Backlink profile from Open Site Explorer does not seem to update
-
I have been monitoring our backlink profile on Open Site for over a year now and despite getting a number of new domains linking to us they are not reflected in the tool.
Our URL is: www.BlueLinkERP.com
Any thoughts on why this might be the case?
The number of linking domains also seems very low compared with other tools we use (i.e. HubSpot)

Hi David,
That's got to be disappointing! There are a few different things that could be going on, either with our crawler or the links themselves, that might be causing them not to be picked up by OSE. Without knowing what the links are, it's difficult to diagnose what the issue might be. Could you please send us an email to help@moz.com with some examples of the links you're seeing that aren't showing up in OSE? We'd love to get this resolved for you.

A wide variety. We've done some guest blogging, create new profiles on sites etc. HubSpot has been picking up on the new domains but not OSE for some reason.

What kind of sites are you getting the links from? OSE generally runs a few months behind, but not that much.

Identifying bad backlinks
We were recently approached by a SEO agency saying that we had a bunch of very toxic links. They wanted to do the work for us but we've decided to keep costs down and keep it in-house. I've downloaded a list of the links to our site from Google Webmaster Tools and am now manually going through each link to find the links we want removed/disavowed. What is the best way to judge the links? Please note: I have limited resources. I'm using a combination of my gut and SEO Moz's Domain Authority. If the site or directory is irrelevant and has a low Domain Authority I put the link in the remove pile. If I come across a directory that doesn't seem too bad and it has a reasonable Domain Authority I leave the link. Am I doing enough?

Why isn't Ranking Updated?
I see that my rankings are not updated. Why is that so? Do we have to do something else for ranking to update or is it automatic? It's said that ranking updates every tuesday. Also when does the next Linkscape update take place? JGHjA.png

Is there any alternatives to Yahoo Site Explorer?
Hi, Is there any alternatives to Yahoo Site Explorer? I want to find backlinks of some unavailable pages and YSE was a great tool to deal with. But when I used tools like Open Site Explorer, ahrefs.com etc., I couldn't find one same like YSE. Because when I tried, it shows'No data available for this URL' where on YSE I found inbound links. What Alternatives Are There? thanks in advance!
