Why some of my strong backlinks don't show up in Site Explorer
-
Hello,
Just was checking my backlinks and I see that few very strong backlinks are not showing up in my links list. I check with Moz bar in my browser and those are all dofollow links.
Some of those sites link back to me a while ago.
Thanks,
Regards,
Armands

Also some websites may have blocked Moz crawler, with the meta
So all their links won't show in OpenSiteExplorer

Hi,
Althought OSE is a great tool, it's not 100% accurate. Sometimes there will be a delay and sometimes it won't show some of your links. The main purpose of OSE (in my opinion) - is competitive analysis to find link opportunities.
Thanks,

Hi Armands,
Moz updates their index about once a month. Next update in June 21st.
Also, while the Moz index is rather large it's not all encompassing, which means there are backlinks that it just won't find.

Drop in Domain Authority across 20 sites
Hi I monitor and track 20-25 sites. I got a -1 in DA across the board this month. Has anyone else experienced this. It's possible my server/cms guys have made a global change. Has anyone at Moz or anyone in the community experienced this?

Is Moz's backlink checker.... just... not good?
Hey everyone! Can somebody explain to me why this keeps happening: Whenever I'm trying to backlink my competitors, I typically use RavenTools. Every time, without fail, if I put that same URL into Moz's Open Site Explorer - It gives me about 1/20th of what RavenTools shows me. Sometimes it literally comes up with 2 or 3 links total. Unfortunately, RavenTools has a cap on how many backlink checks you can perform in a month - so once I've used those up, I have to start using OSE... But, it just doesn't work. Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks!

Not sure why the data on the reports is stale. Meaning it hasn't been updated since my purchase date. Hard to know if I am making any progress.
I am a MOZ Pro subscriber and I am not sure why the data on the reports is stale, meaning it hasn't been updated since my purchase date. Hard to know if I am making any progress. How often does the data update?

Why are no-follow links in my blog comments across the web showing up as "equity-passing"?
When I make comments on blog posts (and there's a link in my comment or my name is the link to my site), the links are always no-follow (as they should be). But, when I check Open Site Explorer, the new links show up as equity-passing. Are they actually passing equity or is this a mistake?

How Is a Page Crawled by Moz When Moz Says 'No Links'?
As above, really. I've crawled a new client's site to find the Moz crawler has identified a handful of 404 errors. The Moz crawler says these pages have '0 linking domains', and OSE has no data for these pages. So how are these pages being crawled by Moz and what should I advise my client?
