Inbound links that does not appear in open site explorer
-
There are several links to my website that are old, and are not indexed to locate in Open Site Explorer. Which may be the problem from appearing? This is shown in webmaster tools

Completely agree with everything said here except for the "OSE = quality, webmaster tools = quantity" bit... Maybe we redefine it as OSE is simply not as good/consistent or as reliable as webmaster tools? Just maybe.

Hi Hector!
Old links generally do not stay in our index or will get picked up unless we can discover or re-discover those links from currently crawled pages. OSE is based on freshness so we would need to discover NEW pages that are still linking to your links. If they are old links and are now too deep from the home pages of those sites, we will not likely pick them up. After each index release we start from 0 links and crawl are way down from sites with high domain authority and those seeded from these sites are generally re-crawled and discovered.
OSE = quality, webmaster tools = quanity
Hope this helps!

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

Site Mark-up is Abnormally Small
My site www.brightonsoundsystem.co.uk has been optimised for speed so I have minimised the code needed. Now if I put it through the OSE spam analysis it has a flag for "Site Mark-up is Abnormally Small". What ratio of visible text compared to mark-up code is being used to trigger this flag. Also as this is the only flag I have is ti worth the time fixing.

Just Discovered Links not appearing in main index
Hi Around October, November (and ongoing since then) we had some links appear in the "just discovered" index of OSE, and yet they've never made it into the main list of domains linking to the website. We have amassed quite a few links from various domains that seem to get picked up in "Just Discovered", but not by the standard list of links to our site Is there any reason for this?

Confused about the link metrics showing up in MOZ & OSE
For my campaign "itelligence Applications" which is for site itelligencegroup.com/uk/ - MOZ seems to be giving me different stats on links, depending on which tab I look it in the Link Analysis section. Then when I look at OSE, the numbers are totally different again, not just a little bit different. Example: In MOZ Link Analysis, on the "inbound links" tab, it says there are 129 Root Domains and 6832 Total External Inbound Links. If I then look at the Competitive Metrics screen, it says there are 46,284 external followed links and 240 total linking root domains. If I then go to OSE for the same site, it says there are 14 Root Domains and 686 total links. I have no idea why these numbers vary so much or how to even report them to my client. Am I missing something here? Any help would be gratefully received! Maureen
