OSE - Link Opportunities
-
I'm checking out this new Link Opportunities feature for one of our sites and what I'm seeing right now is pretty disappointing.
For Reclaim Links, everything listed is an internal link on our site. It's got tons of URLs from our old Iciniti structure (replatformed to Magento mid-March). It's crawling tons of stuff that's blocked in robots. There are no links from external domains in the first 5 pages.
For Unlinked Mentions, it's showing tons of mentions - 33,566 to be exact, a ridiculous number - mostly from news sites like Forbes, WSJ, Guardian, CNN, etc. These sites are not mentioning us. It's set up to look only for our brand name or domain name, so I don't know how it's thinking there are all these nonexistent mentions.
What's going on with Link Opportunities?

Hey Autoschieber,
There's no manual refresh unfortunately.
The Reclaim Links report refreshes with every MozScape index update. So you'll see those changes reflected in the report when MozScape re-crawls the site at the beginning of November.

Is there a place where I can hit refresh. We relaunched our Site Kfz.net a few month ago and a lot of links where broken and had 404 responses (some fixed some not).
The page is showing a lot of links that are returning http 200 now. How can I refresh?

Hey,
Thanks for the feedback.
You can think of Reclaim Links as a curated list of your Top Pages. They're URLs on your site that have links pointing to them but can't rank or pass link equity due to problematic server responses or other conditions (4xx for example). The idea is to fix broken pages or adjust from 302 to 301 redirects when appropriate. There's a bit more information in the help hub.
In terms of Unlinked Mentions, if you want to narrow your results you can use Fresh Web Explorer operators to exclude certain terms/phrases. If you think the results are flat out inaccurate it's something we'll definitely want to dig into on our end. Feel free to send the domain you're searching for to the Help team and we can do some investigation.

Hi
It seems to be working ok for us, however whats your brand name?
If your brand is something like cheaplaptops then this is going to appear on these sites, when they are talking about cheap laptops, but they aren't obviously mentioning you.
I will take a look if you can send me your url or brand name.
Thanks
Andy

Moz Pro: Linking RDs to Page much lower than Google Search Console
I'm trying to use the Analyze Keyword tool in Moz Pro, and in the SERP Analysis table, my page has a PA of one, and zero root domains linking to it. If I look at the page in Google Search console, it says I have 229 root domains linking to the page from well known domains like github.com, meetup.com, stackoverflow.com, etc. This particular keyword has been tracked in Moz for the last 6 months, but I just noticed that it was extremely low. I am relatively new to Moz, so forgive me if I sound confused, but can someone explain to me how the numbers can be so low?

Why Moz Back links check tool is very Slow compared with other tools?
I've created a new website 50 days old with a vision of sharing high-quality content. I created some pages which are useful and helpful, what make other people link to my site. Early days, two weeks ago I've started checking my backlinks starting with Ahref and majestic. three days ago I decided to join Moz too and use Moz explorer. But, I discovered that Moz tool is too slow compared with other tools. Why? Starting with Ahref. They discovered more than 100 links and updating their data for my site as a new website every 6 hours as I know. Also majestic for the first time discovered six links then every two days they updating their data. Even Google discovered some of my backlinks. Specially links from high-quality sites such as Wikipedia with high-quality pages. Moz tool discovered zero of my backlinks even after subscribing. I don't think Moz need to discover websites like Wikipedia which already indexed by Moz. So, I wonder Why Moz tools are very very very slow like that? Update: (This is a question, not a discussion. So, please don't edit it) Can any Moz support answer please? Thanks.
