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.
Here's some more information that you might find helpful:

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.

Why isn't OSE showing any of my links?
My domain uses a redirect of all traffic to https. The site is https://www.tallslimtees.com. I've been working on it this year and know there are several good, topical links coming in. But OSE shows nothing. Any idea why this would be the case? How can I see all of my links and the data on them?

Open Site Explorer
I have entered my site (patioenjoyment.com) a few different times into the OSE and it never seems to find it, MOZ has found it because it has done the crawl test for me a few times, found some issues and I have been working on those. But I assume that if it is able crawl my site it should find it to run the OSE. It has come back with "**It looks like we haven't discovered established link data for this URL yet." everytime. ** Thanks, Julie

Does Open Site Explorer recognise nofollow links?
In the backlink profile for my site on OSE, I'm seeing a lot of links that are paid advetorials and I know go through DoubleClick. I was informed that links going through Doubleclick automatically become NoFollow links. If the above is true, should I ignore these links? If they are NoFollow, they don't really contribute to my backlink profile? THANKS!
