Sudden surge in discovered links

[Online_Marketing_Monkey]

Hi everyone,

Recently Moz discovered a lot of old backlinks to my url. Some of them don't even exist anymore. I don't understand how Moz has found these links, even if they don't exist? And why did Moz find them suddenly all at once?

Can anyone help me with this question?

Thanks!

Hi there,

I think they updated their backlinks Database.

Could you pop a message about this over to help@moz.com with your account information/site URL, as well as some examples of some of the links in question so we can take  a look at this for you?

Thank you!!
