Old data in OSE?
-
Hello,
I know the Mozscape was recently updated, but it's been a week and my site data ( DA, number of backlinks) in Open Site Explorer is still the same. The seomoz toolbar and my pro tools show my DA has increased ( I don't know of another way to verify my backlink count, so I'm not sure on that front). Any idea of the reason behind the disparity?
Thanks.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for the reply. I understand how to pull numbers for the root domain, but I was just noting that the number in OSE is the exact same as it was prior to the most recent Mozscape update. It just seems odd that I would have the exact same number of links.
Also, any thoughts on why no update for the Domain Authority?

Hey Rich!
Thanks for writing in and sorry for the confusion there! It looks like the number that you're looking at in the Web App Competitive Domain Analysis tab is the total amount of links to the entire subdomain, but the number you're looking at in Open Site Explorer is the total amount of links to that page only. Sorry about the ambiguity there! The numbers at the top of OSE all pertain solely to that URL rather than to the whole subdomain or root domain, but you can get information about the whole subdomain or root domain by going here (as an example): http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/www.seomoz.org/a!metrics. Here's a screenshot of the numbers: http://markup.io/v/djd8djeptg5n. You can also look at all the links going to the sub/root domain by changing the filters in the "Linking Pages" tab.

Hey,
I seem to be getting some old data too - just links from websites that are no longer active. Don't think it's anything to worry about, just knuckle down on your site and check back in a week or so to see if any changes have been made. As long as you know what you've been doing (by keeping a log of it), there's nothing to worry about.
On the plus side, your DA has increased - that's gotta be worth a smile and a pat on the back!

How often does Moz data update when leveraging it through Supermetrics for Datastudios?
Good Afternoon, A pretty straightforward question: How often does Moz data update when leveraging it through Super-metrics for Data studios? I noticed that the "time last crawled" metric had some URLs not crawled in over 2 months... wondering if there's a way to speed it up on Moz's end.

OSE vs google webmaster link data
Hiya experts, I am trying to understand the OSE. One thing I noticed is that OSE shows 12 linking root domains to our site. However, google webmasters show more than 90(that have kinks to pages on our site). And these are not new links, some of these date back to Apr 2011. Is there something very obvious I am missing here? Thanks for your help. Regards, Raman.

New campain which give exactly same results as a completed old one after 2 hours
I started a campain a long time ago. 10,372 pages have been crawled and I have the results. Great. I started a new campain today (after migration of new code) and after two hours, the campain shows excatly the same results than what the the previous one completed in 4 days, as if it was the same crawl. Then the crawl stops and we see that the next one is in 7 days... Before there was a way to launch a campain after code modification to see right away the benefits. How can we do to see ifi the changes brought something without waiting for the next crawl? Thank you.

Strange Links in OSE
Hey seomozers, The most recent Linkscape update has created some strange links to our domain. They are links which when I navigate to are download links, here is one example: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.9/updates/x86_64/headers/kernel-largesmp-0-2.6.9-89.0.25.EL.x86_64.hdr Now this links has nothing to do with our site and I can't see how it would count as a link to our domain, can anyone shed some light on why these types of links are being crawled as a link to our domain? Thanks Nigel
