        when you use open Web Explorer you must select either page,  subdomain or root domain.

        If you checked your website for back links and simply left it on the default page you would not get all the links that are going to your actual website. Try changing that over to root domain here some information I got when I tried your site and open Web Explorer

        you have 57 links pointing to your root domain and a total of 10 domains pointing to the root domain. Before I used the Just-Discovered Links which was so accurate it actually showed me the link to this particular Question from you.

        I would give it some time and mix in a little of all the tools to get a full link profile. None of them are perfect however in my opinion this one's the best. Try using majestic SEO see would they come up with

        A new report that helps you identify recently created URLs and links. The Just-Discovered Links report indexes URLs within about 1 hour of being shared on Twitter, as well as the URLs linked from those tweeted pages. URLs that display a Page Authority score are in the Mozscape index or have been included previously; URLs marked "[No data]" are ones we've just discovered. This report is currently in beta mode; please keep this in mind when determining how to use this data in your workflow.

        http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links.html?filter=&group=0&page=1&site=promocodeslady.com&sort=page_authority&source=&target=domain

        I hope I have been of help to you,

        Thomas

            Hi Bhavin,

            OSE is a great tool, but it is not able to crawl the entire web. We do miss backlinks, and it can take a couple of months to show new links as well. We've been updating the index every couple of weeks, so do keep checking back to look for more links -- though it's the search engines seeing the links that's the important part, and thankfully they have many more computers to crawl the web than we do!

              I agree 100% with Kerry I am sorry that you are unable to see the links that you want to see. However you may want to try a combination of tools. Or simply give it time if you know the links are there I don't understand the problem. Aside from having to wait a short period of time and yes it's possible OSE has missed some links. However your site structure may have a lot to do with that or like Kerry said more likely it's simply impossible to keep up with Google there are other ways of knowing you may link and you can always look at both

              http://ahrefs.com/ and seomoz.com however I can tell you from tinkering with both you want to use seomoz in my opinion it is the best software.

              if you say I can see them are you referencing the link I gave above? If so simply go to filter then you will see root domain want to type in your URL at the top of OSE and click the filter button.

              Once you have done that your not just looking at links pointing to your homepage are looking at links pointing to your entire root domain rather it has been 301 redirect or not.

              I hope this is of help,

              Thomas

              PS Hi Keri hope you're doing well

                Hi Thomas,

                I already check that Just-Discovered Links but its showing me the links which I've build a month or so ago. Also I wait for almost a month to see in my SEOmoz account but still its not appearing.

                Looks like have to wait for few more days to see the exact picture.

                But frankly speaking if I would able to see the links within a week then its like the tool that can use to track the link profile of my competitors, Since during time period of month my competitors may have made hundreds or thousands of link.

                Thanks

                Bhavin
