    Hi all,

    I have seen a few discussions / advice pieces around this, but wondered what the current view is on the fastest way to get new backlinks recognised by Moz?

    I have seen people say that the content needs to be shared (e.g. on Twitter), and advice around creating Bitly links.  I am not convinced that these techniques are working.

    On a related note, my website is very large.  I have around 2.5m pages.  Most of these pages are 3-4 clicks from the home page, but I have a small amount of important content much higher up in the site (1-2 clicks from the home page).  Does Moz crawl pages nearer the home page more frequently, or does it make a pass of all pages on the site before it starts at the beginning again?  If it makes a complete pass of all pages, then presumably making my site smaller will help to get Moz to see new content more quickly?  Is there any other value to be gained in making a large site smaller?

    Many thanks in advance,

    Neil.

      I can personally recommend DeepCrawl, its an amazing tool. Use it almost every day.

        Hm... I'm not totally sure - that might be a question to ask of Feedly's support folks. Here's what I found when I tried to go digging for some information: https://blog.feedly.com/feedly-tutorial/

        Hope that helps!

          Hi Tawny,

          Final question I think:  how do you use create a feedly link for a specific page, in order to then tweet it?  I am sorry to ask this, but cannot see how to do this.

          Thanks!

          Neil.

            Hey Neil,

            We used to use bit.ly links for this purpose, but we've switched over to feed.ly links. When I said that both a) and b) would help to get your links indexed and picked up by Open Site Explorer, I suppose I meant that a two-pronged approach would be best. I would recommend doing both! 🙂

            Hope that helps! If you've got more questions, feel free to drop us a line at help@moz.com and we'll do our best to help!

              Hi David,

              Many thanks for your response, it's really useful.  I will be sure to check out Deep Crawl as I hadn't heard of that tool before.

              Unfortunately, in my line of business, my site's Moz DA has a direct impact on my revenue, it's actually more important than my Google search rankings (crazy world we live in when the performance indicator matters more than the performance!!).

              Kind regards,

              Neil.

                Hi NHARRIS1,

                If you replace all of your mentions of "Moz" with "Google / search engines" your original post makes more sense.

                It doesn't matter if Moz sees your links and it's a waste of your time to try and speed up Moz recognizing your new links - it will not help your organic performance in the slightest.

                Also, I believe Moz has a crawl limit of 50,000 pages per site (someone from Moz can confirm / correct this) so it will only ever be scratching the surface of your 2.5m page site.

                If you want to do a full crawl of your site to analyse issues, you might want to try Screaming Frog or Deep Crawl.

                Cheers,

                David

                  Hi Tawny,

                  Many thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it!

                  Re "The fastest way to get links indexed would be to a) tweet them as feed.ly links and b) search for your site in Open Site Explorer...", I have a couple of clarification questions if you don't mind.

                  Firstly, are you saying to do both (a) and (b) in order to get new content indexed, or are you saying to do either (a) or (b),  If the latter, which one is faster?

                  Secondly, is that definitely feed.ly?  I thought we needed to use bitly.com?

                  Kind regards,

                  Neil.

                    Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here. These are great questions!

                    All of the links that end up in Just Discovered Links (JDL) come from tweeted feed.ly links.

                    This is separate to the Mozscape Index, which is what powers Open Site Explorer and the Links section of Moz Pro campaigns. Links that we discover are crawled for inclusion in our main index based on the authority of those URLs.

                    I’m afraid we don’t have a specific timeframe for when links from Just Discovered Links would appear in the Mozscape index. Because of the time it takes to identify links, schedule, crawl and index them, it can be one to two indexes before the links in JDL become established links in our index. A higher domain authority of linking domains will help ensure the links are included in the index, but do not help in speeding the process of getting links indexed.

                    The fastest way to get links indexed would be to a) tweet them as feed.ly links and b) search for your site in Open Site Explorer, which will prompt our tools to revisit your site and crawl it to include more links in the index. We start from your homepage and crawl the links we find from there, so it's possible that our tools might miss links that are more deeply buried into your site.

                    I hope that helps! If you've still got any questions, feel free to shoot us a note at help@moz.com and we'll do our best to sort you out. Cheers!

                      When looking at the backlinks for a client's competitor I found that they had a backlink on search.yahoo.com/reviews and our domain (harmonyhit.com) did not. I was using the Link Explorer tool. However, when I go to yahoo Search I see that the website of harmonyhit.com is indexed in Yahoo search and has links to the site. Also, it's sitemap has been recently crawled in Bing webmaster tools which Yahoo uses. Why does our client have the backlink accounted for and we do not?

                      If I have a MOZ PRO account, do I still need Screaming Frog?

                      Hi, I have a MOZ PRO account which is brilliant for me. I am about to move my site from HTTP to HTTPS and was looking for a smooth way to list every page and its details so I can make sure I do the correct redirects etc.. before the switch to SSL. Do I need to get Screaming Frog, or can the tools with MOZ Pro ease my path just as well? Thanks

                      Moz Pro: Linking RDs to Page much lower than Google Search Console

                      I'm trying to use the Analyze Keyword tool in Moz Pro, and in the SERP Analysis table, my page has a PA of one, and zero root domains linking to it. If I look at the page in Google Search console, it says I have 229 root domains linking to the page from well known domains like github.com, meetup.com, stackoverflow.com, etc. This particular keyword has been tracked in Moz for the last 6 months, but I just noticed that it was extremely low. I am relatively new to Moz, so forgive me if I sound confused, but can someone explain to me how the numbers can be so low?
