Moz crawling doesn't show all of my Backlinks

[fassi34562]

I'm trying to make an SEO backlinks and anchors report on my website

When using the Link Explorer, I see no backlinks to  show while I have create much more backlinks on this website. How to fix the issue?

How can I check and correct report of my backlinks? Website is www.poolcleanerspro.com 

I also need some how to track a keywords?

I also notice that not all my back-links show in the MOZ reporting.  Many do, but not all. I'd like to know all of them so I can put any spamy ones in my disavow file.

Hi there, unfortunately we can't really rely on any one tool to know all of our backlinks, even Google!

When someone links to your site, they could be doing it from the New York Times, or they could be doing it from a tiny site which they just created. The only way any tool (Google, Moz etc.) can get a list of backlinks is by continually accessing a page, finding every link on that page, going to all the linked pages, finding all the links on those pages etc.

With something like the New York Times, these tools know the site, they know to keep coming back to check every so often, so it's more likely they identify the link going to your site. With a tiny site someone has just created - it's much harder for these tools to even know the site exists, never mind know the specific page on that site which is linking to yours. Even if a tool has a massive database of the internet, there are trillions of web pages and no one database will have a record of them all.

The next best thing is for us to use as many tools as we can to get as complete a picture of the issue as we can.  I often try to check;

• Moz
• Google Search Console (this will only give you the first 1K)
• AHrefs
• SEMRush
• Majestic SEO.

You'll need to dedupe the different lists but between them, they should stand a better chance of finding backlinks to your site. If they don't find anything then it's likely that the pages linking to your site are either quite out-of-the-way or they are in some way blocked from crawlers.

In terms of tracking keywords, Moz does allow you to include a keyword list which it'll give you ranking information for over time, you can also track keywords in Stat (search "getstat"), and SEMRush and AHRefs will give you ranking information too.

Hope that helps!

Hi fassi34562!

Such great information from Robin!

The good news is, that if you already know that links to your website exist and you know where they come from, you can actually help Link Explorer to find them more quickly by adding them to a Link Tracking List!

Adding a link to the Link Tracking List will tell the Moz crawler to check the page for links to the Target URL. Your target URL can be a specific page, or you can use the domain URL. The important thing to remember if you are using a Link Tracking List to confirm existing links is to use specific page URLs in your list - this will make sure the crawler goes right to the page where the link exists. Otherwise, it may take time for the crawler to eventually get to the exact page within the site as Robin explained above

Once the link is found (and as long as the page is not blocked) you will see the icons change in your list to show that the link has been found. You can also make notes so you have a record of any important information.

Here's a Guide to using Link Tracking Lists for all kinds of SEO tasks!!

Hope that helps!

Hi, everyone. I am writing on behalf of Elseo and suffering from the same technical challenge.  We are generating several backlinks from various sources (not spammy), but Moz tool does not crawl or show my backlinks on its listing. However, other tools does crawl and show no matter the date of the backing generated.

Hi Bloggers123,

If you follow the directions in the thread above to create a Link Tracking List and add the specific URLs of any links you are aware of then the Moz crawler will crawl those links within a few days.

Hey, this is exactly what I experience with cv formasi. During the first crawl of the campaign, the tool returned normal almost all links visible compared to GSC. Then it almost stopped working. I wonder if it is something to do with the number of pages set to crawled when you just create a campaing. From now on I always set the number of pages maximum, see if it works
