OSE shows links on sites but can't find links

[StephWeigert]

Hi mozzers,

I'm cleaning up our backlink profile and looking up anchortexts in OSE. I downloaded and selected one anchortext. However when I go to the sites OSE found, I can't find the links. I look in the source code and onpage keywords.

Is it because of my lack of skills that I can't find the links or isn't OSE working properly.

OSE doesn't operate in real time unless I am very much mistaken.  I believe it crawls and updates every week... or maybe month... so you could have had those links when they last crawled but have since lost them.  Or... I am wrong.. and if I am wrong I have no doubt that I will be corrected

You are not wrong!

We update the OSE data about once a month, and the crawls can take a couple to few weeks to process. So, the links were likely there when the site was crawled and have since been removed and those links just haven't been recrawled.

I thought I was correct  Thank you and sfseo for letting us know!
