Am I using OSE wrong?
-
Hi - new to all this!
A link on a competitor site is showing as 404 when I check it with OSE but nothing on the page seems to be broken.
It's got loads of links to it, so I'm trying to work out what's going on. I just filtered the results by '40?'.
Thanks

Fresh links on sites with high authority can queue new links and sites to be recrawled. Our index starts from 0 each update so we would need a reason to recrawl external domain with links. Most sites the have continuous link building are kept updated in our index. There has been new links discovered and are in the queue to be processed which can appear in the next 1-2 updates: https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/just-discovered?site=www.copyblogger.com&filter=&source=&target=domain&page=1&sort=crawled

How often do you crawl sites (and in particular that site)?
-
The last time we crawled the site was on January 14th and it does appear many pages were not available until January 16th.

Hi. I think that's a fair response, if it weren't for the fact that the majority of the links showing up seem okay...
Here's an example: http://www.copyblogger.com/2015-online-business-report/

Hi There!
The 404 may have existed when we first discovered the link. The data in OSE is not a live representation as we can cache data for up to 190 days.

Can you provide us with a URL to see for ourselves?

Subdomain and nofollow backlinks are used to calculate the domain authority?
Greetings, I have a couple of questions about domain authority. 1 - The backlinks that come from different subdomains count several times or only once coming from the same domain? 2 - The nofollow backlinks are used to calculate the domain authority? Thank you.

Use a National Brands name in your content
Moz Page Optimizer - content suggestions offer national name brands as KW content to rank higher. I can easily write it into our copy but is it ethical, even with a statement like: "This is not a Fathead product" of "the same as the Fatheads seen on TV" I say no, but curious to get my Mozzers feedback KJr

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?

301 Redirects: How long for Google to recognize? How long for Moz/OSE to recognize?
I redirected a few pages that had funky URL issues (capitals and underscores and useless words) to the same page renamed with proper URLs. The sitemaps were changed also, and re-submitted. Like this: mydomain.com/Not_Pertinent_Words.html >>> mydomain.com/good-words.html Google seems to have found them and changed the search engine results listing in about 8 days. But it's been about a month now and Moz and OSE still have not transferred all the strength and link data from the old URLs to the new ones. Question 1: How long does it usually take Google to transfer all the link and strength data for a 301? Question 2: How long does it take Moz and OSE to do the same? Is there something I need to do to tell them about the changes?
