        Hi there

        What you are finding is perfectly normal, as Moz's bot usually takes some time until finding most of the links present on the web. Keep in mind that the internet as a whole is so vast that not even Google can crawl it entirely.

        I'd suggest you wait a little longer.

        Also, you can find more information about that in Moz's official resource: Moz Isn’t Finding Your Links - Moz Help Hub.

        Hope it helps,
        Best luck

          Hi there!

          Sam from Moz's Help Team here - thanks for writing in and sorry about the trouble!

          Newly discovered links have the ability to be populated into our index in about 1-3 days, however there are a lot of factors which can affect our ability to find and index links to your site. It's important to note that we add new data to our index everyday but it may take some time for us to discover backlinks to your site based on factors like crawlability of the referring pages, quality of the links and the referring pages, and more.

          If you are not seeing links that you know you have, you may want to make sure that they can be indexed. It is also a good idea to check to see if we've indexed the page on which that link is found. If we haven't indexed the referring page yet, you won't see your link in our index

          You can also add links to Link Tracking Lists. Once you add a link to your tracking lists we will add that page to be crawled. As long as it is accessible to our crawler, you should see the link in our index as soon as we can index those pages.

          Lastly, I have a great guide here with some things to check around why we may not have found your links yet: https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/moz-isnt-finding-your-links

          I hope this helps — let me know if you have any further questions!
