Why some of my strong backlinks don't show up in Site Explorer
-
Hello,
Just was checking my backlinks and I see that few very strong backlinks are not showing up in my links list. I check with Moz bar in my browser and those are all dofollow links.
Some of those sites link back to me a while ago.
Thanks,
Regards,
Armands

Also some websites may have blocked Moz crawler, with the meta
So all their links won't show in OpenSiteExplorer

Hi,
Althought OSE is a great tool, it's not 100% accurate. Sometimes there will be a delay and sometimes it won't show some of your links. The main purpose of OSE (in my opinion) - is competitive analysis to find link opportunities.
Thanks,

Hi Armands,
Moz updates their index about once a month. Next update in June 21st.
Also, while the Moz index is rather large it's not all encompassing, which means there are backlinks that it just won't find.
Here's some more information that you might find helpful:

Link Explorer is not working for particular domain
Hello, Linking Domain section in Link Explorer is not working fine for sewingmachineprice.com. When I put this domain to analyze for backlinks it says, "You entered the URL https://sewingmachineprice.com/ which redirects to www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=sewingmachineprice&e=com. Click here to analyze www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=sewingmachineprice&e=com instead." In fact, this domain is not redirected to any third domain or URL. I personally checked it and can access this website without any redirection.

Why is Link Explorer showing the same domain strength for domain and sub-domain? Shouldn't it be different?
I believe in the past the sub-domain score was different than the domain score in Link Explorer. Now I am seeing that it is reporting the same score. I have to use exact page to get a sense of how strong the sub-domain is.

Why Moz Link Explorer is showing wrong data?
Hi everyone. I am using Moz Link Explorer to find relevant links from competitors and when I narrow it down to Link Type: Follow Status: Active I get the list. All good here... BUT ... Inspecting the actual link on the page there is a no=follow attached to it. Is this feature still working properly on the new Link Explorer or is a bug? Thanks!
