      Google redirect backlink created. Do I have to ping this for Moz to recognize it?

        When you create a Google redirect backlink, it's not necessary to ping it for Moz to recognize it. Moz's web crawlers will eventually discover and index the backlink as they crawl the web. However, pinging the backlink might expedite the process of discovery, especially if you want Moz to recognize it quickly.

        Pinging refers to notifying search engines or other web services about new content or changes on your website. While it's not mandatory for Moz to recognize backlinks, it can be a proactive step to ensure that the backlink is indexed promptly.

        To ping the backlink, you can use various online ping services or tools that notify search engines about new URLs. Additionally, you can submit the URL directly to Moz using their Link Explorer tool, which allows you to analyze backlinks and track their performance.

        Keep in mind that while pinging the backlink may help speed up the indexing process, it's just one of many factors that influence how quickly search engines and tools like Moz discover and index new links. Other factors such as the authority of the linking site, the frequency of crawls, and the relevance of the content also play a role in determining when the backlink will be recognized.

          Yes, it's a good idea to ping the backlink to help Moz recognize it faster. Pinging can expedite the indexing process and improve the visibility of the backlink in Moz's metrics.

            Pinging the backlink might help Moz recognize it faster, but it's not always necessary. Moz typically discovers backlinks through its web crawler. However, if you're looking for quicker recognition, pinging could be worth a try. Keep monitoring your backlink profile for updates.

              Modern search engines like Google, Bing, and Baidu constantly crawl the web and discover new content, including backlinks, through various methods. Pinging a backlink won't significantly impact this process.
              Tools like Moz rely on their own sophisticated algorithms and data sources to discover and track backlinks. Manually pinging them usually isn't necessary.

                  Pinging a backlink is not typically necessary for search engines or tools like Moz to recognize it. Search engines, including Google, have sophisticated algorithms that automatically discover and index new content, including backlinks. They regularly crawl the web to update their databases.

                  However, if you've created a new backlink and want to expedite the indexing process, you can manually submit the URL to the Google Search Console. This can help Google discover and index the backlink faster.

                  As for Moz, their crawler, known as Rogerbot, operates independently of Google's indexing process. Moz will discover and update its index of backlinks during its own crawling and updating schedule. There's generally no need to ping backlinks explicitly for Moz to recognize them.

                  In summary, while pinging might not be necessary for Google or Moz to recognize a backlink, manually submitting the URL to the Google Search Console can be a proactive step to ensure quicker indexing by Google.

                          @dlwnsh0510 <<<<< First of all. You are an idiot and do not belong on this MOZ forum or the entire internet. Please throw away all your computing devices and then paint the word (Idiot Spammer) on your head.

                          So. it would seem you are just wanting to cheat the MOZ DA ranking system by ceating a fake DA score using redirect notices.

                          This is only done by scammers and fools who don't understand how SEO or internet metrics actually works.

                          Are you aware that by doing what you are doing you causing a great deal of harm to the website? Most people understand now fake MOZ DA scores and how to see them. Also, doing this makes the resale value of the domain drop down to $0 dollars. It will kill all its worth because everyone knows its a fake domain with a fake DA score.

                          I suggest you learn about real link building that actually works for SEO instead of using junk worthless redirect notices to fake the DA score.

                          In case you really are that stupid. Allow me to educate you. The redirect notices that you are trying to create DO NOT have any effect on SEO, rankings or traffic. It only causes a fake MOZ DA score to show. Your true DA will still organically be ZERO you fool.

                          Please, as I said before. Through away your computer, laptop and mobile phone. You are too stupid and don't deserve to be blessed with technology after thinking cheating and shortcuts are the best way to use it.

                          Now buzz off and wither away quietly in some dark corner of the earth.

                            No, you don't necessarily have to ping backlinks for Moz or any other search engine optimization (SEO) tool to recognize them. Most modern search engines, including Moz, regularly crawl and index the web to discover new links and update their databases.

                            However, if you want to ensure that search engines discover your new backlinks quickly, you can take the following steps:

                            Submit your sitemap: Make sure your website has a sitemap and submit it to major search engines like Google and Bing. This can help search engines find and index your new pages and backlinks more efficiently.

