      Hi Moz community,

      I have been using this tool to check my DA & PA and backlinks of my website.

      Since last week we have some outbound links to my website as I knew it but MOZ havent pointed out these links when I use the "Open site explorer" tool.

      Please answer this for me.

      Thanks & regards,

      Zita

        Are these new links? It may be a case of Moz needs to rerun its crawl of your website in order to pick up any changes. Check back after a little while or maybe try a recrawl test - https://moz.com/researchtools/crawl-test

        Failing that, send them a polite message 🙂

          Hi there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here. I think I can help explain why you may not be seeing links to your site in Open Explorer yet.

          Open Site Explorer and the Link Analysis page of campaigns are both tied to our Mozscape index, which tends to update roughly once a month.

          Just a few points on how we compile our index:

          • We grab the most recent index.
          • We take the top 10 billion URLs with the highest MozRank (with a fixed limit on some of the larger domains).
          • We start crawling from the top down until we've crawled ~130 billion URLs

          The idea here is that we're focusing on the highest-quality links we can find, coming from the most prominent pages of authoritative sites. So, while you may not see every link for a site within our index, we're aiming to report the most valuable ones available!

          Most new sites and links will be indexed by our spiders and available in Mozscape and Open Site Explorer within 60 days, but some take even longer for many reasons - including the crawl-ability of sites, the number of inbound links to them, and the depth of pages in subdirectories.

          You can see our most recently updated schedule here as well as some more technical metrics on our Mozscape API Updates page. You can also see when the last and next updates happened on the Open Site Explorer (OSE) homepage at any time.

          Since Moz focuses on quality of links over quantity, we are always focused on the most relevant links to display to our users. It's possible that Moz's index will leave out some of the lower-quality (non-link juice providing) links out of our index because of this. So, that might explain why you may see some discrepancies with what other tools may be showing.

          I know this is a ton of information, so if you have any questions or if I didn't make anything clear enough, please don't hesitate to write in to help@moz.com and ask! 🙂

            Hi there,

            Thank you for your answer, but its too slow and we are purchasing the MOZ product to keep tracking on our SEO performance. Hence, if it does take two months for you to update our data, how can we revise or adjust our SEO strategy to compete in the market? Some other tools is already index us.

            If it takes that slow to index our page when we buy your product, we will have to consider using MOZ. I have to say that.

            Kind regards,

            zita
