      Hi all,

      I have seen a few discussions / advice pieces around this, but wondered what the current view is on the fastest way to get new backlinks recognised by Moz?

      I have seen people say that the content needs to be shared (e.g. on Twitter), and advice around creating Bitly links.  I am not convinced that these techniques are working.

      On a related note, my website is very large.  I have around 2.5m pages.  Most of these pages are 3-4 clicks from the home page, but I have a small amount of important content much higher up in the site (1-2 clicks from the home page).  Does Moz crawl pages nearer the home page more frequently, or does it make a pass of all pages on the site before it starts at the beginning again?  If it makes a complete pass of all pages, then presumably making my site smaller will help to get Moz to see new content more quickly?  Is there any other value to be gained in making a large site smaller?

      Many thanks in advance,

      Neil.

        I can personally recommend DeepCrawl, its an amazing tool. Use it almost every day.

          Hm... I'm not totally sure - that might be a question to ask of Feedly's support folks. Here's what I found when I tried to go digging for some information: https://blog.feedly.com/feedly-tutorial/

          Hope that helps!

            Hi Tawny,

            Final question I think:  how do you use create a feedly link for a specific page, in order to then tweet it?  I am sorry to ask this, but cannot see how to do this.

            Thanks!

            Neil.

              Hey Neil,

              We used to use bit.ly links for this purpose, but we've switched over to feed.ly links. When I said that both a) and b) would help to get your links indexed and picked up by Open Site Explorer, I suppose I meant that a two-pronged approach would be best. I would recommend doing both! 🙂

              Hope that helps! If you've got more questions, feel free to drop us a line at help@moz.com and we'll do our best to help!

                Hi David,

                Many thanks for your response, it's really useful.  I will be sure to check out Deep Crawl as I hadn't heard of that tool before.

                Unfortunately, in my line of business, my site's Moz DA has a direct impact on my revenue, it's actually more important than my Google search rankings (crazy world we live in when the performance indicator matters more than the performance!!).

                Kind regards,

                Neil.

                  Hi NHARRIS1,

                  If you replace all of your mentions of "Moz" with "Google / search engines" your original post makes more sense.

                  It doesn't matter if Moz sees your links and it's a waste of your time to try and speed up Moz recognizing your new links - it will not help your organic performance in the slightest.

                  Also, I believe Moz has a crawl limit of 50,000 pages per site (someone from Moz can confirm / correct this) so it will only ever be scratching the surface of your 2.5m page site.

                  If you want to do a full crawl of your site to analyse issues, you might want to try Screaming Frog or Deep Crawl.

                  Cheers,

                  David

                    Hi Tawny,

                    Many thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it!

                    Re "The fastest way to get links indexed would be to a) tweet them as feed.ly links and b) search for your site in Open Site Explorer...", I have a couple of clarification questions if you don't mind.

                    Firstly, are you saying to do both (a) and (b) in order to get new content indexed, or are you saying to do either (a) or (b),  If the latter, which one is faster?

                    Secondly, is that definitely feed.ly?  I thought we needed to use bitly.com?

                    Kind regards,

                    Neil.

                      Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here. These are great questions!

                      All of the links that end up in Just Discovered Links (JDL) come from tweeted feed.ly links.

                      This is separate to the Mozscape Index, which is what powers Open Site Explorer and the Links section of Moz Pro campaigns. Links that we discover are crawled for inclusion in our main index based on the authority of those URLs.

                      I’m afraid we don’t have a specific timeframe for when links from Just Discovered Links would appear in the Mozscape index. Because of the time it takes to identify links, schedule, crawl and index them, it can be one to two indexes before the links in JDL become established links in our index. A higher domain authority of linking domains will help ensure the links are included in the index, but do not help in speeding the process of getting links indexed.

                      The fastest way to get links indexed would be to a) tweet them as feed.ly links and b) search for your site in Open Site Explorer, which will prompt our tools to revisit your site and crawl it to include more links in the index. We start from your homepage and crawl the links we find from there, so it's possible that our tools might miss links that are more deeply buried into your site.

                      I hope that helps! If you've still got any questions, feel free to shoot us a note at help@moz.com and we'll do our best to sort you out. Cheers!

                        How is Moz DA affected by spam links? Disavow file?

                        So it does not appear that moz let's you upload your disavow file.  So when moz calculates your DA how do spammy links factor in? After digging through our GA it appears our site was hit with the 2016 penguin update and never recovered.  Our weekly visitors were 2k, then dropped to 500 and have stayed close to that level for a while. We've used the disavow tool, without success over the past 3 years.  During that time we have done link out reach and built around 10 legit good quality DA links since.  But we have not recovered.  At this point i'm thinking I should just remove the disavow file. Moz says our spam score for our domain is 5%.

                        How long will it take for google to reindex 301 redirected url and refresh search results with new urls.

                        We have set up 301 redirects for some subdomains which we are planning to use, but then we changed our focus to main domain. Google has already crawled some of the subdomain pages. As it was duplicate content over subdomains and main domain, we have set up 301 redirects for all subdomains to redirect to the main domain. We have set up 301 redirects a month ago, but some of the search results still show old URLs. Do you need something extra for google search results to refresh with main domain and remove subdomain URLs from google searches? We need rankings to be passed new URLs.

                        Issues Checking Backlinks To YouTube Videos

                        Hi, Hope someone might be able to help here. I have been using OSE to check backlinks to sites without an issue. However, I do seem to have problems checking links to videos. For examplpe, I took a video url and checked backlinks and OSE reports 33 million just discovered, majestic SEO reports none and Ahrefs seems about right with 17. I was wondering if there is something I need to do to ensure OSE returns correct results for individual youtube videos. FYI, I am using the url that appears in the Google search. Thanks Mark
