      When looking at the backlinks for a client's competitor I found that they had a backlink on search.yahoo.com/reviews and our domain (harmonyhit.com) did not. I was using the Link Explorer tool.

      However, when I go to yahoo Search I see that the website of harmonyhit.com is indexed in Yahoo search and has links to the site. Also, it's sitemap has been recently crawled in Bing webmaster tools which Yahoo uses.

      Why does our client have the backlink accounted for and we do not?

        When looking at the backlinks for a client's competitor I found that they had a backlink on search.yahoo.com/reviews and our domain (harmonyhit.com) did not. I was using the Link Explorer tool.
        However, when I go to yahoo Search I see that the website of harmonyhit.com is indexed in Yahoo search and has links to the site. Also, it's sitemap has been recently crawled in Bing webmaster tools which Yahoo uses.
        Why does our client have the backlink accounted for and we do not?

        The difference in backlink visibility between your client's competitor and your domain (harmonyhit.com) on the Link Explorer tool could be due to several factors. It's important to consider that not all backlinks are immediately detected or updated by all backlink analysis tools.

        Here are some possible reasons:

        Data Lag: Backlink analysis tools may not have real-time data. It takes time for them to discover and update backlinks. The competitor's link may have been discovered and indexed before yours.

        Crawling and Indexing: Search engines like Yahoo and Bing have their own crawling and indexing schedules. Your client's link may have been indexed by Yahoo before the Link Explorer tool updated its database.

        Website Authority: The competitor's website may have a higher authority, making its backlinks more visible to backlink analysis tools. It's essential to continue building your website's authority and backlinks.

        Private or Nofollow Links: Some backlinks may be marked as nofollow or hidden from public view. These may not be immediately visible in backlink analysis tools.

        Data Sources: Different tools use different data sources, and their coverage can vary. It's possible that the Link Explorer tool may not have access to the same data sources as Yahoo or Bing.

        To ensure your backlinks are accurately accounted for, continue to focus on building high-quality backlinks, monitor your website's performance in different SEO tools, and give it time for these tools to update their databases. Additionally, regularly submit your sitemap and monitor your website's indexing status in webmaster tools to facilitate better visibility on search engines. (best digital marketing agency )

          Open Site Explore page titles show as "No Title"

          This has been asked many times but I cannot find an answer. On Open Site Explorer, most URLs I enter show as "No title" which means you have to hover over the URL to see which page is being referred to. I know you'd want an example, so here's your own site Moz.com 🙂 CWrkxZQ
