Sudden surge in discovered links
-
Hi everyone,
Recently Moz discovered a lot of old backlinks to my url. Some of them don't even exist anymore. I don't understand how Moz has found these links, even if they don't exist? And why did Moz find them suddenly all at once?
Can anyone help me with this question?
Thanks!

What your business wants is quality links, and you want to build them over a very long period of time. For example, you want to get quality links, but from many different quality websites, like BBC News, but you want to get these over a long period.
We actually had a website was linking to us, sending thousands of links and this can damage your search engine optimisation if they are low quality links. Instead what you are high quality links. The links must also be relevant to your business, so we sell luxury summerhouse, so we only want links from gardening websites.

Flauctuating number of Internal Equity-Passing Links affecting DA
My site has a high number of fluctuating internal equity passing links in open site explorer from month to month, theses range from 30 000 and sometimes as high as 1,million. The fluctuations occur even when I have made no changes onsite. I have noticed that when the internal equity passing links are very high the DA drops and when they are low the DA is high, has anyone ever experienced this with open site explorer ?
