have links pointing to them but can't rank or pass link equity due to problematic server responses or other conditions (4xx for example). The idea is to fix broken pages or adjust from 302 to 301 redirects when appropriate. There's a bit more information in the help hub.

In terms of Unlinked Mentions, if you want to narrow your results you can use Fresh Web Explorer operators to exclude certain terms/phrases. If you think the results are flat out inaccurate it's something we'll definitely want to dig into on our end. Feel free to send the domain you're searching for to the Help team and we can do some investigation.

Is there a place where I can hit refresh. We relaunched our Site Kfz.net a few month ago and a lot of links where broken and had 404 responses (some fixed some not).

The page is showing a lot of links that are returning http 200 now. How can I refresh?

Hey Autoschieber,

There's no manual refresh unfortunately.

The Reclaim Links report refreshes with every MozScape index update. So you'll see those changes reflected in the report when MozScape re-crawls the site at the beginning of November.
