Linking Domains - Missing

[Naomi_AE]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if someone could help me.  I keep reviewing my linking domains as I'm expecting a link back from an awards website that I recently sponsored / partnered.  However its just not showing. I can see the link on their site and I can see that the other partners links are being tracked when I look at them in Open Site Explorer.  I've got a couple of occurrences of this I'm and confused as to why?

Thanks for your help!

Hi there

If the page is being crawled by OSE (as shown by the link appearing in your competitors' link profile), it's probably a case of the link not being found yet by OSE for you.

OSE only updates once a month, with the next update due tomorrow in fact.  You can see the update history and future update dates here. So, judging by that if your link was placed after June 20th, and possibly a couple of days before to account for processing time, that would be the reason why it has not shown up yet.

If you placed the link well before then, it might be more of an issue with the link itself or OSE showing an error.  You can check to see if the link is showing up with a couple of other tools, such as MajesticSEO, Ahrefs (paid options) or OpenLinkProfiler (free).

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thank you that's very helpful!  OSE not yet updated might be the case for one,  however all the sponsors went on the site at the same time. I will check again after the next update.  The other link is older. In that case they have linked us from an image. So maybe that's the problem.

I will check out the other tools for sure!

Thanks Again

Naomi

Hi Naomi, if you'd like me to quickly check whether or not the link is showing in Majestic/Ahrefs, let me know your URL and the link URL, as I have access to both tools.  Either post here or send me a PM.

Thank you that's very kind, i'd really appreciate that!

Our url is:  www.agencyexpress.co.uk

The linking urls are:  http://www.theestas.com/partners/  and  http://www.redstones.co.uk/office-locations/brentwood/useful-information/trusted-suppliers

We don't have many but it's something I'm working on.

Thanks again Tom!

Good news! Both domains appear in MajesticSEO and Ahrefs. I've screen grabbed Majestic.

I imagine these will pop up in your OSE profile in the next update too.  But they're there and passing strength. Good job!
