OSE - Link Opportunities
-
I'm checking out this new Link Opportunities feature for one of our sites and what I'm seeing right now is pretty disappointing.
For Reclaim Links, everything listed is an internal link on our site. It's got tons of URLs from our old Iciniti structure (replatformed to Magento mid-March). It's crawling tons of stuff that's blocked in robots. There are no links from external domains in the first 5 pages.
For Unlinked Mentions, it's showing tons of mentions - 33,566 to be exact, a ridiculous number - mostly from news sites like Forbes, WSJ, Guardian, CNN, etc. These sites are not mentioning us. It's set up to look only for our brand name or domain name, so I don't know how it's thinking there are all these nonexistent mentions.
What's going on with Link Opportunities?

Hey Autoschieber,
There's no manual refresh unfortunately.
The Reclaim Links report refreshes with every MozScape index update. So you'll see those changes reflected in the report when MozScape re-crawls the site at the beginning of November.

Is there a place where I can hit refresh. We relaunched our Site Kfz.net a few month ago and a lot of links where broken and had 404 responses (some fixed some not).
The page is showing a lot of links that are returning http 200 now. How can I refresh?
-
Hey,
Thanks for the feedback.
You can think of Reclaim Links as a curated list of your Top Pages. They're URLs on your site that have links pointing to them but can't rank or pass link equity due to problematic server responses or other conditions (4xx for example). The idea is to fix broken pages or adjust from 302 to 301 redirects when appropriate. There's a bit more information in the help hub.
In terms of Unlinked Mentions, if you want to narrow your results you can use Fresh Web Explorer operators to exclude certain terms/phrases. If you think the results are flat out inaccurate it's something we'll definitely want to dig into on our end. Feel free to send the domain you're searching for to the Help team and we can do some investigation.

Hi
It seems to be working ok for us, however whats your brand name?
If your brand is something like cheaplaptops then this is going to appear on these sites, when they are talking about cheap laptops, but they aren't obviously mentioning you.
I will take a look if you can send me your url or brand name.
Thanks
Andy

Can't make sense of OSE and MOZ.
I checked this site on my OSE and it shows only 7 inbound links a DA of 14 and no social activity whatsoever yet when I check it on Majestic it shows ExternalBacklinks 71 ReferringDomains 20 Referring IPs 19 Referring Subnets 19 . And.. the page is #1 on google search for hypnotherapy michigan. How can it rate so poorly on MOZ, show so much more on majestic and rank so high on google? I thought MOZ data was supposed to be among the best and that top rated pages on google should also rate high on MOZ. here is the site http://hypnotherapy-detroit.com Additionally, when i look at the site, i notice that most of the backlinks are exchanged links and this site's link exchange page isn't even linked from the home page. Now I thought that kind of link exchange game was now discounted by Google. I don't get it. No social pages at all... low page rank... no new content.. so by MOZ standards there is no justification for this page to be anywhere near page one let alone at position #1. Can someone help me make sense of all this?

Sites internal links are not showing as inbound links
My sites internal links are not showing as inbound links while my competitor site’s internal links are showing as their inbound links (In OSE). Is my site’s inter-linking weak? Or there could be other reasons.
