      Hi,

      How frequently is the inbound link report updated?   I have added a number of inbound links this week, but they are not showing in Moz

      Thanks

        As MOZ says, It takes about three dates to crawl and update the link profile.

        https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/moz-isnt-finding-your-links

        It’s important to note that if a link has been recently added to a page, it can take some time for our crawler to find it and add it to the index. After being found, newly discovered links have the ability to be populated into our index in about 3 days however the discovery date is not necessarily indicative of when a link was created. Our link index is always growing so links that are older, newer, and everything in between may be discovered along the way.

          Hi there,

          As Sanka has said, it can take a few days before Moz adds links to Link Explorer after it has discovered the link. It's really important to remember that the Moz crawler won't be the same or even as powerful as search engine crawlers. So try not to worry too much if you're building good links but Moz hasn't discovered them yet.

          It's worth using Google Search Console alongside Moz which can give you another data set from which to see where you're getting links from. Again, it may not report everything, but it can give you another source of data to use.

          Hope that helps!

          Paddy
