      Not sure why this is happening but when i run our site though open site explorer it is only coming back with 1 link yet we have at least 10 - 20?

      our site is https://www.fastlabels.co.uk and i tried without the https:// so www.fastlabels.co.uk

      Any help would be appreciated.

        Hi there,

        Remember that the amount of link encountered depends on the platform's crawler (if comparing moz/ahrefs/magestic or other) and highly depends on the last crawl.
        In moz's case, the last mozscape have been with fewer URLs crawled. It might be that your issue.

        You can check the Mozscape update dates and the historical here: Mozscape update - Moz

        Hope I've helped you.
        GR.

          Hi Bob,

          Gaston is absolutely correct - Links will only be updated as MOZ finds the links as it trawls the web.

          I did have a quick look on Ahrefs for you and it shows 35 referring domains and 70 backlinks, so it does indeed look like you are growing links steadily.

          -Andy
