How Long Do The Link Tracking Lists Take To Update?
-
Hi,
How long do the link tracking lists take to update? It's been over a week and each is still showing a red cross.
The reason I created it was because I migrated to a new domain name and Moz is still showing the backlinks on the old property and not the new (the domain swap happened in December 2020). I can see that Ahrefs has picked up all of the links - Both new and redirected - but Moz has not. When will this be reflected in Moz as it has already been over three months?
Is there a reason for the above questions?
I appreciate any response here.

Is there a reason for the above questions?The link tracking lists typically update within a few days to a week, but it seems they're taking longer in your case. This delay could be due to various factors such as technical issues or the complexity of the migration process. It's concerning that Moz hasn't reflected the domain swap from December 2020 yet, especially when Ahrefs has picked up the changes. It's worth contacting Moz support for clarification and assistance in resolving this discrepancy.

Link tracking list update times vary depending on the specific platform or service used. These lists are typically updated regularly for minutes to hours to ensure users have accurate and up-to-date tracking data. However, the exact period may vary depending on the frequency of data updates performed by your service provider.

An additional two months later and Moz still hasn't picked up the domain redirect links, nor has it picked up any of the 15/ 20 new links from legitimate, large publisher sites.
Ahrefs, Majestic, and SEMRush have picked up most.

This vaguely answers my question, so thank you.
However, it has been almost 4 weeks since setting up the tracking list and Moz still hasn't picked up the links. Not only that, it has picked up several links that come from low-quality, spammy sites.
The only thing I am getting from this experience is that Ahrefs and Majestic are much better than Moz and that I should not purchase a monthly subscription after the free trial ends.
Thank you for your time, Eli.

Hi,
We hope to see links added to Link Tracking Lists appear within our index within 2 - 4 weeks, that is the typical timeframe. This mentioned timeframe is normal but not a 100% guarantee, as you should see most links appear in our index within that timeframe but it is possible you will not see all links added which would not be unusual.
Adding Links to our Link Tracking Lists helps our crawler to find them but when exactly our crawler finds your links may still vary between any given timeframe; some links may be found sooner and some later.
Due to the amount of links on the web, the crawl-ability of a site, the amount of links added to our lists and how our crawler naturally crawls it's hard to pinpoint exactly when your specific links added will be found in the Link Index.
If there is anything else you need please feel free to reach out to help@moz.com

Old links that need to be removed
We are having a problem trying to get rid of old links that have been removed from a website that no longer exists. See links below-There are several more that we need to deal with. We have tried putting them into Google Search Console, but they keep reappearing with Moz. Since our new website is hosted on Hubspot now and not on WordPress, which these links are referring to, we are trying to determine how to remove them from being indexed since they don't exist anymore? http://intouch-marketing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/mas.png

Finding a list of all inbound links
Hello. I just used Open Site Explorer to find inbound links to a site. But it does not seem to list all inbound links. I will be changing a lot of urls on the site, and I would like to put in 301 redirects only for the pages that have links to them. Is there a way to find all inbound links and the specific pages they link to? Thank you!

Possible to force the SEOmoz Ranking Report to update?
Hi guys, I have added about 100 keywords to my Rankings Report in SEOmoz and I'm just wondering if there is a way to force the application to get my rankings ASAP rather than waiting a while for the rankings to come through? I'm in a bit of a hurry! 🙂 Thanks. C.

Non-Recognition of Links
Hi All, I asked about a client last month and have had to do some other digging to try to find out what's going on with its Google rankings. According to our link-building spreadsheet, we have got up to 50 links (from 50 domains) in process of being actioned and a large proportion of these are actually in existence. There are two questions:- 1. Open Site Explorer only recognises 3 domains - as I know that other domains exist and are pointing (mostly 'followed'), what can be the reason OSE doesn't recognise this? 2. What can be done to encourage these external links to be more easily accessible by OSE and, presumably other bots? Other Points:- 1. I initially thought it might be crawl blocking issue causing the rankings, but Bing/Yahoo rankings are slowly dragging themselves upwards. 2. Robots.txt is not blocking any of the site 3. Pro on-site analysis for the target keyword is 'A' 4. The website's stats per OSE are better than some competitors in the top 20 except on the root domain issue, which is why the above point is important. Link building for other clients has worked really well without hiccups and with general gradual recognition, so any tips from more experienced folks out there would be gratefully appreciated. Many thanks, Martin

Tracking Label Group History
In the campaign manager, is there a way to track trends in the average ranking of a labelled group? We divide our keywords into aggregate buckets which we maintain on week-to-week basis and we're more interested in how we're doing for each bucket as opposed to individual keywords (which fall in and out of buckets over time) If this isn't possible - is it part of the product roadmap? Thanks