                            Social media sharing: Share your content on social media platforms. Search engines often crawl social media sites, and sharing your content there can help in quicker indexing.

                            Quality content: Create high-quality and relevant content. Search engines are more likely to crawl and index pages with valuable content.

                            Fetch as Google: If you use Google Search Console, you can use the "Fetch as Google" feature to manually request indexing for specific pages.

                            Pinging backlinks is a practice that was more common in the past, but search engines have evolved, and the need for manual pinging has diminished. The best approach is to focus on creating quality content, ensuring your website is well-structured and easily crawlable, and leveraging tools like Google Search Console for monitoring and managing your site's presence in search results.

                              Google redirect backlink created. Do I have to ping this for Moz to recognize it?

                              You don't necessarily need to ping backlinks for Moz or other search engines to recognize them. Search engines have sophisticated crawling mechanisms that regularly discover and index new content, including backlinks. However, if you want to expedite the process and ensure that the backlink is noticed sooner, you can take the following steps:

                              Fetch as Google (Google Search Console):

                              Use the "Fetch as Google" tool in Google Search Console. This tool allows you to submit URLs directly to Google for crawling.
                              Submit Sitemap:

                              Ensure that your website's sitemap is updated and contains the URL with the new backlink. Submit the sitemap to Google Search Console.
                              Social Media Sharing:

                              Share the page containing the backlink on your social media platforms. Search engines often crawl social media sites frequently.
                              Ping Services:

                              While it's not a guarantee, you can use ping services like Ping-O-Matic or Google Ping to notify search engines about updates on your site.
                              Internal Linking:

                              Create an internal link from another page on your website to the page with the new backlink. Internal linking can help search engines discover and crawl pages more efficiently.
                              Monitor with Moz:

                              Keep an eye on your Moz account to see if the backlink is eventually discovered and included in your link profile. Moz, like other SEO tools, regularly updates its database.

                                  Unsolved Moz doesn't find backlinks for months / link tracking list offline

                                  link tracking list link explorer backlinks domain authority

                                  Hi there
                                  I want to share a big problem with you. Moz tracking list seems to be offline or having trouble finding links. I have an example:
                                  The page where the backlink has been placed was created months ago. As you can see on the picture:
                                  Link to the page is http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/profile/tableauxdumonde
                                  Backlink on that page is https://ggongtime.com/ Picture shows clearly that the page of backlink (Microsoft) has been indexed and already has got it's own backlinks in Moz (8) but it is still not linking to the backlink website (ggongtime.com).
                                  I've also attached a picture of page source where you can clearly see that it is a html link and is dofollow.
                                  The problem remains since 3 months and I want to find out what is going on. This Microsoft page is one of example. There are hundreds of other pages being found, or not, and are still not showing up in Link Explorer on website's portfolio.
                                  I want to know if there is a technical problem with link explorer, or anything else, because this is a serious problem for me. moz problem.png

                                  moz link explorer

                                  Hi.. I need to check backlinks for one of my client website duplicatebills through Moz Pro link explorer tool then its show that linking domain to this website are 90 but when i cross check these links from other tools like Ahref free backlinking tool then its show a different figure (ahref show that linking domain to this website are 103).
                                  I am confused that which one correct. And MOZ link explorer tools in reliable to which extent?

                                  How do I find http backlinks to my domain?

                                  backlinks http

                                  Hi, We spotted a number of sites linking to us from http sites, not https sites. How can I use backlink tools to find just those from http sites? Right now I'm looking at exporting a spreadsheet with 3.3 million entries and filtering - and there's not one person here who wants to do that! Thanks in advance.

                                  How is Moz DA affected by spam links? Disavow file?

                                  So it does not appear that moz let's you upload your disavow file.  So when moz calculates your DA how do spammy links factor in? After digging through our GA it appears our site was hit with the 2016 penguin update and never recovered.  Our weekly visitors were 2k, then dropped to 500 and have stayed close to that level for a while. We've used the disavow tool, without success over the past 3 years.  During that time we have done link out reach and built around 10 legit good quality DA links since.  But we have not recovered.  At this point i'm thinking I should just remove the disavow file. Moz says our spam score for our domain is 5%.

