OpenSite Explorer
-
Hello Moz World,
Does anyone know how long it takes Moz's OpenSite Explorer to recognise / index back links?
I have generated a number of back links for pages in the last 7 days (not "no-follow") and they are not yet showing up?
Any advise would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
Ben

Martin,
Thank you for the reply, that sounds great. It seemed like the most recent index came a few weeks early (was listed as Oct 1st) and the next one is scheduled about a month out which seems like forever when you're trying to see what progress you've made, but as you mentioned, it is a ton of data to sort through on your end so definitely understand the challenges. Will be great if the next update allows for index updates on a more frequent basis and additional insights, definitely looking forward to it. Thanks again.

Hi Kyle,
I am the manager of the Big Data team at Moz. Currently the system we use has a cycle time of approx 4 weeks. This pulls together all the data we have seen in the previous 100 days of crawling (approx 170 Million Domains where we see136 Billion Links) as you can imagine index and sorting these links can take some time.
We are currently working on a major update (to be released early next year) to our systems where we will move to an incremental model were updates are applied to the index on a much more timely manner. We also plan to incorporate some form of data visualization about how often and how much of a user site will be crawled so that our customers can get some in-site into when they will see updates.
I hope that helps.
Martin.

Even after the most recent index update I didn't see some of the links I have built show up. So far it seems to take about a month for new links to show up but they appear in Google Webmaster tools much sooner. Hopefully if the Moz Index updates more frequently in the future these links will appear much faster. Good luck with your link building efforts.

That's a great help thank you. Much appreciated for your quick reply.

Hi Ben
OSE and the Moz index runs on scheduled updates. You can check when it was last updated and when the next update will happen right here.
You can see the last update was 3 weeks ago, with the next update on the 1st Oct. Hence why you're links aren't showing yet.
Moz is working hard on making the updates more regular and in the past have had them every week or fortnight, so hopefully it'll get back to there soon.
Hope this helps.

URL column of Link Explorer reports do not have the protocol (http or https)
I exported from Link Explorer. In the URL column, there is no protocol for each URL. Isn't the protocol part of what makes a url? I'm crawling each with http:// and https:// but it feels like this info could just be in the report. Am I missing a step?

Can I use the keyword explorer to find negative keywords?We focus on a few things in our business that we focus on but the feedback that I get from the tool is not helpful
All in all,this business focuses in a very small area,and there are things that others in our business do that we do not.Yes,a guy that knows nothing about SEO... This is a junk removal business,and some of the competition do everything.This is a small outfit that only hauls junk.Much of the competition that we have sells junk bins,we do not.We just haul junk..we do not paint,or any of the things that they do. I just keep getting things sent to me me in my list here about bin sales etc,and it is making impossible to search for keywords without a way to manage what is coming in some way..Google let me do this,but I am just hoping to use this tool entirely if I am going to pay for it.Maybe I am lost being new,and confused. How can I use this tool? Are there any settings,or anything that you can teach a non SEO minded guy like me? Thanks

Open Site Explorer - Just Discovered Inbound Links
Hello Moz Forum, Thanks in advance for any help. My website was recently featured in a bunch of high DA journals and magazines. I don't see the inbound links on the open site explorer, but I do see them in recently discovered. My website's Domain Authority hasn't changed a wink. How long does it take, typically to see the recently discovered links under the inbound links portion? Thanks! j1pqVRt

Open Site Explorer Question
Hello Mozers. It has been a while 🙂 OK - I run an open site explorer report, toggle over to 'Linking Domains' because I am more interested in the number of actual websites that link to my client rather than the number of links my client has (and of course what websites are linking) and although I have been doing this for years there is one little thing I am a bit confused about. The report shows (from left to right) the 'Linking Root Domain", the "Domain Authority" for the linking domain and then the 'Number of Linking Root Domains" for each 'Linking Root Domain" My question is (rather stupid, I am sure) is the number of linking root domains for each linking root domain the number of websites linking to them OR the number of websites to which they link?
