If you know that there is a page on the web with an inbound link pointing to your site that isn’t being indexed you can check to see if we've indexed the referring page on which that link is found.Ī quick way to check if a page that you know is linking to you has been indexed is to enter the URL into Link Explorer. Not Indexed or Crawled the Referring Page It may take longer for us to discover backlinks to your site based on factors like crawlability of the referring pages, as well as the quality of the links and the referring pages. Newly discovered links have the ability to be populated into our index in about 3 days. Pages with high-value links pointing to them will be crawled and indexed faster and more often. Our index is large but it doesn’t cover the whole web. We may not have discovered those links yet. If you’d like to keep an eye on links that point to your site which haven’t been indexed yet, add them to a Link Tracking Lists. You can read about some troubleshooting tips in our guide here.

Moz dotbot pro#
There are a few reasons why links to your pages might not be showing up in Link Explorer or the Links section of your Moz Pro Campaign. Most links in the index come from pages that were crawled less than 6 months ago. We currently try to re-crawl all high-quality pages at least every 90 days. In addition, links will not drop out of the index due to age, although they will show as Lost if we are no longer able to access or find that link when we go to recrawl the page on which it was originally found. Links which are newly discovered by our crawlers should be populated in Link Explorer and the Links section of your Campaign within about 3 days of being found.
Moz dotbot update#
This does not mean that DA and PA will change with every data update it will only change if we find new links to a respective site. We prioritize the links we crawl based on a machine learning algorithm to mimic Google's index. When discovered or lost links are found, we'll update our database to reflect those changes in your scores and link counts. This includes updating the data which powers each section of Link Explorer, including Linking Domains, Discovered and Lost, and Inbound Links. The index that powers Link Explorer is constantly updating to provide fresh link data. How Often Does the Moz Link Index Update? So the results are not based on any one particular metric, but we're training the crawler to start with high-value links. We feed the machine learning model with features of the URL, like the backlink counts for the URL and the PLD (pay-level domains), features about the URL, like its length and how many subdirectories it has, and features on the quality of the domains linking to the URL and PLD. Our web crawler, Dotbot, is built on a machine learning-based model that is optimized to select pages like those that appear in our collection of Google SERPs. This data allows us to understand how Google rankings work and calculate metrics like Page Authority and Domain Authority.

Our Link index data is gathered by crawling and indexing links, just like Googlebot does to populate Google’s search results.
