Why still the moz index showing "Next Update on August 26, 2013"?

[Bala_K]

I have been waiting to see the updated authority metrics from Opensiteexplorer.org.

But still it is showing old data. and showing "next index update: August 26, 2013"  as the date is 27th August today.

Is there any delay in update?

And we've updated! Thanks again for your patience everyone.

Last time this happened, we went about 2 months without an update. I remember because I had been recommending SEOMoz memberships to a lot of my clients who wanted more in-depth info about their links & competitors that they could take with them when they no longer need me. I had some 'splaining to do when some of them discovered one of the key features they were paying for wasn't there.  When MozScape did finally update, it was indeed much better than before. So I am very curious to see if this update with that "new section of the internet that we never crawled before" closes the gap between some of the other link monitors (that do have way too many of the garbage links in their indexes).

It looks like we will be releasing the index this afternoon. We'll keep you posted!

Any update yet?

We apologize for the delay. We encountered some unexpected difficulties, but we hope to be able to release this index in the next day. We will know more in the next 3-4 hours, and I will update this post as I have more information.

The last Mozscape index update was 7/11/2013. In August, they put this up:

"Dreadfully sorry, but we've decided to not release our most recent Mozscape Index, since it was not up to our quality standards which we measure with index correlations.

Why did this happen?

Our scheduling algorithm always tries to add new URLs to the schedule to make sure we expand our coverage over time. Unfortunately it seems to have hit a new section of the internet that we never crawled before. This resulted in a huge set of new URLs that seem to be of low quality, and the this has skewed the rankings slightly (a little more than we are comfortable with). Large domains seemed to be most impacted and showed a marked decrease in external links.

What do we plan to do now?

We are attacking this from multiple angles:

1. We are removing the new "section" and emphasizing the crawl of high-quality domains.
2. We've added additional monitoring to alert the BigData team when the schedule becomes imbalanced and does not display its normal characteristics.
3. We moved a quality check to earlier in the index generation cycle so we can discover problems quicker.
4. Finally, we created a new schedule of high quality and are re-crawling.

When can you anticipate the next index release?

August 26, 2013"

However the Just-Discovered Links beta is working fine. On the other hand,  The G+, FB Sharing counts been increased rather than authority metrics.

Also wondering this myself.  Has there even been an update in awhile? My site that has been up since April is still showing 3 backlinks while we have a lot more than that..
