Am I using OSE wrong?
-
Hi - new to all this!
A link on a competitor site is showing as 404 when I check it with OSE but nothing on the page seems to be broken.
It's got loads of links to it, so I'm trying to work out what's going on. I just filtered the results by '40?'.
Thanks

Fresh links on sites with high authority can queue new links and sites to be recrawled. Our index starts from 0 each update so we would need a reason to recrawl external domain with links. Most sites the have continuous link building are kept updated in our index. There has been new links discovered and are in the queue to be processed which can appear in the next 1-2 updates: https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/just-discovered?site=www.copyblogger.com&filter=&source=&target=domain&page=1&sort=crawled

How often do you crawl sites (and in particular that site)?
-
The last time we crawled the site was on January 14th and it does appear many pages were not available until January 16th.

Hi. I think that's a fair response, if it weren't for the fact that the majority of the links showing up seem okay...
Here's an example: http://www.copyblogger.com/2015-online-business-report/

Hi There!
The 404 may have existed when we first discovered the link. The data in OSE is not a live representation as we can cache data for up to 190 days.

Can you provide us with a URL to see for ourselves?

Is OSE having problems?
The healthpage says it is operational but I'm getting a ton of 'There was an error getting your data' messages. First I thought, it just happens to smaller pages, since testing it with moz.com worked. But even pages like nbc.com give me this error. I tried logging out an in again and even swithcing browsers - without success. Anyone else having problems like this right now? Cheers, Chris

OSE unavailable and Rank Tracker not refreshing
I tried to submit a help ticket, but the help tickets also are not working! OSE for at least the last 12 hours has been returning Unavailable. Also, Rank Tracker never updates and just endlessly spins. Can someone shed some light on the issue and when the solution will be implemented? Thank you
