Solved Moz Link Explorer slow to find external links
-
I have a site with 48 linking domains and 200 total links showing in Google Search Console. These are legit and good quality links.
Since creating a campaign 2 months ago, Moz link explorer for the same site only shows me 2 linking domains and 3 total links.
I realise Moz cannot crawl with the same speed and depth as Google but this is poor performance for a premium product and doesn't remotely reflect the link profile of the domain.
Is there a way to submit a sitemap or list of links to Moz for the purpose of crawling and adding to Link Explorer?

Is there a way to submit a sitemap or list of links to Moz for the purpose of crawling and adding to Link Explorer?Yes, Moz offers a feature called "Link Tracking Lists" that allows users to submit a list of URLs for tracking in Link Explorer. Here's how you can do it:
Log in to your Moz account and navigate to the "Link Explorer" tool.
Click on "Add a New Tracking List" or "Create a New List" (depending on the interface).
Enter a name for your tracking list and add the URLs you want to track. You can enter individual URLs or upload a CSV file containing a list of URLs.
Once you've added the URLs, Moz will begin crawling and tracking those links in Link Explorer.
Keep in mind that while this feature allows you to track specific URLs, it may not guarantee immediate or comprehensive coverage of all links. Moz's crawling capabilities may vary compared to search engines like Google.
By utilizing the Link Tracking Lists feature, you can submit specific URLs or a list of links to Moz for crawling and inclusion in Link Explorer, which can provide additional insights into your site's link profile beyond what is automatically discovered by Moz's regular crawling process.

Even though Moz's tool doesn't search websites as thoroughly or quickly as Google does, the fact that it's not showing all your links is worrying.

Moz Toolbar "Get Keyword Difficulty"
New Moz Pro user here, and I've a question about the green "Get Keyword Difficulty" button that shows up to the right of the Google Search Keyword Term Input field after a successful search. Clicking on this seems to have no effect for me what-so-ever. Doesn't take me to the keyword tool, download a report, or add anything to the one screen link analyses in the search results. In short, i'm not sure how this tool is supposed to function. I'm using the latest version of Google Chrome (Version 52.0.2743.60 beta-m (64-bit)) on a Windows 10 machine.

Drop in Site Links
Hi all, I've noticed recently a dramatic drop in the number of external links showing in moz across all campaigns (including tracked competitors) Is this to do with the new indexing? Thanks

Open Site Explorer not reporting all 301 redirected links
Our site had over 2,000 root domains linking to it as reported in MOZ Open Site Explorer (and Google Webmaster Tools). We then changed the domain and made sure that 301 redirects were set up for all pages across the site. That was about 1 month ago. Open Site Explorer is now reporting less than 300 linking root domains. For the links that it is reporting the majority of these are being 301 redirected to the new URLs (some of them we changed the links directly). However the majority of the links that are being 301 redirected are not being reported. It is reporting most of the links coming from the old to the new domain. Google Webmaster Tools is reporting over 1,000 linking root domains to the new domain (it has a max of 1,000). We did notice that MOZ took some time to update the domain authority of the new domain. It was 1 for along time and it has now jumped up to 46 ( it was previously at 74). Maybe this is a time delay thing and eventually Open Site Explorer will report all of the 301 redirected links? It is a bit frustrating at the moment as we can't fully analyse the links to the site to try to focus on the high domain linking sites to get them to change the link directly. Also, If all links are being 301 redirected to the new domain should the authority not be close to where it was previously after one month? Our search traffic has dropped considerably since the launch of the new site and hasn't returned yet, so just wondering if the 301 redirected links pass on as much value as thre original direct links. Thanks, Damien
