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!

Unsolved Google results linking domains
When I check the linking domains of a root domain, a lot of Google results from other countries appear. Does this mean all of these domains are linking to my root domain? Can anybody explain this and tell me if this can be seen as spam or not? linking-domain-moz.png

What steps should I follow after submitting disavow link list?
Hey Moz Team, This is Devesh Srivastava, you can call me Dev.
Link Explorer | | nikh26
Recently there was an update from your side and that was pretty good. I have analyzed model factors regarding Moz 2.0. Though my DA score has been down to 36 from 52, I would still say that an update was really necessary. I have some questions which require some clarification or you can say a proper solution.
As of now, I have removed all the Spam links which were coming to my website (https://edugorilla.com) and I have submitted the disavow list to GSC but I would like to know how should I begin my link building strategy keep everything in mind. And now that, I have removed those spam links how would Moz or how should I tell Moz or Google that those have been removed so how soon can I get back to my previous DA score? I am very much confused with the link building strategy now. What steps should I follow after submitting a disavow list and would Moz stats will change after Google Disavowing those links? Can anyone answer my question?1 -
The New Link Explorer (which will replace Open Site Explorer) is Now in Beta
Howdy Moz friends, Today, the Moz team is making a new tool -- Link Explorer -- available in private beta for Moz Pro subscribers (including those taking a free trial). The tool is still a little ways out from public launch, but we wanted to get your feedback to help make it the best product it can be. What's Link Explorer? In essence, it's a replacement for Open Site Explorer (Moz's tool for link discovery, competitive analysis, and link building) that addresses many of its most pernicious challenges, such as: Daily updates - no longer will you need to wait a month or two to see a new DA score or the links you built last week. Link Explorer updates every 24 hours with all the new links we've discovered that day, and gives a new DA score each night. A MUCH bigger index - OSE has always been known for having quality links, but quantity has been an issue. No longer. The new tool's link index is more than 20 times larger than Open Site Explorer's, covering trillions of links across hundreds of billions of pages, while maintaining a focus on high quality domains and pages. Additional functionality - new graphs (like link growth over time), new charts (like gained+lost links), new filters and sorts, and some new kinds of data coming soon. Improved metrics - Domain Authority and Page Authority have both been upgraded to have better correlations with Google's rankings (and they now update every 24 hours) Insanely fast - page load times on the new tool are almost as fast as Google's results 🙂 Less time waiting means more time to dig into results Link Tracking Lists - check a box next to any links of interest and you can build lists in the tool to track them over time, see whether/when they link, prioritize your outreach efforts, and (in the future) get aggregated data and alerts about those links There's much more to come, but we'd love for you to check out Link Explorer, find bugs, report things you love (and don't), and help us make it the best possible product for you and your teams. You can leave feedback here in this Q+A thread, email help@moz.com, or send feedback through the feedback form in Link Explorer.

Why are no-follow links in my blog comments across the web showing up as "equity-passing"?
When I make comments on blog posts (and there's a link in my comment or my name is the link to my site), the links are always no-follow (as they should be). But, when I check Open Site Explorer, the new links show up as equity-passing. Are they actually passing equity or is this a mistake?
