No Mozscape Index Update This Month?

[sbrault74]

In OpenSiteExplorer.org, it says:

"Last Mozscape index update: July 11, 2013. Next Mozscape index update: August 26, 2013"

There was supposed to be an update yesterday (Aug. 8).

Given Moz' usual transparency I'm sure there will either be an update within a few days, or a mention of why they have failed to release a new Mozscape update at the time they had planned to release it.

You're right, we did have to scrap the index that was supposed to be released this week.

A little background first. Before we release an index, we look at the quality of the index, data correlation, and a bunch of stuff. This time, the correlations did not match up, and we decided that it would be worse to release this index than it would be to keep with the old index.

We've got a post about it at http://moz.com/products/api/updates.

Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the delay.

I would love to know what this whole new section of the internet is. Any clues on it?

I'm not sure offhand, but I'll ask and see what I can find out.
