What is the delay of link insertion in Open Site Explorer?
-
Hello,
Someone know the delay for links insertion in Open Site Explorer? Because i know my site have a lot more links who are not in OSE.
Thanks.

We're certainly working on crawling more and more deeply I'd say we'll have between 35-75% of the links that Google knows about (depending on where you're getting your links from - if it's low quality stuff, especially deep pages on spammyish pages, it's less likely).
In terms of delay in picking up new links - if you got a link today, it would likely be in the Jan. 4th index (because we're actively crawling for that index and haven't started processing). However, it's also possible that we've already crawled that part of the web in the last week or two and it wouldn't be until the next index (late January/early February).
Thus, anywhere from 20 (at the very fastest) to 60 days (at the very worst) is the speed of OSE's pickup of links.

Thanks!

I too was wondering the logistics of the update. Thanks for the info.

SEOMoz works with a calender, so you can see for yourself. When selecting Open Site Explorer from the Research Tools below on the left you'll see the last time it was updated (28th of November) and also you'll see the update Calender. Next Linkscape update (= OSE) will occur at the 4ht of January.
Furthermore don't expect all your links to be in OSE, however most of them will be. It's a great tool for comparisation and see where the competitors are getting their strength from but again it's a wish ALL your links would be in there. Hope this helps.

Redirecting dofollow, high-domain-authority links from one site to another: good idea?
I have two sites that offer help for freelance writers. The first gets almost no search traffic and is very low priority for me. The second is my main priority and gets substantial search traffic. The low-priority site has a significant number of dofollow backlinks from high-domain-authority sites. Is it a good idea to 301 redirect these links to similar/related posts on my high-priority site? Would this potentially boost the SEO of my high-priority site? Thanks for any help!

Broken Incoming Links from External Site - What to do?
Our Google Webmaster 'page not found' reports consistently show two Chinese websites that have approximately 50 broken links each to non-existent pages on our website. One site is a PR5, the other a PR1. Two of our Chinese employees have contacted the site owners (even talking with them over the phone) to discuss the errors, where the broken links live on their sites, and how to fix them. They have contacted the site owners three times in the past three months, but still the broken links have not be fixed. What do you recommend we do?

Creating your own blog for back linking to your site
Our competitor seems to be linked to a blog that they have created themselves. From an SEO perspective is it worthwhile creating a blog that is related to your particular industry and then only including links back to your site. Also is there any way to upload ,articles etc automatically to the blog to cut down on the people hours involved in updating content?

Links are still showing in Opensite explorer?
I did some link building for some friends last year, since then our relationship has changed & I removed the links I created. It's been 2 months & the links still show up in Open site explorer, & their website is still kicking butt. How long will it take for the links to be unassigned for their profile?

What is the best way to make sure competitors or others aren't buying links on my sites behalf to penalize us?
Is there a good way to do this? Does the Open Site Explorer have an ability to screen by when the link was found, or help by picking up on potentially shady links? Thanks much..

Google not providing all competitor site's external incoming links?
I heard Google is not providing all of a competitor's site's external links, speculated as protecting their privacy. But that Yaho still provides the complete list of their recognized links. (I assume they mean when using the term 'link:url') Has anyone else heard this claim? Is there a way around this check?What sources do you use at SEOMoz for your Pro reports? thanks, geo
