Just Discovered Links not appearing in main index
-
Hi
Around October, November (and ongoing since then) we had some links appear in the "just discovered" index of OSE, and yet they've never made it into the main list of domains linking to the website.
We have amassed quite a few links from various domains that seem to get picked up in "Just Discovered", but not by the standard list of links to our site
Is there any reason for this?

There are a few different things going on here. Just discovered links are separate from the main OSE index, "This report is driven by a new SEOmoz index that is independent from the Mozscape index, and is populated with URLs that are shared on Twitter," from: http://moz.com/blog/announcing-the-just-discovered-links-report, and is a function of the Moz Fresh Web Explorer. For those links to then go into OSE they have to be added to the overall index and processed as part of the next update. With both tools though you're able to interact quickly with new links, while accomplishing long term planning with OSE and its competitor comparison features. Here's the location of the update schedule: http://moz.com/products/api/updates
And Rand's latest Q&A about what the last update (Jan 27) accomplished: http://moz.com/community/q/have-questions-about-the-jan-27th-mozscape-index-update-get-answers-here
As long as your links from just discovered get crawled and recorded by OSE, eventually they'll show up. Cheers!

Is Moz's backlink checker.... just... not good?
Hey everyone! Can somebody explain to me why this keeps happening: Whenever I'm trying to backlink my competitors, I typically use RavenTools. Every time, without fail, if I put that same URL into Moz's Open Site Explorer - It gives me about 1/20th of what RavenTools shows me. Sometimes it literally comes up with 2 or 3 links total. Unfortunately, RavenTools has a cap on how many backlink checks you can perform in a month - so once I've used those up, I have to start using OSE... But, it just doesn't work. Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks!

Does Feedburner URL of the Home Page Carry Link Equity?
Hi There, During an SEO Audit, I found that OSE categorizes Feedburner URL of root domains under link-equity passing and followed. For example, the following link has been categorized under link-equity passing and followed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/SpoonflowerBlog I have heard that a lot of SEOs saying feedburner links don't carry any link juice. If that's true, then why does OSE categorize feedburner URL of root domains under link-equity passing and followed? I would appreciate if someone from the Moz staff could take some to answer this. Thanks.

Open Site Explorer Only showing 2 Internal Links
Hi, for some reason Open Site Explorer only shows 2 internal links linking to our homepage (and other pages). When looking at a competitors site, they have thousands of internal links to their homepage! Are there any reasons why OSE is only showing 2 for our site, when in fact there are hundreds and thousands? Thanks.
