Moz & Other Sites Not Showing in Link Profile?
-
I'm curious to know why Moz, YouTube, G+ and some other links are not showing the OSE link profile as NOFOLLOW or DOFOLLOW for our website whiteboardcreations.com? When doing analysis, we see a lot of companies YouTube pages with their NF link and G+ page links and even see a lot of the Moz community members with their Profile pages showing the NF link or the DF links.
I'm confused as to why OSE is not picking up any of our links from those respective sites. Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance. - Patrick

That is great to hear, Keri! You are right. They are showing for Google, so ultimately, that is what is important

It could be some of each. I know it's frustrating when you don't see those links that you know are there, but the good news is that Google does see them. The good news is that we're getting indexes out there faster than we ever did before, so it's every 1-2 weeks these days instead of 4-6 weeks.

Keri, I was able to check GWT and yes, my Moz and YouTube links are showing as being indexed. I appreciate you providing that tip.
Since Moz has it's own PA/DA algo, is not having my Moz and YouTube links a part of our link profile putting us at a disadvantage in regards to those figures/statistics to potentially help our PA/DA? Or let me know if this is just a "timing" thing whereby Moz hasn't crawled all the pages and found our links? Thanks. Sorry for being a pain. - Patrick

The important metrics is actually do the search engines see the link. Whether or not we see the link doesn't help your ranking. It could be that those pages with the links just have low PA and don't have much linking to them, so they don't get crawled. I'd look in Google and Bing Webmaster Tools and see if the links display there.

Thanks for the follow up, Keri. I am a Pro Member with 300+ points, so I know my DF link began appearing over a month ago, but doesn't show in our link profile. I see some other members who have less than 200 and shows their NF link. It's odd as we never saw our NF link either from Moz.
Per the G+ and YouTube, I ask about this because when viewing our competitors and our clients competitors, we do see OSE index YouTube pages with their NF links, but again, our YouTube page is not indexed. I don't think I have seen any G+ links yet, though or Twitter, so not too concerned with those as I understand your budget constraints. Could something be hindering that?
I hope that is a little more helpful since I am a Moz Pro 300+ point member so a DF link should appear in the link profile and we do have a YouTube page with a link to our site, which should also appear in the link analysis? I guess, I curious to know if because they are not showing in OSE, is our DA/PA adversely affected?
Thanks again for your reply and let me know what you think. - Patrick

If the question is about the link not showing up at all, it's because we don't quite have the same budget for servers as Google and Bing have, and we don't crawl as many URLs as they do. We could crawl YouTube, G+ and Twitter extensively..or we could try to crawl the rest of the web, but not both.
Or is your question that we are not showing correctly whether a link has a nofollow attribute?
For Moz community members, people with over 200 Mozpoints get one followed link, and the rest have a nofollow. For those with fewer than 200 Mozpoints, all of their outgoing links are nofollowed.

Has anyone at Moz or anyone in the community experienced the same

Backlinks not showing on Open Site Explorer's Just-Discovered Links
Hi guys! My name is Edgar. I've recently been adding a bunch of backlinks to the site i work for, and most of them have a very high DA (DA > 80. Wohoo!). Nevertheless i'm often feel a bit frustrated when i check my site with the OSE, because just a few part of these links are showed in the just-discovered section, although i created them few days ago. So, i would like to know why is this happening, how long it take for my links to get crawled, and when can i stop getting frustrated on this? Than you very much! Edgar.

Internal links - OpenSiteExplorer vs Webmaster tools
Hi guys, I run Opensiteexplorer on the website www.fazland.com (in italian...). (https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/comparisons?site=www.fazland.com) It only shows ca 240 internal links where I know there are plenty more also shown in Google Webmaster Tools. I cannot figure out why it can crawl so few links - Google shows 79.000 links found and internal links are pretty well established. Any suggestions from your experience on this difference? Cheers, Rob
