How much time does it take for OSE to recognize backlinks?
-
Hi,
We've ramped up our PR since 2-3 weeks and have been mentioned in a lot of publications including a big name like Forbes. But the OSE moz tool still shows zero backlinks to our domain.
How much time does it take for it to get updated? Do I have to do something manually to make it happen?
Please let me know -
My pleasure Imran! Glad you found my response useful
My best advice here would be to NOT spend much (if any) of your time worrying about DA/PA. You will quickly drive yourself crazy doing so. Similar to watching your rankings from day to day, right? You will end up going bananas over it, for nothing. Not to say that you shouldn't be aware and check in on them front time to time but... you get it.
To answer your question, although the amount of traffic the article receives will help readers find the link back to your web page, I don't believe it will have any effect on the link being indexed. However, the backlinks that article earns over time will most certainly help. Share that article and get the word out! Congrats on the publication, great stuff!!

Thanks Bryan.
One more question. Does it also depend on how much traffic flows through that link?
https://www.forbes.com/sites/chynes/2017/05/30/how-crowdfunding-is-opening-doors-for-women-entrepreneurs-in-hong-kong-and-beyond/3/#3252f2606d1d
This is the Forbes article I was talking about. Is there also chance that without enough traffic flowing, the backlink never gets recognized? -
Hey Imran!
From what I've experienced and been told by Moz, it can take up to two months for new links to appear in OSE. This is due to the way their crawls are scheduled.
But to answer your question, your links should show up within two months unless anything new has changed with the way Moz crawls the web. Hope this helps!!

DA of my site is not increasing. It seems like Moz is not indexing my backlinks. Multiple backlinks of my site [ Tech Spotty ] is not indexing in Moz that is why DA is not increasing.

Fastest way to get new backlinks recognised by Moz?
Hi all, I have seen a few discussions / advice pieces around this, but wondered what the current view is on the fastest way to get new backlinks recognised by Moz? I have seen people say that the content needs to be shared (e.g. on Twitter), and advice around creating Bitly links. I am not convinced that these techniques are working. On a related note, my website is very large. I have around 2.5m pages. Most of these pages are 3-4 clicks from the home page, but I have a small amount of important content much higher up in the site (1-2 clicks from the home page). Does Moz crawl pages nearer the home page more frequently, or does it make a pass of all pages on the site before it starts at the beginning again? If it makes a complete pass of all pages, then presumably making my site smaller will help to get Moz to see new content more quickly? Is there any other value to be gained in making a large site smaller? Many thanks in advance, Neil.

OSE not picking up all internal links?
Hi! I've been checking a few pages in OSE. For example: https://www.holidayhypermarket.co.uk/holidays/last-minute This, according to the tool, has only 6 internal links. However, a Screaming Frog crawl picks up 700+, which is about right seeing as there is a link in the footer. What do you think could be behind the discrepancy?

Why does OSE redirect to another url when the url you're testing doesn't redirect in your browser?
Run an OSE report on www.schoolmatters.com/ca/san-diego/personal-injury-lawyer/. OSE redirects to brandingwithseo.com. Why? And if you go to brandingwithseo.com in your browser, it redirects to seocompany.org. Why is OSE redirecting? It appears the links that come up are a combination of links for the seo company and for schoolmatters.com.

Backlink profile not current
How often are the backlink profiles updated? I'm researching competitor backlinks to add to our own link profile but it doesn't seem like not all the links are current. So how am I supposed to know which links are current and which have been erased? Can anyone please guide me though using the advanced filters CSV reports? I requested a report and got a blank excel spreadsheet. Please give me an example of what kind of things I should be searching for.
