Open Site Explorer not detecting linking domain on my site
-
So I was using Open Site Explorer to analyze my domain authority and page authority as can be seen here. My site has been covered by some press and in the article it actually links my site. Some of the articles can be seen on, here, here, and here. Any idea why none of these articles are detected as a linking domain to my site? Is there something that I am doing wrong?

You can manually add your backlinks to the OSE and can manipulate your domain authority, read this http://moz.com/community/q/how-you-can-manipulate-your-moz-da

It may have been indexed at the time but once we index a page we don't keep it forever. This is where your SEO will come into play to maintain strong links. As I mentioned before our indexes are replaced with every update from scratch and we will only store previous information in our cache for up to 60 days.

Why wasn't this indexed a while back ago when the article was actually live then? Now it's harder for me to guess my domain authority because of this.

The articles for shopious on techinasia, kompas, and dailysocial are not in the current index. Dailysocial appears as the linking root domain because they link more recent pages (http://en.dailysocial.net/post/buildconf-organizers-aim-to-sharpen-the-skills-of-indonesian-software-developers) which you can see if you toggle the filter to show pages for the entire root domain. Going forward OSE does not have any reason to index a page from several months ago unless you make changes or create new links to those articles to get on OSE's radar. Once a site is indexed they are not guaranteed to remain forever since new indexes start from scratch everytime and will only keep a cache of previously indexed pages for up to 30-60 days.

Those referring links from sites I linked above are of high domain authority. Also I can see other sites written by those publishers and I can see the linked domain when using OSE. The articles on the publisher website above are not buried beneath layers of navigation.
If your suggestion is to work on link building with sites with high mozrank, then I've actually done so from the 3 links I have linked above. The question is just you're not taking it into account. Please suggest

Hello!
OSE won't necessarily crawl every page depending on their authority.
Just so you know, here's how we compile our index:
- We grab the most recent index.
- We take the top 10 billion URLs with the highest MozRank (with a fixed limit on some of the larger domains).
- We start crawling from the top down until we've crawled 90,000,000,000 pages (which is about 35% the amount in Google's index).
Therefore, if the site is not linked to by one of these seed URLs (or one of the URLs linked to by them in the next update) then it won't show up in our index.
Mozscape focuses on a breadth-first approach. Therefore we almost always have content from the homepage of websites, externally linked-to pages, and pages higher up in a site's information hierarchy. However, deep pages that are buried beneath many layers of navigation are sometimes missed and it may be several index updates before we catch all of these.
If our crawlers or data sources are blocked from reaching those URLs, they may not be included in our index (though links that point to those pages will still be available). Finally, the URLs seen by Mozscape must be linked-to by other documents on the web or our index will not include them.
For now, the best thing you can do to help your domain become indexed is to work on link building for links from sites with high mozrank. If you need help with that, you may want to ask the Q&A community about it who can give you great advice!

Site moved to https and not showing any Moz DA or PA
Hello Fellow Mozzers, So, I have a client site that we moved from non https to https at the end of 2015. We had decent moz numbers (Da/Pa etc) but now we are only showing a 1 for both of them. Does it usually take time for Moz to carry over the info to the https version or does that process entirely start over? Not sure where to start looking. Cheers D

External Followed Links report
I would like to know, how do I get a report with the TOTAL amount of my external followed links.When I look on "Link Metric" it shows me: External Followed Links 2,951 But when I looked on Inbound links (only follow / only external), it shows me only 645. Why is that and how do I get the total from 2.951? Thanks
