Why isn't OSE showing any of my links?
-
My domain uses a redirect of all traffic to https. The site is https://www.tallslimtees.com. I've been working on it this year and know there are several good, topical links coming in. But OSE shows nothing. Any idea why this would be the case? How can I see all of my links and the data on them?
-
yeah Majestic and others are picking them all up. OSE just doesn't.
-
hmmm... I'm not sure then. Our website is https and we have several clients with https - all of them are working fine.
Have you tried other tools? like ahrefs or majestics to see if those links you're looking for are indicated in those tools?

1. These links are on blog posts of some decent blogs. They are not buried and appear to be the content on those domains OSE would crawl.
2. Most links are quite old and would definitely have appeared by now.
3. The links are all to the https version and regardless of which version I check in OSE, nothing comes up.
4. Again, not buried, not new. At least the ones I know about.
That's what is frustrating here. OSE seems to work fine when https isn't involved, but I made the whole site https per Google guidelines, and of all my sites, this one no longer seems to show any accurate link counts with OSE. All others are in good shape. I'm sure the https is at the root of the problem but can't figure it out. Surely I'm not the only https site they crawl, right? I'm sure they have this figured out.

Hi there.
We have https website as well and I have been facing similar problems. Well, there can be several reasons:
- MOZ crawling has a limit in resources - they don't crawl every possible website and link on the internet. As it says here: basically only top websites and top pages on those websites are being crawled. That's one of the reasons you rarely see listings like yahoo in your url profile in moz ose. So, this might be the same scenario in your case.
- MOZ crawling has a schedule - it happens about every month. So, if your backlinks are indexed after last crawl date - there is no way it will appear in ose.
- The backlink is to http version of your website. It can result in moz not registering the backlink to https, but rather to http version of your site. Try running OSE for http version, see if there is any difference.
- Backlinks simply hasn't been indexed yet. If a backlink coming from the page, buried deep on deep-buried website, it will take a while for indexing.
I would recommend using other tools for backlink profiling, at least to check if backlinks you are looking for have been crawled and indexed. Even though MOZ has ose, backlink profiling is not their main field.
Hope this helps.

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
