Flush Open Site Explorer data
-
Hi folks
Recently (about a month ago) we launched a new website. However, when I use Open Site Explorer and look at the "Top pages" tab, old URL's which no longer exist, appears in the list. Is there some way to get around this?
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick (and elaborate) answer! Will keep an eye on the index then

Open Site Explorer is powered by the Mozscape index. As we re-crawl the site and update the index, you should see any pages which aren't there move out and the new ones get in. This might take 30-60 days from when the pages were removed/changed (or longer if the timing's bad - our index updates every ~15 days with crawl data from the past 60 days, so if there's an unlucky overlap, data could be as old as 75 days or as fresh as 15 days).

Link Explorer is not working for particular domain
Hello, Linking Domain section in Link Explorer is not working fine for sewingmachineprice.com. When I put this domain to analyze for backlinks it says, "You entered the URL https://sewingmachineprice.com/ which redirects to www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=sewingmachineprice&e=com. Click here to analyze www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=sewingmachineprice&e=com instead." In fact, this domain is not redirected to any third domain or URL. I personally checked it and can access this website without any redirection.

What does "Number of Linking Root Domains" in Open Site Explorer actually mean?
I've read through the forum, but I'm confused as to what "Number of Linking Root Domains" means in the Linking Domains report. For example, if the root domain is Moz.com and the number is 135,000 does that mean there are 135,000 links from Moz pointing back to my site or does it mean there are 135,000 sites linking back to Moz? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Do other sites linking to my page with a low domain authority affect my rankings?
Hello, my page authority 30, I see other page with an authority of 21 for example linking to us. Is this good or bad, does this affect our ranking? A lot of these don't have anchor text, I'm guessing we should reach out to these webmaster to include anchor text with the keywords we want to drive traffic to this page or make as descriptive as possible? Thanks! Laura

Hello Moz World, Does anyone know how long it takes Moz's OpenSite Explorer to recognise / index back links? I have generated a number of back links for pages in the last 7 days (not "no-follow") and they are not yet showing up? Any advise would be much appreciated. Kind regards Ben
