Why isn't MOZ picking up my social media and backlinks?

Hi guys, I've got the MOZ bar for Google Chrome and can clearly see that it's not picking up all my social media activity and backlinks.

Admittedly my website is only 3 weeks old, but when I activate the MOZ bar and click on Page Analysis, Link Metrics, it says I have zero external followed links when I've building up quality followed links over the last 3 weeks, and the MOZbar even tells me these links are followed when I use the Highlight links option. Any idea what could be causing this?

My second problem is that MOZ isn't picking up my facebook or twitter activity. I have over 100 posts in both of them but MOZ is saying i only have 8 and 10 respectfully?!?!

If anybody has any ideas as to what might be going on i'd really appreciate any input.

Thanks guys

    MOZ only updates every month or so and it may take several updates to get most of the links.

    BTW, I spotted a Getty Images photo on your site; did you pay them for that as they are very litigious?

    Is Moz toolbar supposed to get the social media activity you're describing? This activity is not really related to SEO, but they might query the API for activity that's connected to a site or page.

    As cbpayne pointed out it takes time for these companies to crawl and index stuff, and they may never find all the backlinks. Many social-ish sites are hard to crawl.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?
