Open site explorer Update
-
Hi Moz community,
I have been using this tool to check my DA & PA and backlinks of my website.
Since last week we have some outbound links to my website as I knew it but MOZ havent pointed out these links when I use the "Open site explorer" tool.
Please answer this for me.
Thanks & regards,
Zita

Hi there,
Thank you for your answer, but its too slow and we are purchasing the MOZ product to keep tracking on our SEO performance. Hence, if it does take two months for you to update our data, how can we revise or adjust our SEO strategy to compete in the market? Some other tools is already index us.
If it takes that slow to index our page when we buy your product, we will have to consider using MOZ. I have to say that.
Kind regards,
zita

Hi there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here. I think I can help explain why you may not be seeing links to your site in Open Explorer yet.
Open Site Explorer and the Link Analysis page of campaigns are both tied to our Mozscape index, which tends to update roughly once a month.
Just a few points on how we compile our index:
- We grab the most recent index.
- We take the top 10 billion URLs with the highest MozRank (with a fixed limit on some of the larger domains).
- We start crawling from the top down until we've crawled ~130 billion URLs
The idea here is that we're focusing on the highest-quality links we can find, coming from the most prominent pages of authoritative sites. So, while you may not see every link for a site within our index, we're aiming to report the most valuable ones available!
Most new sites and links will be indexed by our spiders and available in Mozscape and Open Site Explorer within 60 days, but some take even longer for many reasons - including the crawl-ability of sites, the number of inbound links to them, and the depth of pages in subdirectories.
You can see our most recently updated schedule here as well as some more technical metrics on our Mozscape API Updates page. You can also see when the last and next updates happened on the Open Site Explorer (OSE) homepage at any time.
Since Moz focuses on quality of links over quantity, we are always focused on the most relevant links to display to our users. It's possible that Moz's index will leave out some of the lower-quality (non-link juice providing) links out of our index because of this. So, that might explain why you may see some discrepancies with what other tools may be showing.
I know this is a ton of information, so if you have any questions or if I didn't make anything clear enough, please don't hesitate to write in to help@moz.com and ask!

Are these new links? It may be a case of Moz needs to rerun its crawl of your website in order to pick up any changes. Check back after a little while or maybe try a recrawl test - https://moz.com/researchtools/crawl-test
Failing that, send them a polite message

Unsolved when is the spam score updated?
when is the spam score updated?
Link Explorer | | Tv24.ro
we have been waiting since December to see an update of the spam score and moz is lying to us continuously. Shame, whenever we ask questions, they don't answer us, I think they almost make fun of people.
I requested an update to antena24, tv24, digi24, alba24, g4media, b1tv,newsela0 -
Why would a site (competitor) show up in Keyword SERPs Analysis but not show up in Rank Tracker for the same keyword?
I used Rank Tracker to evaluate a specific site for "geofencing software" - the result was "not in the top 50." However, if I go to Keyword SERP analysis and put in the same keyword "geofencing software," it shows the specific site within the first page results in SERP. I verified the ranking with a google search of my own and the site does show in the first page results. Why is Rank Tracker not matching Keyword SERP results?

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

Is this site linking to us?
Hi, Moz OSE does not recognize this site as linking to our site, but I feel like it has to be. Here is the code and the link to the site: http://www.avvo.com/attorneys/34655-fl-stacy-kemp-1843513.html#contact [https://kemprugegreen.com/location/tampa/tampa-car-auto-accident-attorney/](<a class=)" target="_blank">https://kemprugegreen.com/location/tampa/tampa-car-auto-accident-attorney/ So are they linking to us? If so, how come OSE cant find it? It lists it for our competitors. Thanks, Ruben