                                  Moz's new Link Explorer, including our revamped index and DA/PA scores is now open to everyone!

                                  Hey Moz Community, Link Explorer is now open to the public! Everyone can access it via a subscription or a free Moz ‘Community’ account. As you may know by now, the brand-new Link Explorer tool is primed to replace Open Site Explorer as Moz’s link building and analysis tool. The Link Explorer project is the result of an incredible amount of perseverance and hard work by the team, and we’re proud to be able to finally share it with you — we know it’s going to revolutionize how you approach link building and make your job easier. You can read more about the tool here in Sarah Bird’s announcement post. Because Link Explorer improves on almost every aspect of Open Site Explorer, the metrics have improved, too. That means you’re likely going to see some Domain Authority and Page Authority discrepancies between OSE’s index and Link Explorer’s index. We definitely suggest you use the new DA/PA from Link Explorer, as they’re more accurate and refresh daily rather than monthly, as was the case with OSE’s index. However, we also realize that many of you use these metrics to report to your clients and colleagues, and a sudden change or fluctuation could potentially make your job harder. Which DA is the real DA? The new DA is based on a much larger index that has many improvements, several of which are designed to make the index more like Google’s than ever before. You should consider moving towards the new DA (and the old DA won’t be updated after April 26th 2018, so the sooner the better). While there will be fluctuations as we improve the model and add features to the index, we expect it to remain largely stable and to be a far more accurate picture of a site’s authority according to how it’s seen by Google. Why is Link Explorer’s DA/PA considered better than OSE’s, and which should I trust? The larger link index with improved crawl selection allows us to produce a stronger model that includes a much larger proportion of the web. That being said, DA and PA should always be considered in the context of your competitors. A drop in PA or DA relative to the old OSE is of little concern if your competitors saw similar movement. Is Domain Authority/Page Authority an absolute score or a relative one? Both DA and PA are relative to the Internet as a whole. If Facebook acquired a billion new links, everyone’s PA and DA would drop relative to Facebook. Because of this, it’s always best to look at PA and DA in comparison to your competitors. What does a drop/raise in DA mean in Link Explorer vs OSE? How can I explain this to my clients when I’m reporting it? DA and PA should always be considered in the context of your competitors. A drop or raise in PA or DA relative to the old OSE is of little concern if your competitors saw similar movement. Reporting that your site has moved from a DA of 45 to a DA of 42 doesn’t tell the whole story, but reporting that your site has a DA of 42 while your main competitor moved from a 43 to a 37 shows that, relative to the sites you’re competing against in the SERPs, your site has significantly more authority and ranking power. What’s happening to MozTrust and MozRank and why, and what should I replace those with? The improvements to our DA/PA and Spam Score metrics now now account for more important nuances in helping you determine one site’s ability to rank higher than another. Because they no longer correlate with Google’s ranking model as well as they used to, MozRank and MozTrust are being deprecated for better metrics. Users should rely on Page Authority, Domain Authority, and Spam Score to determine the importance and quality of pages, domains, and links. I have historical data I use to help my clients benchmark their progress. What do I do now that DA is calculated differently? You should annotate any KPI changes referencing the change in DA and PA. However, most importantly, you should compare those changes to your competitors, as this will best show how strong your site’s authority is relative to the sites you’re competing against in the SERPs. We take updating our metrics very seriously, and our last major update to the model was 7 years ago. Users of Domain Authority and Page Authority can expect us to continue to produce steady, reliable metrics for the long haul, and only make changes to these metrics when we believe the benefits dramatically outweigh the stability of the metric. Do you have any questions about the new metrics? Anticipating a tough time reporting changes to clients or bosses? Metrics, features or functionality missing that you would want to see? Let us know in the thread, and we’ll work to find a good answer for you. Hope you enjoy the new Link Explorer product and the amazing new link index powering it. We are very excited to provide this valuable data to our community and customers.
