Majestic can't make up it's mind

    I just got a shiny new backlink from a pretty decent website.

    It's DO FOLLOW, and was being shown by Majestic as Do Follow and it increased my CF and TF by a half-dozen points.

    I checked my backlinks again this morning, and it's now reporting the same backlink as NO FOLLOW, and my CF and TF are gone.

    The backlink is still DO FOLLOW according to inspect element, so I don't see what happened?

    Here are my questions:

    1) Has this happened to you?

    2) If Majestic is showing this, will Google be confused too?

    3) Should I worry about it?


    I just started link building on this site - as it's brand new.

    I have built about 10 so far, here is how some sites are reporting:

    Google Webmaster Tools: 0
    Moz Pro: 0
    Ahrefs: 4
    Majestic: 1

    Just in case anyone else comes across the same issue...

    I contacted Majestic and it appears it was a bug with their system.

    It still seems like Ahrefs is the fastest at discovering backlinks.

    Unfortunately nobody can give us exact information about backlinks - that's internet.
    And I'am glad that google and other SE don't use majestics data for ranking.

    Agreed, some information is better then none.
