Dates on Opensite Explorer?
-
Hi All,
I was wondering if there is any chance of getting dates out of OpenSiteExplorer, either via the API or the web menu.
This would be hugely useful for competitor research to see how strategies were shifting over time, etc, and I can't imagine it would be that difficult on the development end: just time stamp when writting a new link/domain to the database.
Any chance I am missing this, or getting this?

Hi Brad,
Yeah, GWMT is great for domains I control, but having this for competitor domains would be fantastic.
Thanks!

It's probably something that the Moz dev team can look into. I know that GWMT keeps track of when they first crawled a new link to your site, and you get get it by exporting your list of links.

Thanks, Brad,
Thats useful. So then the logic would be:
- If the link already exists in the database import the old crawl date
- else, input the current date
That would be, I would think, pretty simple from a development standpoint and make for (in my opinion) much more robust intelligence, allowing you to look at how link velocity and strategy evolve over time, sort for new prospects, etc.
Does it seem useful to anyone else?

My understanding is that the Mozscape index is unique every time it's generated. Each time a new index comes out, it is a new craw of your inbound links, and the old index is trashed. At MozCon, it was alluded to that the development team was looking into ways of determining which pages are updated less frequently, and re-crawling those pages less often - allowing the Mozscape index to complete faster and use less resources.
In short - everything you see in OSE was crawled recently (in the 30 days leading up to the last index update).

Unsolved Api limits on free plan
Good afternoon. I tried connecting free access to api https://moz.com/help/links-api/v1-archive/v1-free-api-access to retrieve DA data. After several requests to the api I got a message: "Your monthly row limit reached" Can you tell me what this error is related to? Or Moz doesn't have free api access anymore?

New to the SEO world
Hello, I am new to the SEO world though I realize it's importance when trying to make your site noticed. I am working with a shopping cart (Pinnacle Cart) and It has the fields to put in the data such as the meta tags, description keywords and whatnot. My problem is that I do not know how to use MOZ to strategize what keywords to use and how to populate them to the Google search engine. That said, someone told me that Descriptions for Section pages are far more important than keywords. Can anyone help or give me some insight on how to start this process? Once I have it all running, about how long will it take to propagate through Google? Thanks!
