      I saw the note today that the link index did it's monthly update, yet our site www.oznappies.com still only shows 1 linking root domain and I know there are many more links now.

      What do I need to do to get open Site Explorer to use the latest data?

      I enter our site, create the report and only see old information from 6 may 2011's link index.

      I have the same issue with competive link finder, links I know we have on the sites listed for our competitors are not showing for our site.

        the seomoz crawler is very conservative and will take a while to pick up on links. This has both good and bad aspects. Don't worry though you can always check in Google's webmaster tools for backlinks to your site.

        It usually takes 1-2 months for the mozcrawler to find links to my sites. If you are impatient you can try pinging the links with something like pingomatic.com although i am not sure if the mozcrawler listens to those signals or not....

          Our reports still show 5-06-11, so I assume we are all still waiting.  You can use several free back link tools to see if your links are indexed.  Try link diagnosis.com  ( you need firefox and the plug in) or link back watch.  Links will show up there pretty fast (same day if Google indexed it). Google web master as well of course, and yahoo site explorer.

              Recently the index has been updated monthly.

              You can see the last time Open Site Explorer was updated, in the bottom left hand corner, currently says 'Last Index Update: Jun 6th, 2011' and 'Next Index Update: July 2011'

                  Perhaps it was cached in your browser?

                  • I am trying to find inbound links for one of my site urls. My question is does SEOMoz able to track all internal links as the Open Site Explorer shows 0 internal links?
