Backlink profile not current

[TurtleGirl]

How often are the backlink profiles updated? I'm researching competitor backlinks to add to our own link profile but it doesn't seem like not all the links are current. So how am I supposed to know which links are current and which have been erased?

Can anyone please guide me though using the advanced filters CSV reports? I requested a report and got a blank excel spreadsheet. Please give me an example of what kind of things I should be searching for.

Hi! Sorry to hear you're having difficulties. Have you checked out our Getting Started area of our Help Hub at http://moz.com/help/guides/getting-started?

Our links are updated about every month, and old links are removed with each release.

We also have FAQs that lead to a contact form for our help team at https://moz.com/help/contact that can lend a hand.

Hope this helps!

Hi Keri,

I am also facing this issue with your links data as most of it is outdated and can you please confirm that link data is up to date as 1 month period is quite long and to analyse our site and competitors we have to be quick on analyzing and observe the results.

If you are having issues with the Moz tool, try using Google Webmaster tools to see who links back to you. You can also see the last time it was updated and crawled.

Also, this will help you if you are just beginning the competitive analysis. Breaks down all the details:
