Are Just Discovered Links Reports Working?
-
I can't find my 4 month old site in Open Site Explorer. But as the site has had all of its posts tweeted I checked the Just Discovered Links reports to see if it was mentioned there.
My domain is http://www.genesisclub.training but the problem is that if I target "this root domain" - I get a bunch of links that are nothing to do with my site.
For example the root domain report includes sites linking to
- www.tinmagpie.training
- www.goahead.training
- powerquery.training
- http://videoproduction.training
- http://www.eti.training
- http://linkedinsales.training
and more, as sites linking to my root domain. In which universe? The Just Discovered algorithm looks like it isn't coping with the .training TLD. It is treating my domain as if it were genesisclub.training.com so now anything.training is in my root domain.

Thank you. Any idea how long this will take? It can't be all that hard to do, to at least add the ones currently say available on Namecheap to buy?

Hi Elizabeth!
As you supposed, this issue is stemming from the fact that our system doesn't include the ".training" TLD. This is a bit of a tricky one because people could theoretically create any TLD imaginable (".cyclops" is one that I've been coveting for a while), but these have to be explicitly defined within our system; there is no catch-all set up to know what is or isn't a TLD unless we specifically declare it within our index.With that being said, I've sent over a request to have it included for the future :). I hope this helps to explain!

Thanks for getting back to me, but I probably didn't explain myself properly. In fact re-reading it I really didn't.
I can find the site in OSE but it says my DA and PA are 1 when I thought it should be a little more than that. So that is one problem and I don't know how to improve it other than to wait.
But there is a second problem which is not to do with my site but with the MOZ software.
I looked in the Just Discovered reports to see if I could find anything there. It looks like they do not take the new TLDS or at least the one I am using into account.They are reporting that I have incoming links that I do not have as they are counting incoming links to other people's sites on a report about my site. I hope that what I am saying is clear.

Hi Elizabeth
How do you mean you can't find your site in OSE? I am finding it. Could you elaborate a bit more?
I put your site through Majestic - it says that you have about 47 backlinks overall, none of which come from the links you listed above.
What I would do is compile backlink data from various sources, including OSE, Majestic, Ahrefs, and Google Webmaster Tools. I would see what links you want to reach out to have removed or disavowed - especially if they are spammy or irrelevant to your site. I would then take advantage of low hanging fruit link building opportunities that are beneficial to your site and business.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Just Discovered Links not appearing in main index
Hi Around October, November (and ongoing since then) we had some links appear in the "just discovered" index of OSE, and yet they've never made it into the main list of domains linking to the website. We have amassed quite a few links from various domains that seem to get picked up in "Just Discovered", but not by the standard list of links to our site Is there any reason for this?

Does Open Site Explorer recognise nofollow links?
In the backlink profile for my site on OSE, I'm seeing a lot of links that are paid advetorials and I know go through DoubleClick. I was informed that links going through Doubleclick automatically become NoFollow links. If the above is true, should I ignore these links? If they are NoFollow, they don't really contribute to my backlink profile? THANKS!

Unable to download OSE advanced report
I started downloading an OSE advanced report yesterday. It has been over 20 hours and the message below is shown on my report list page. Processing Getting data from the LSAPI. 27,450 out of 100k results found It takes a very long time than usual so I would like to know if there is currently any technical issue on Moz part, or that I should change any setting and try downloading it from the start. Thank you very much.
