Inbound Links Updated Frequency
-
Hi,
How frequently is the inbound link report updated? I have added a number of inbound links this week, but they are not showing in Moz
Thanks

Hi there,
As Sanka has said, it can take a few days before Moz adds links to Link Explorer after it has discovered the link. It's really important to remember that the Moz crawler won't be the same or even as powerful as search engine crawlers. So try not to worry too much if you're building good links but Moz hasn't discovered them yet.
It's worth using Google Search Console alongside Moz which can give you another data set from which to see where you're getting links from. Again, it may not report everything, but it can give you another source of data to use.
Hope that helps!

As MOZ says, It takes about three dates to crawl and update the link profile.

It’s important to note that if a link has been recently added to a page, it can take some time for our crawler to find it and add it to the index. After being found, newly discovered links have the ability to be populated into our index in about 3 days however the discovery date is not necessarily indicative of when a link was created. Our link index is always growing so links that are older, newer, and everything in between may be discovered along the way.

Ecomerce: Would 4 link sections leak too much link juice?
Hello, In my content management for our ecomerce site, I've found that there are sometimes links to sites in our industry that have "helpful links" sections. Several strong sites link directly to these resource sections. There are 4 different topics that fit this trend in our industry. Would it leak too much link juice to make 4 comprehensive link sections and place a link to them on our "Useful Articles" page? Or should I stick to one comprehensive link section? Or perhaps a small link section? Or none at all? Thanks.

Back Links
Hi there, I have been guest posting on blogs trying to build some back-links into my website, which so far is going not too bad, however I was wondering when writing these guest posts should I limit my post to let's say 2 back-links per guest post? If 2 back-links are going to different pages on my website, does the first back-links in the guest post have more value than the 2nd back-link? Kind Regards,

Where are all the sites that are linking to me?
I need to compile a list of all the siters linking to my site, but my open site explorer analysis shows very few links. I know for certain that there are many many more sites linking to it (it's an academic site and there are links to it from a lot of academic directories). What am I doing wrong?

Total Links vs Ext. Followed Links
Hi I'm fairly new to SEO and SEOMOZ. I've created a campaign for my own site and I've added 3 competitor sites. There are 1,385 total links to my site and a massive 49,450 links to one of my competitor's site. However under "Ext. Followed Links", there are 1,045 to my site and only 911 to the same competitor site. Am I correct that it is the "Ext. Followed Links" which are more important from an SEO point of view as the other links have the "no follow" attribute set? Or have I got this wrong? Thanks James
