Where can I see the list of the new backlinks reported?

[2mlab]

In my dashboard I see a +875 in external links. Now they are 1,130. This sounds worrying rother than good news! I'd like to get an explaination but how can I see where these links come from? And when?

How can be explained a steep increase in the link count from the last index?

Also, a minor question, where can I find the increase percentage? I am able to see only the absolute count.

Hello, my friend.

To see the list of fresh backlinks - go to Open Site Explorer and go to "just discovered" section. This will return the list of... just discovered backlinks. The only problem - it'll give you data for past 60 days only (as far as I understand). So, if you need past that - use other backlink tools with historical index like Majestic.

Cheers.

Hi there!
While our index is rather large, it is by no means inclusive of every link on the web. We're continuously working to increase the scope of our index, which means that you could start to see more links included than before. Also, rather than a sheer volume change in our index, it could be related to the types of sites that we're looking at for a newer index update.

Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to report when a link was discovered by the index (other than in 'Just-Discovered Links' as Dmitrii mentioned above). It's certainly something we'd like to be able to accommodate for the future, but those changes would be a ways down the road.

With respect to a percentage increase, I don't believe it's displayed anywhere within the app, but you could find the value for that increase by dividing the new number of links (1130) by the original number of links (1130-875) and then multiplying by 100. I hope this helps!
