Updating OSE data
-
Hello Moz,
I was wondering if anyone knows how Moz goes about updating their OSE data? I've been doing some link building that past couple of weeks, and I notice that the number of "just discovered" links will update every time I gain a new link, however, the "Linking domains" number doesn't (or maybe, rarely) update. I've checked through the "Linking domains" list to see if the link is there, but none of the links I've just recently obtained have shown up under that metric.
Does anyone have any insight on this or is anyone experiencing the same issue? Thanks for reading!

Thanks Joel! I've bookmarked the Mozscape API Update page. That helps a lot.
Cheers!

Hey Gerard,
Thanks for the question. OSE actually uses data from the Mozscape index which is updated fairly regularly (and getting more frequent). It can take a month or more for your link building activity to be represented, but we do try to update as quickly as possible.
You can read more about OSE here: http://moz.com/help/guides/research-tools/open-site-explorer and read about our index updates here: http://moz.com/products/api/updates
Thanks!
Joel.

Backlinks dropped in OSE
Hi Webmaster, I just checked my website backlinks In MOZ OSE (Open Sire Explorer) tool, from the recent report history, I took the following details, June 29,2014 - 775 links
Link Explorer | | zco_seo
Aug 13,2014 - 783 links
Apr 06,2015 - 861 links
Aug 10,2015 - 880 links
Sep 16,2015 - 880 links
Feb 16,2016 - 569 links
Mar 03,2016 - 672 links
Mar 23,2016 - 55 links (Only coming from blog comments, also different targeted pages, I just removed few blog & forum links, that was around 100 only) Is there any tool issue? But In Google search Console (Google Webmasters Tool) it was saying more backlinks. But, at the same time, I checked my competitors website too, they were having more links with target page only. If anyone know the answer for this, it will be good for us. Thanks in advance,
Cheers,

OSE Stats - Number of Unique C IP's and PA/DA keep going up and down. Why?
For the past 3 months (if not more) I have been checking my sites stats on OSE and have noticed drastic decreases and increases in unique C-IP's, ranging from 600 to 1200. I have also noticed the PA & DA going up and down by 5 points. We have a talented team that work hard to market our business ethically with strong content and PR relationships, white-hat link building all the way, active social media and a dedicated on-site technical team. The data from MajesticSEO seems to be a lot more steady and consistent. Why is OSE showing drastic changes in 1 to 2 week intervals? Many thanks Ross
