      Hi,

      I have been using OSE to check competitor links, DA, PA etc. And recently noticed that an author at Gizmodo was kind enough to link us to a blog post of his.

      This is great news as Gizmodo has a DA of 94 and a PA of 50 (Which is pretty big compared to our DA of 30 and PA of 42).

      The link to the post is here: http://gizmodo.com/5956401/everything-you-need-for-the-best-trick+or+treating-house-in-the-neighborhood

      And the link to our website is: http://www.electromarket.co.uk/lighting-effects/lighting-effects/strobe/ffa0144

      It was showing on OSE for the past few days but now it has vanished and it is showing channel5 (TV Channel in the UK) as the highest DA linking to us, which is still pretty good. But I just want to know why the link has stopped displaying on OSE 😞

      Any help or insight is appreciated!

      Tom

        I had the author change the link to an updated URL. I believe this to be the problem with it temporarily being removed from OSE.

          sounds right,  OSE does not get all links, I have found links it has missed a few in the past (normally low DA sites) or it might take 2 crawls before it picks it up.  If its still missing after the next crawl or too, might be worth reporting (since it a big PA backlink)
