I have the trial of MOZ right now but the open site explorer hasn't updated since Dec 4th
-
What do you do to get the lasted information?

Ray is correct our next index is scheduled for this week (Jan 28th).
CJ5 - I apologize for the delays we've been seeing with our index, and please know we'd love to get you fresh data ASAP. We had some unforeseen issues early in January that led to this delay. We are working our hardest to get you complete, fresh, relevant link metrics. I do apologize for any issues you have in the meantime!

If you're looking for fresher results, try the Fresh Web Explorer tool (http://freshwebexplorer.moz.com/). Open Site Explorer derives most of it's value from looking at the history of a website: cumulative links, what goes into getting a site it's domain authority, domain trust, etc. It's very useful for digging into how 3 or 4 competitors got to where they are now, and areas that you could target as well. That being the case its index update isn't as mission critical.
If you're trying to find information on your own site and it's brand new, you'll probably be better served by using the webmaster tools available at the engines for the first month or so. Can you expand on what type of results you're trying to achieve with the OSE and maybe I could give you more specific guidance or alternate methods / tools. Cheers!

Like Ray said, Moz has been slow in updating the index. I'm a subscriber and I'm getting quite disappointed by this. The December index was delayed from when they initially said it would be, and then this January index has now been delayed twice. Just FYI.

The Moz index is usually refreshed once a month, however, it's been longer than that since the last update this time around. Moz has a big index update schedule for the 28th, I believe.

WP Events Calendar Creates URLs Too Long in Site Crawler
My travel/tourism site is on WP and using an Events plugin that ads a calendar of events to many pages. The MOZ crawler is indexing almost 46K links with a URL too long, but the site only has about 3.8K pages indexed in Google. I can tell MOZ is indexing the same pages over and over again but just adding a random calendar month and year. Here are some examples. https://www.visitcurrituck.com/four-day-stay/?full=1&long_events=1&country[0]=US&ajaxCalendar=1&mo=10&yr=2003 https://www.visitcurrituck.com/four-day-stay/?full=1&long_events=1&country%5B0%5D=US&ajaxCalendar=1&mo=10&yr=2034 https://www.visitcurrituck.com/beach-houses-family-time/?full=1&long_events=1&country%5B0%5D=US&ajaxCalendar=1&mo=1&yr=1873 Any advice on how to prevent MOZ from indexing this way? I don't believe that Google is seeing this also, but maybe they are. I just know my site has over 63K issues and I'm sure at least 75% or more is because of the way they are picking up on the events calendar. Thanks!

Open Site Explorer: Error receiving data
Hi, When searching many URLs in Open Site Explorer, we seem to be getting the same "There was an error getting your data" message come up instead of the URL's metrics and inbound links. We have tried on different browsers as well, and the same issue results. Is there a reason for this or a way to fix this? Thank you! voPdqF5.png?1

How does spammy linked site have zero spam score?
I came across a law firm site with hundreds of horrible spam links to it. Of the 3330 links, all but 231 links have anchor text that has to do with "jordan 11s for sale". I'm trying to see how useful the moz spam score is, but clearly it's not reliable if this site has a score of zero. Many of the obviously spammy sites linking to it also have low to zero spam scores, although there are plenty in the 5-10 range. (see attached image). I also noticed that many sites were legit sites, but if you look at the source code, there's tons of hidden spam links in the code (e.g., www.chickasawgardens.net) Why would this site have a zero spam score? If you're curious, put it into open site explorer and have a look. It's a law firm based in Pennsylvania, most anchor text has to do with jordan sneakers and most links are foreign: penn-criminallawyers.com Is the spam score too lenient? Is the moz tool unable to find spam links coming from legitimate sites with hidden spam links? DrokMbP

Twitter Data Does Not Appear in Open Site Explorer
Hi, I ran a search of more than 10 of my competitors in Open Site Explorer to have insights on their social activity. In every case I found "NA" marked against Twitter data. Does it mean there is no activity being performed by the urls against which i am running the query? Or it is something else? Wondering since there is much activity and data of course against Facebook and Google+ (same urls yeh!) Anybody could find time to share her/his knowledge please. Regards Tanveer
