Open Site Explorer does not show my website backlinks
-
My website URL - packforcity.com
I have backlinks from pinterest, flickr, yahoo, etc. but open site explorer does not show any in backlinks.
my pinterest PA is 47.??? any suggestions why it does not show in backlinks?

it is not just about links from social media that OSE fails to show, there is whole a lot of links from elsewhere, and it has got nothing to do with a "no follow" link from social media as you can get to select which back links you want to see in OSE

Hi Varun,
Open Site Explorer doesn't list every single link pointing your site. Moz crawls a ton of pages, but it's only a fraction of what Google is capable of. So even if OSE doesn't show it, I'm sure Google knows about it.
OSE typically doesn't show social profile links. I would imagine that this is because the Moz development team decided to devote their crawling resources to other areas of the internet. In general, most links to your website from social profiles will have a 'nofollow" tag anyway, so they won't be contributing much to the strength of your site.
Hope this clears things up.

Internal Equity-Passing Links not getting crawled in Moz Open Site Explorer?
Internal Equity-Passing Links not getting crawled in Moz Open Site Explorer. What is the cause of this? We've checked the robots.txt and htaccess file, but so far we can't find anything that would be blocking Moz from crawling the internal links. We manage loads of other clients on this platform and this is the first time we've run into this issue. What else can I check?

OnPage Grader double counting keywords on responsive site (hidden vs visible)
FYI - it appears that if you have a responsive site that has blocks of text that are duplicated, but Hidden or Visible depending on the screen width, that On-Page Grader will count any keywords in that text twice. I have text shown in one location to Desktop users that needed to be re-located to a different part of the page for Tablet and Phone users to keep the layout nice. And my OP Grader keyword count doesn't match what I saw on the page doing Ctrl-F to find the keywords, unless you count the Hidden text. (not hidden like cloaking or some black hat thing - just not displayed on certain devices) I guess On Page Grader just reads the source code and ignores whether the text is hidden or visible. It would be nice if it read the code as if it was a Desktop device. (suggestion for Moz staff) Does anybody know if Google also ignores device dependent Hidden vs Visible areas???
