@fassi34562 We are encountering a similar problem with our SEO Xidmeti . Despite generating several backlinks from various legitimate sources, the Moz tool fails to crawl or display these backlinks in its listings. However, other tools are able to recognize and show these backlinks regardless of when they were created.

Hey, this is exactly what I experience with cv formasi. During the first crawl of the campaign, the tool returned normal almost all links visible compared to GSC. Then it almost stopped working. I wonder if it is something to do with the number of pages set to crawled when you just create a campaing. From now on I always set the number of pages maximum, see if it works

Hi Bloggers123,
If you follow the directions in the thread above to create a Link Tracking List and add the specific URLs of any links you are aware of then the Moz crawler will crawl those links within a few days.

Hi, everyone. I am writing on behalf of Elseo and suffering from the same technical challenge. We are generating several backlinks from various sources (not spammy), but Moz tool does not crawl or show my backlinks on its listing. However, other tools does crawl and show no matter the date of the backing generated.

Hi Bob!
I added some information about Link Tracking Lists for fassi in this thread which I think will be helpful for you too.
Happy Link Tracking!!

Hi fassi34562!
Such great information from Robin!
The good news is, that if you already know that links to your website exist and you know where they come from, you can actually help Link Explorer to find them more quickly by adding them to a Link Tracking List!
Adding a link to the Link Tracking List will tell the Moz crawler to check the page for links to the Target URL. Your target URL can be a specific page, or you can use the domain URL. The important thing to remember if you are using a Link Tracking List to confirm existing links is to use specific page URLs in your list - this will make sure the crawler goes right to the page where the link exists. Otherwise, it may take time for the crawler to eventually get to the exact page within the site as Robin explained above
Once the link is found (and as long as the page is not blocked) you will see the icons change in your list to show that the link has been found. You can also make notes so you have a record of any important information.
Here's a Guide to using Link Tracking Lists for all kinds of SEO tasks!!
Hope that helps!

Hi there, unfortunately we can't really rely on any one tool to know all of our backlinks, even Google!
When someone links to your site, they could be doing it from the New York Times, or they could be doing it from a tiny site which they just created. The only way any tool (Google, Moz etc.) can get a list of backlinks is by continually accessing a page, finding every link on that page, going to all the linked pages, finding all the links on those pages etc.
With something like the New York Times, these tools know the site, they know to keep coming back to check every so often, so it's more likely they identify the link going to your site. With a tiny site someone has just created - it's much harder for these tools to even know the site exists, never mind know the specific page on that site which is linking to yours. Even if a tool has a massive database of the internet, there are trillions of web pages and no one database will have a record of them all.
The next best thing is for us to use as many tools as we can to get as complete a picture of the issue as we can. I often try to check;
- Moz
- Google Search Console (this will only give you the first 1K)
- AHrefs
- SEMRush
- Majestic SEO.
You'll need to dedupe the different lists but between them, they should stand a better chance of finding backlinks to your site. If they don't find anything then it's likely that the pages linking to your site are either quite out-of-the-way or they are in some way blocked from crawlers.
In terms of tracking keywords, Moz does allow you to include a keyword list which it'll give you ranking information for over time, you can also track keywords in Stat (search "getstat"), and SEMRush and AHRefs will give you ranking information too.
Hope that helps!

I also notice that not all my back-links show in the MOZ reporting. Many do, but not all. I'd like to know all of them so I can put any spamy ones in my disavow file.

Why MOZ just index some of the links?
hello everyone i've been using moz pro for a while and found a lot of backlink oppertunites as checking my competitor's backlink profile.
Link Building | | seogod123234
i'm doing the same way as my competitors but moz does not see and index lots of them, maybe just index 10% of them. though my backlinks are commenly from sites with +80 and +90 DA like Github, Pinterest, Tripadvisor and .... and the strange point is that 10% are almost from EDU sites with high DA. i go to EDU sites and place a comment and in lots of case, MOZ index them in just 2-3 days!! with maybe just 10 links like this, my DA is incresead from 15 to 19 in less than one month! so, how does this "SEO TOOL" work?? is there anyway to force it to crawl a page?0 -

Can't remove and can't disavow...
Wondering if anyone could help me. A client is suffering a Google penalty at the moment which is harming their performance. That said it is properly the best penalty they could have got..the site has a penalty which is stopping them ranking as high on keywords which they have been spamming links for. I say the best penalty they could have got because, other than these keywords, the site is still performing as well as before in the engines. Have been trying to clear up the backlinks for the past couple of months and just when I think im winning I discover some 32,000 blog comments on one domain 6 weeks or so ago!! - [http://www. iimpact.co.uk/blog/about?ss=%25&replytoc&rep&d=http://8;d=http://166",.moveForm("comment-1628", "1628", addComment.m&replytocom=265](http://www.iimpact.co.uk/blog/about?ss=%25&replytoc&rep&d=http://8;d=http://166",.moveForm("comment-1628", "1628", addComment.m&replytocom=265) example url, I broke it on purpose as to not make it a backlink With that many links i will not even try and contact the site, I put in the disavow in google that there is no way I can get these removed and explained it etc, however, they, again, rejected the reconsideration request saying they are still not happy with the links. At a bit of a loss here. It's starting to look that the best approach will be to write off the half a dozen terms and go a little more long tail. The site will not rank for (this is an example as would not want to give the client away) door knockers. They used to be first page but now are page four. However they remain page one for terms such as brass door knockers, cheap door knockers, chrome door knockers etc. In WMT ranking report they have hits from 1200 words ranking in the top 5 in the past 30 days and 3000 in the top ten. Im a considering trying to up the rankings of these words at the expense of the ones which we cannot seem to get the penalty off. Any thoughts please.

PR1 and PR2 backlinks
We're doing some content marketing. I've heard that it is a good idea to target even PR1 and PR2 sites (small DA sites). I'm concerned about these sites disappearing after a few months, as we've found that losing a backlink can sting a bit and be worse than never having it. Though this isn't as big a deal any more. Anyways, can somebody say when a PR1/PR2 backlink would be appropriate to go after? Some of them would be easy and if it's appropriate I'd like to include them. So far they would only pass our standards if they are Above PR0 Look like a white hat, quality site from the outside Have a clean backlink profile Look like they're going to stick around Successful Social Media Accounts a plus What are you guys' criteria for including these sites? Do you gain value from them?

How long does it take for new links to show up?
Hi all, We just kicked off our first infographic to start a content marketing strategy: I'm wondering how long it will take for SEOMoz to add this to our link profile, and I suppose more importantly, how long it will take Google to recognize the links that have been generated from it. The response has been pretty good and I'm excited to see the results. Thanks!

Outbound links and their pro's and con's
So I was wondering if there was a general consensis regarding the amount of outbound links you have coming from your domain to other domains and if there is a correlation between the more you have going out, the more (for want of a better word) damage you can do to your domain. EG: is a site with good domain authority better to keep the short leash on handing out links to external sites? Does this make the link juice from the site more valuable?

Backlinks not showing up in the campaign crawl
I have been adding backlinks, about 110 since the last crawl, but only 14 new linking domains showed in my campaign profile. Can someone explain? Is it that the linking domains were not crawled and thus not seen. Is it that the crawl posting is from data that was crawled a long time ago (4-6 weeks ago) and it took a while for it to show up is it that the domains i got links on were, possibly, not so hot and just get filtered out?
