How to tell OSE about new backlinks
-
I've recently obtained some great backlinks from popular news sites but OSE hasn't picked up on them yet. Is there a way to "show" OSE what's happened, or do I just have to wait?
-
No Problem. As other posters said, it may take some time till the new crawl results are updated in OSE.
I have noticed many links to our site that are not included in OSE.

My observations are then if you add a site with existing links, OSE then trys to add pages that link to that site, as they seem to apear the next crawl, but are not theior already

ive had the same problem before. It is only a matter of time before OSE picks up on them, but unfortunately there is nothing you can to do expedite the process. If you are looking to build a report Google Webmaster tools or yahoo site explorer has a more complete link profile available for most websites. If you want to pull an SEOmoz report for a client though, your domain authority is derived from links that OSE gathers (from what i can tell), so you may want to explain that to your client and also show them the link profile from the sites suggested above.
Hope that helps!

OSE shows links based on the Linkscape crawl of the web. The crawl itself takes 2-3 weeks, and then the data is processed which takes 1-2 weeks. The next OSE update will occur on October 18th. Depending on when the links were added they may or may not appear in the next update. If not, they should definitely appear in November's update.
Realistically there is nothing more you can do speed up the process.

Yeah, I want to see where I stand vs my competitors.
Thanks for the quick answer.

There is no way to show OSE backlinks. OSE uses a web crawler that finds links automatically. It will not find every link, but should find most.
Any reason you want it to show in OSE?

Anyone seeing ose csv exports hanging?
None of my reports are completing - even if left to run overnight - anyone else seeing this? There was mention of this in http://www.seomoz.org/q/problems-with-ose-downloads but I get the sense from that thread that the problem was solved back in August.

OSE Linking Domains CSV Export Blank?
For some client domains, I've tried to do a CSV export from the OSE Linking Domains page, I get a CSV that contains the typical OSE header text, but no output records. Before I click the CSV link I always choose "show domains with links to All pages on the Root Domain". It doesn't happen with every domain I've tried this with, and when I've had the time/patience, some of the time if I try hours later, I get data. The problem though is I rarely have the luxury of running reports a second time during the audit cycle. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a bug, or just an export fail due to system resources or something?

Question about when new crawls start
Hi everyone, I'm currently using the trial of seomoz and I absolutely love what I'm seeing. However, I have 2 different websites (one has over 10,000 pages and one has about 40 pages). I've noticed that the smaller website is crawled every few days. However, the larger site hasn't been crawled in a few days. Although both campaigns state that the sites won't be crawled until next Monday, is there any way to get the crawl to start sooner on the large site? The reason that I've asked is that I've implemented some changes that will likely decrease the amount of pages that are crawled simply based upon the recommendations on this site. So, I'm excited to see the potential changes. Thanks, Brian

Analysing competitors' backlinks?
I am doing some competitor analysis and one thing that I want to know is how many links my competitors have and how many different domains link to their sites. I got some figures on this both from the SEO Moz toolbar and from Majestic SEO. My problem is that the figues are massively different. E.g. SEO Moz says 9657 links from 95 domains, Majestic says 4895 links from 1722 domains. Who do I believe? And where do each of these tools get their data from?
