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

Can you highlight a list of keywords in reports?
Hello all, My client recently asked me if there was a way to highlight a specific list of keywords to put on the first page of every report. These would be the highest priority keywords that we would always want to know the status of for his site. In the reports section, I am only seeing options for organizing the keywords by rankings improved/declined and comparing to competitors. Would anyone know how to label/categorize this list of keywords and then produce them as part of the monthly reports? Thank you,

Panda Update Hurt, but why?
Hi, my name is Sam and I am new to this forum and SEOMOZ. I got hit hard in rankings after the Panda Update and was really suprised. I do not use any black hat SEO I am aware of, do not keyword stuff, and dont even have a tag cloud. Just wondering what in the world I did to get hit hard. Anyone else have this happen, and If so what would be good SEOMOZ tool(s) to use? I will admit SEO has always confused me. From my experience it's not always the best site (relevance) that gets ranked the highest. I feel like I'm missing something with SEO. I'm hoping this SEOMOZ site will help. I may end up hiring someone from Elance to do my SEO, lol. Sam

To Many Links on site
I've had an issue with to many links on the site. My drop down menu, secondary footer and footer. The report told me that I had 253 links on each page. I then programmed my secondary footer to dynamic and ran a crawl and my links reduced accordingly to 201. Then turned the footer into dynamic and ran a crawl with my links increasing to 1500. This also happened between each phase but en went away. Oddly enough, my domain authority increased as well as other factors in the crawl report. This too many links thing is driving me crazy. Please provide some guidance.

OSE Backlink results - reported link not actually there?
Not a complaint, but a question to understand how the research tool operates: When I run backlink checks on websites, often the reported link is not only not on the page, but it's not found anywhere on the site. I use several tools to search for the link url as well as for the keyword.  Why does the tool report a link is there, but I cannot find the links in some cases?  Is there a lag in the information the tool is using, making it not quite up to date, or is it something else? Thanks much!

External Links through Open site explorer
I have just ran an Open site explorer query on our site due to having one of a constant ranking keywords drop, and found that we have 48 new links appear on the report under the anchor text 'home' These are not normal links, and I cannot see where or how these have been connected to our site for example: <colgroup span="1"><col span="1" width="696"></colgroup>

Why would PA be 1 (0 links from 0 root domains) if it's linked to internally?
Question just about said it all: I've seen a number of pages on sites that have a PA of 1 (with the metrics being 0 links from 0 root domains) when I can see on the site that it is linked to internally - from the main nav (which is CSS, not Javascript) and also from the footer, if not other places. Â Why would this be? Update: upon looking further at the site, it appears that there's some kind of redirect going on, where the page linked to from the nav actually redirects to the real page. Would that eliminate PA, even if it's a 301? And additionally, is whatever is causing this lack of PA a reflection of how Google would relate to the page? Thanks, Aviva
