Link tracking list not finding my links
-
I am using the Link Tracking List to track new backlinks that I have achieved. However, the report still shows about half of them as not found... even some that have been there for several weeks.
I thoroughly tested a couple of them to make sure the links were coded in html, there were no nofollow/noindex rules, the bot was not blocked etc, but still found nothing.
What can I do now?

Hey there!
Thanks for reaching out to us!
We hope to see links added to Link Tracking Lists appear within our index within 2 - 4 weeks, that is the typical timeframe. This mentioned timeframe is normal but not a 100% guarantee, as you should see most links appear in our index within that timeframe but it is possible you will not see all links added which would not be unusual.
Adding Links to our Link Tracking Lists helps our crawler to find them but when exactly our crawler finds your links may still vary between any given timeframe; some links may be found sooner and some later.
Due to the amount of links on the web, the crawl-ability of a site, the amount of links added to our lists and how our crawler naturally crawls it's hard to pinpoint exactly when your specific links added will be found in the Link Index.
