Links aren't showing up in SEOMOZ resports
-
Hi,
I've been building links to my client's website for the past 3 weeks. I know that there are several sites that link to my client's website now but SEOMOZ's link analyses says there aren't any sites linking to my client's website.
Anybody know what's up with that?
Sincerely,
Rex

Yep - crawls are at intervals. If you go to opensiteexplorer you'll see "Last Index Update: Oct. 8th 2012" (or whichever other date it is. We all have to be patient. I'm also waiting for one of my sites to show the latest changes. For a current client who wants changes by peak season in December - January, I'm already rolling out changes now. Good luck

Seomoz updates opensiteexplorer Index at least every 4 weeks
Looks like the next update is on Monday, Nov 5, 2012. Right around the corner.

I hope after 5 November when you check your links. You see different report.
Thanks KLLC

There are two factors you need to consider here:
-
SEOmoz updates Linkscape on about a monthly interval. You can see the next update is scheduled on November 5th. https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/345964-linkscape-update-schedule
-
Linkscape crawls a sample portion of the web. There is no guarantee your link is going to be found by Roger.
Here is what I would do for the client:
- Keep your own spreadsheet with the links that you've built.
- Download the 'latest links' report in Google Webmaster Tools. This seems update only a few days behind.
- If a link doesn't appear in GWT, perhaps the page you got the link from is not indexed. Post it on G+, Tweet it, whatever. Try to get it indexed.
Open Site Explorer is a great tool for analyzing backlinks and for trends, but it is not perfect. No backlink analysis tool is. It may show a link you've built one month only to disappear the next month because Roger crawled a different set of pages. That doesn't mean your link has disappeared or has any less value to Google.

Rex,
Another thing you may want to do, check Google Webmasters. Sometimes the information on there is updated faster than the SEOmoz tool.
Best Regards

Hi Rex,
It takes time for the the Link Analysis to crawl through the pages and links associated with them.
I have had links to my site which were created over 6 weeks ago which are beginning to filter through to the system now.
Be patient and your hard work of creating (the high quality, industry specific) links will show.
Thanks
ST

Why Links from Top Level Domains doesn't Pass Link Equity?
Hello, I have a doubt about Equity-Passing links report of OpensiteExplorer.org According to Sam Weber http://moz.com/community/users/432678 links which pass value from one page to another including followed 301 and Meta refresh links are under Equity-Passing links. I am surprising after looking at the links report generated by opensiteexplorer.org. Most of the article and directory links which have low DA and PA are under Equity-Passing links. Whereas websites like EzineArticle or Articlebase which have good DA and PA are not found in either Equity-passing links or under only nofollow category. Please suggest me if the report of Opensiteexplorer is not good enough or the links from the site like Ezine Article doesn’t pass the link equity. Thanks.

What are the pros and cons of using a link builder? Can link building be outsourced?
Hi, I have great content on my website which I would like to build external links to from other websites. I am told this will increase my domain authority and ultimately help search engine ranking positions. I have very limited time in my hands and now thinking of outsourcing the link building component to a specialist. Is this a good way of doing it? Could you recommend professional link builders?
