Where can I see the list of the new backlinks reported?
-
In my dashboard I see a +875 in external links. Now they are 1,130. This sounds worrying rother than good news! I'd like to get an explaination but how can I see where these links come from? And when?
How can be explained a steep increase in the link count from the last index?
Also, a minor question, where can I find the increase percentage? I am able to see only the absolute count.

Hi there!
While our index is rather large, it is by no means inclusive of every link on the web. We're continuously working to increase the scope of our index, which means that you could start to see more links included than before. Also, rather than a sheer volume change in our index, it could be related to the types of sites that we're looking at for a newer index update.Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to report when a link was discovered by the index (other than in 'Just-Discovered Links' as Dmitrii mentioned above). It's certainly something we'd like to be able to accommodate for the future, but those changes would be a ways down the road.
With respect to a percentage increase, I don't believe it's displayed anywhere within the app, but you could find the value for that increase by dividing the new number of links (1130) by the original number of links (1130-875) and then multiplying by 100. I hope this helps!

Hello, my friend.
To see the list of fresh backlinks - go to Open Site Explorer and go to "just discovered" section. This will return the list of... just discovered backlinks. The only problem - it'll give you data for past 60 days only (as far as I understand). So, if you need past that - use other backlink tools with historical index like Majestic.
Cheers.

Links in link lists not being discovered by Moz
I uploaded a couple of link lists to Moz about a week ago and have been tracking them. Most of the links on the list are from significant 90+ DA domains such as Wikipedia, Medium, etc. So far, Moz only seems to have discovered about 4 the 200 or so links I loaded. Do we know how long it takes for these to be discovered by Moz? Quite new to this, so any help understanding timelines for this would be appreciated.

Most of the backlinks not listed
Hi, I'm running a website since one year and a half, and I'm periodically watching with Moz OSE tools the number of backlinks it has. It still shows only 11 backlinks from 8 domains, even if my actual backlinks are much more and come from about 40 domains. I've already searched the forum and read that Moz scraper updates once per month, but all these backlinks are like 6 months old, and still no trace. Many other competitor tools, including the simple google search console can see all the backlinks, only Moz can't retrieve them. Do you have any idea? Somebody else in the same situation? Or is there a way to submit to Moz links to pages containing that backlinks?

Unable to fully see full spectrum of links built on some backlink checkers
We have built various links in directories and blogs to our website. We can clearly see that these links have been established on these websites. Some we have built well over 6 months ago. However, upon using a range of tools such as Moz Open Explorer, Cognitive SEO Backlink Explorer and SEM Rush's Backlink Checker, we cannot see in any of these backlink checking tools the full spectrum of links we know we have built displayed. In instances of using these tools, we are only seeing a very small sample of links that we have built. Our question here is then threefold: Why is it that a lot of these tools don't pick up the links we know we have built? Does google eventually see all the links we have built? Or does it suffer from the same problem as backlink checkers, unable to identify all built links? Is there a backlink checker that is throughly comprehensive, or close to, in its ability to identify all links? We have heard good things about Ahrefs and would love to hear people's thoughts here.

Are Just Discovered Links Reports Working?
I can't find my 4 month old site in Open Site Explorer. But as the site has had all of its posts tweeted I checked the Just Discovered Links reports to see if it was mentioned there. My domain is http://www.genesisclub.training but the problem is that if I target "this root domain" - I get a bunch of links that are nothing to do with my site. For example the root domain report includes sites linking to www.tinmagpie.training www.goahead.training powerquery.training http://videoproduction.training http://www.eti.training http://linkedinsales.training and more, as sites linking to my root domain. In which universe? The Just Discovered algorithm looks like it isn't coping with the .training TLD. It is treating my domain as if it were genesisclub.training.com so now anything.training is in my root domain.

How can I use Open Site Explorer to Identify why my own URL's are appearing as inbound links
I'm a new member of Moz, and am trying to understand why I am seeing my sites URL's in my Inbound Link results in Open Site Explorer. There are quite a few, and they are all product category URL's that are generated by my stores database. This is not happening with .html URL's. Any thoughts?
