No incoming links from DMOZ in my report

[Gaolga]

Hi,

I am confused, after so much years of waiting, some months ago I got listed in the DMOZ http://www.dmoz.org/World/Español/Tiempo_libre/Turismo/Blogs/ (My blog is Charcotrip)

The problem is that when I check the incoming list in the MOZ report, the DMOZ link is totally absent, I don't get it. Does anyone knows why can this happening? (is not that my blog get recently listed, now it has been there for a while).

Thanks!

Hello Olga! Open Site Explorer pulls from our Mozscape index, which updates about once a month. You can always check our update schedule whenever you like!

Most new sites and links will be indexed by our spiders and available in Mozscape and Open Site Explorer within 60 days, but some take even longer for a variety of reasons, including the crawl-ability of sites, the amount of inbound links to them, and the depth of pages in subdirectories.

Just so you know, here's how we compile our index:

• We grab the most recent index
• We take the top 10 billion URLs with the highest MozRank (with a fixed limit on some of the larger domains)
• We start crawling from the top down until we've crawled 180,000,000,000 pages (which is about 35% the amount in Google's index)

Therefore, if the site is not linked to by one of these seed URLs (or one of the URLs linked to by them in the next update), then it won't show up in our index.

We update our Mozscape Index every 4 weeks. Crawling the entire Internet to look for links takes 2-3 weeks, but our crawlers are always collecting data. When we need to put the index together, we grab all the data they have collected and start processing, which can take up to 3 weeks to determine which of those links are the most important.

Mozscape focuses on a breadth-first approach. This means that we almost always have content from the homepage of websites, externally linked-to pages, and pages higher up in a site's information hierarchy. But deep pages that are buried beneath many layers of navigation are sometimes missed and it may be several index updates until we catch all of these.

If our crawlers or data sources are blocked from reaching those URLs, they may not be included in our index (though links that point to those pages will still be available). Finally, the URLs seen by Mozscape must be linked to by other documents on the web, or our index will not include them.

I hope this information helps! While the site and links may not be indexed yet, give it some time Thanks!

Hi

When did the link go live, it could be just that Moz hasn't crawled the page with your link on yet.

Moz crawlers are great but they have their limits and can't crawl every page on the web every day. Don't worry once Rogerbot crawls the page it will appear in the moz report.

Its just a timing issue - I would be checking Search Console to see if Google has found it, this is more important. Also I would check to see does it appear in Ahrefs or Majestic. Majestic usually finds links quicker and go deeper into the web than Moz crawlers. But realistically it should just be Google that you care has found the link.

Thanks

Andy
