OpenSite Explorer

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

Martin,
Thank you for the reply, that sounds great. It seemed like the most recent index came a few weeks early (was listed as Oct 1st) and the next one is scheduled about a month out which seems like forever when you're trying to see what progress you've made, but as you mentioned, it is a ton of data to sort through on your end so definitely understand the challenges. Will be great if the next update allows for index updates on a more frequent basis and additional insights, definitely looking forward to it. Thanks again.

Hi Kyle,
I am the manager of the Big Data team at Moz. Currently the system we use has a cycle time of approx 4 weeks. This pulls together all the data we have seen in the previous 100 days of crawling (approx 170 Million Domains where we see136 Billion Links) as you can imagine index and sorting these links can take some time.
We are currently working on a major update (to be released early next year) to our systems where we will move to an incremental model were updates are applied to the index on a much more timely manner. We also plan to incorporate some form of data visualization about how often and how much of a user site will be crawled so that our customers can get some in-site into when they will see updates.
I hope that helps.
Martin.

Even after the most recent index update I didn't see some of the links I have built show up. So far it seems to take about a month for new links to show up but they appear in Google Webmaster tools much sooner. Hopefully if the Moz Index updates more frequently in the future these links will appear much faster. Good luck with your link building efforts.

That's a great help thank you. Much appreciated for your quick reply.

Hi Ben
OSE and the Moz index runs on scheduled updates. You can check when it was last updated and when the next update will happen right here.
You can see the last update was 3 weeks ago, with the next update on the 1st Oct. Hence why you're links aren't showing yet.
Moz is working hard on making the updates more regular and in the past have had them every week or fortnight, so hopefully it'll get back to there soon.
Hope this helps.

Open Site Explorer not attributing page authority
Hi there, I have been having an issue with OSE attributing page authority to one of the sites I have been looking at. The homepage page authority is fine but any page after this does not have any according to OSE. I have been in touch with Moz and they have stated it's because there are no external or internal links pointing to any of these pages. However, I know that their are internal links pointing to these pages from the homepage in the nav. The domain is: https://healys.com/ If anyone has any ideas what may be going on that would be great. Thanks!

Open Site Explorer - Just Discovered Inbound Links
Hello Moz Forum, Thanks in advance for any help. My website was recently featured in a bunch of high DA journals and magazines. I don't see the inbound links on the open site explorer, but I do see them in recently discovered. My website's Domain Authority hasn't changed a wink. How long does it take, typically to see the recently discovered links under the inbound links portion? Thanks! j1pqVRt
