Hello Mozzers, and happy Monday!
My name is Brad Friedman, Technical Lead for Mozscape, and I'm happy to announce that we've released a brand new Mozscape index for April. You can find fresh, new data across all of our apps. Check out Open Site Explorer, the Mozbar, your PRO campaigns, and the Mozscape API.
We've reduced our index crawl time to just eleven days for this release! Thanks to our Big Data wizards on the processing team, Douglas Vojir and Martin York, for improving the freshness of our metrics! You can read more details on our technical improvements in this post from February.
We started processing this index on Wednesday, April 10, so the metrics will reflect crawl data from the end of March and the first week of April.
Here are the numbers for this latest index:
- 88,973,525,592 (88 billion) URLs
- 9,077,621,093 (9.1 billion) Subdomains
- 161,124,038 (161 million) Root Domains
- 887,067,310,285 (887 billion) Links
-
Followed vs. Nofollowed
- 2.15% of all links found were nofollowed
- 56.0% of nofollowed links are internal
- 44.0% are external
- Rel Canonical - 15.08% of all pages use a rel=canonical tag
-
The average page has 76 links on it
- 65.05 internal links
- 11.02 external links
And these are the correlations with Google's US search results:
- Page Authority - 0.36
- Domain Authority - 0.19
- MozRank - 0.24
- Linking Root Domains - 0.30
- Total Links - 0.25
- External Links - 0.29
All this delicious data! What a great way to start off the week, huh?

Boom! Great job Mozscape team! It's so awesome to see you guys getting the data out so quickly and so fresh. Well done to all!
Thanks! Glad you like Mozscape. We hope to get even quicker in the near future!
Fresh AND a large index. Getting back up in size is definitely as important to some things we do as a fast/fresh update is. Thanks!!
I'm glad the new index is helpful!
Congratulate Mozscape team...!!! Great job :)
Hope i will get something new and more helpful resources from it. Great job bradfriedman :)
Wow, so quick. Cheers dear team members, thanking you all
Moz scape finds stuff that is not in webmasters tools for a longtime. Is there some correlation between links in ose recently discovered links and links that appear in webmasters tools. I feel like ose has much more of an accurate account of the links that I have coming in. Should I be worried google is not finding my backlinks?
Interesting to see that PA correlates better than external links.
That's a good observation! For the past year at least, Page Authority has been better correlated with Google than the external links figures. We're aiming to improve correlations for all stats with each new release!
Wasn't there a error with the previous update last month or something? I recieved a note on OSE.
Great job Mozscape team was amazing with so quickly can give good results, good work, worthy of admire
Awesome job Mozscape! Greatly appreciated!
Unfortunately, I didn't see any improvement this update.Holding thumbs for the next one!
I have not found information as valuable as this, at least for me. I hope you continue sharing your knowledge with us
Wow, that's fast! :-)
I'm really looking forward to significant increases in SEOmoz's index size. (*fingers crossed*) I feel I need to keep a Majestic SEO subscription to get enough backlink data, because their index is so much larger than SEOmoz's. For example, here are the stats for our company site:
GWT and Majestic Fresh are about the same size, but SEOmoz is about 1/6 the size!
im the biggest mozParameters fan,but this is the worst one yet for me :\My website went down from authority 50 to 46 while all of the backlinks are still alive,and OSE still hasn't discovered major links to my site, like a microsoft link that was put up 2 months ago.
Great work moz team! I know you've had a little trouble with the index lately, but I very much appreciate the work you do!
Interesting to see how SEomoz's Mozscape is growing month by month! :)
Excellent!! I totally love the month to month update!!! Go SEOMOZ!
Nice comeback after then problems earlier during the month!
