How Long Do The Link Tracking Lists Take To Update?
-
Hi,
How long do the link tracking lists take to update? It's been over a week and each is still showing a red cross.
The reason I created it was because I migrated to a new domain name and Moz is still showing the backlinks on the old property and not the new (the domain swap happened in December 2020). I can see that Ahrefs has picked up all of the links - Both new and redirected - but Moz has not. When will this be reflected in Moz as it has already been over three months?
Is there a reason for the above questions?
I appreciate any response here.

Is there a reason for the above questions?The link tracking lists typically update within a few days to a week, but it seems they're taking longer in your case. This delay could be due to various factors such as technical issues or the complexity of the migration process. It's concerning that Moz hasn't reflected the domain swap from December 2020 yet, especially when Ahrefs has picked up the changes. It's worth contacting Moz support for clarification and assistance in resolving this discrepancy.

Link tracking list update times vary depending on the specific platform or service used. These lists are typically updated regularly for minutes to hours to ensure users have accurate and up-to-date tracking data. However, the exact period may vary depending on the frequency of data updates performed by your service provider.

please let me know how can i permanent lock my track sheet projects in moz.

An additional two months later and Moz still hasn't picked up the domain redirect links, nor has it picked up any of the 15/ 20 new links from legitimate, large publisher sites.
Ahrefs, Majestic, and SEMRush have picked up most.

This vaguely answers my question, so thank you.
However, it has been almost 4 weeks since setting up the tracking list and Moz still hasn't picked up the links. Not only that, it has picked up several links that come from low-quality, spammy sites.
The only thing I am getting from this experience is that Ahrefs and Majestic are much better than Moz and that I should not purchase a monthly subscription after the free trial ends.
Thank you for your time, Eli.

Hi,
We hope to see links added to Link Tracking Lists appear within our index within 2 - 4 weeks, that is the typical timeframe. This mentioned timeframe is normal but not a 100% guarantee, as you should see most links appear in our index within that timeframe but it is possible you will not see all links added which would not be unusual.
Adding Links to our Link Tracking Lists helps our crawler to find them but when exactly our crawler finds your links may still vary between any given timeframe; some links may be found sooner and some later.
Due to the amount of links on the web, the crawl-ability of a site, the amount of links added to our lists and how our crawler naturally crawls it's hard to pinpoint exactly when your specific links added will be found in the Link Index.
If there is anything else you need please feel free to reach out to help@moz.com

Unsolved Backlink updates
There are a large number of missing backlinks (old) which are not showing on Moz but do show on Ahrefs. Is there a reason for this? Thanks.

How long does Moz takes to update DA and PA value?
I used to work daily on my office website https://quintdaily.com/ and follow link building strategy. however, since more than 40-50 days, there is no movement in my DA, as the PA has just lifted up. However, there is no changes in Domain Authority so far. Besides, other than this website, im working on location wise SEO projects, but, i can find those websites Domain Authority changed in less 20 days. Is there is time period in changing the Domain Authority once it touched DA 30+?

Tumblr and Link Equity
Hi Moz Community, I've recently decided to start a project where I gather 1,000 great examples of something that's searched for often, and am thinking that posting it to a Tumblr site like the following website did could be a great way to pass link equity back to my main site (with a little "site by [my site]" somewhere in the header or footer). While I was super pumped about this idea today, and have now gathered almost 500 of my examples (mentioned above), I am not seeing link equity passed from this site, even on the non-redirected links here: http://gothamlogos.tumblr.com/ Anyone have any experience with projects like this? I've checked read the Moz Tumblr and SEO article from a few years ago, which makes it seem like this should be an SEO "win"... But using the Moz Pro account tools, I'm not seeing any of these non-redirect links (ordinary links) giving any value to anyone on this example site. Thanks so much in advance, Zack

How long do changes in title tags take to affect SEO?
This is kind of a loaded question. I'm completely new to SEO. I think my boss signed up for Moz Pro sometime in February and started adding data to our Ecommerce site to help with rankings. Sometime before this, I changed some of the title tags on the site (trying to help with organic search and CTR). I did not do a site wide change.... just changed maybe 10-20 (just a guess). I did it with keywords in mind but did not make note of when I did it. I didn't really know better at the time, and I did not have access to Google Analytics or Moz Pro. I was looking through the ranking data/graph for February and March. It won't let me look before February 29th (so that's why I think my boss started the Mos Pro subscription around at that time). On that day it said we ranked 12 keywords in the 1-3 spot, and then the following week (march 7) it went down to 6. I don't think or know if any major site changes were implemented, so I'm not sure why that happened and if it has anything to do with my title tag changes I did maybe a week or two before (again I am not sure when I did this unfortunately). Since then the keyword ranking numbers stayed about the same with organic traffic slowly going down (it could be because we are getting out of season for our industry though). The second week of March the site was upgraded and since then the menu has been completely changed around. Last week I did a site wide title tag change. So the minor changes I made in February are no longer in effect anyway. I added more keywords to Moz earlier this week and the number for 1-3 spot keywords went up from 6 to 20. It also says my ranking moved up 4 keywords and down 13 keywords. Anyway, I am wondering how seriously I should take these changes and if I'm damaging the site. I am new to Moz Pro also so all the data you can access is kind of confusing/overwhelming.

Crawlers crawl weird long urls
I did a crawl start for the first time and i get many errors, but the weird fact is that the crawler tracks duplicate long, not existing urls. For example (to be clear): there is a page: www.website.com/dogs/dog.html but then it is continuing crawling:
Moz Pro | | r.nijkamp
www.website.com/dogs/dog.html
www.website.com/dogs/dogs/dog.html
www.website.com/dogs/dogs/dogs/dog.html
www.website.com/dogs/dogs/dogs/dogs/dog.html
www.website.com/dogs/dogs/dogs/dogs/dogs/dog.html what can I do about this? Screaming Frog gave me the same issue, so I know it's something with my website0 -
Percentage of good links vs. bad
Hi Does anyone know the best way of determining good links from bad links using the SEO Moz tools? I bought some directory links to two or three pages on my site a few years back. The were all very obviously spammy because of the anchor text and I didn't have a high enough ratio of good links to counteract them. I read somewhere that if more than 10% of the links to a page have the same (or similar) anchor text, it's obvious that you're on the bad list.

How do you check the outbound links of a site?
There are great tools like http://www.opensiteexplorer.org that will tell you all about the inbound links. What about the more basic and easier question: What outgoing links does this site have?
