My Backlinks are Coming ZERO in Open SIte Explorer
-
I have made many links for my website, I checked in majestic it showed me about 40. But MOZ is showing Zero.
The last i remember I checked:
Add
noodpmeta robots tag sitewide in SEO YOAST. It said it prevents search engines from using the DMOZ description for pages from this site in the search results.Also I have a NoIndex (canonical ) on category, archive, author, tag to avoid Duplicate Data.
But when i see the source of my website, it shows <rel link="canonical">on every single page and post of website. Can this be the reason why MOZ is not showing any backlinks? </rel>

Hi Himanshu
Sorry to hear you aren't seeing you links yet in our Index. What you can do is search the sites you are building links on to see if we are crawling them and check the Just Discovered tab to see if any links are in queue. If you see links there for their site and including your own, then you can expect your links to appear in our index in the next 1-2 updates.
Hope this helps!

Just to elaborate a bit on the canonical part, people often put a canonical pointing to itself on all pages to avoid duplicate content in the case of session ids or other parameters being appended to the basic url.
This would not hurt your backlink situation, in fact it could help. If by chance there were backlinks to alternate versions of your base url, you would reclaim the link authority which would otherwise have been lost if Google dropped that page from its index seeing it as duplicate content.

The biggest probable reason Moz doesn't see any links is you didn't give it enough time. Open site explorer takes a bit of time to show links (compared to its competitors) so give it time, you can always look in majestic or ahrefs of webmaster tools.
as for the other stuff if you are unsure of anything its best not to use it but
noodp this will stop Google from using meta descriptions from DMOZ etc.
NoIndex (canonical )
these are two different tags but if they are on pages you do not want indexed that's fine.
you may see this on every page but as long as its a canonical of the page you are on it shouldn't be causing you and problems.

Link Explorer Export
Does anyone know how to export more than 50 keywords at a time from Link Explorer? I'm trying to extract the keywords from a competitor domain to do some analysis/big data queries. I'm using the link Explorer but I can't see any way to export more than 50 keywords at a time! The total I can export seems to be around 100k but it's going to take a very long time if I've got to do 50 at a ago!

GTLDs in Open Site Explorer
Curious to know if anyone has run into a similar problem - I entered a site containing a gTLD (.dog extensions) in OSE and it gave me an error (screenshot attached). I checked another tool (ahrefs.com) and was able to extract some data. Does anyone know if these type of domains are not included in OSE and/or why there was an error? Appreciate any insight!
