I checked all links to my site (not too many at all)
http://oasisoftheseasallureoftheseas.com/
and discovered that very important link – from my supplier,
Royal Caribbean International is not listed at all.Some links with ‘nofollow’ tags show up but not this one.
RCI source here
Any ideas?

Thank you Joel!

Hi there,
The links that are on pages that don't require any java and aren't generated dynamically are easier to crawl and will reflect on your site.
If you haven't already, I recommend to read through the Open Site Explorer FAQ: http://www.seomoz.org/help/open-site-explorer-faq
Thanks,
Joel.

Joel, please clarify if all links from static pages produce links to my web site. How to identify if profile page generate a real libk to my web site?

Hi there,
I checked it out and I don't see your site linked to from the RCI page. It's possible that if they do link to you, it's something generated from a search string, which is often not indexed by us so the link may not have been found.
Our Crawler (Roger) is real good about finding the deep pages as long as there is a thread to them. If there are no links or it needs some sort of Java, it probably won't be found, sadly.
You may want to see if you can arrange to have them put a link on a static page.
I hope that helps.
Thanks,
Joel

Open Site Explorer crawls a lot of the web but some pages do get missed - normally because they're very minor in the grand scheme of things.
Unfortunately this also happens at Google at it looks like the page that links to you isn't in Google's index. Were I you I would try and build some links to that supplier's page so that Google can index your link.
Hope that helps.

Internal linking anchor text with automated ASP.NET link building
Hi Everyone I really need some help here, the problem I have must be one that many have. I have a simple e-commerce style website so 1 product page can in fact get 40-50 internal links to it. These links come from a mixture of: 1. The parent category pages that the product sits on (Rugged PDA) and in turn the 10 filter pages of this category page (Rugged PDA, ordered by battery size). 2. Alternative product list on other product pages, So many products link to each other as alternatives. From Google analytics we can see that visitors like to browse product to product seeing 5 alternatives on each page with titles like "Smaller", "more rugged" etc. 3. Manufactuer pages, so we have a link to each product from each manufacturer home page where we talk lots about each manufacture we resell. We also have links from images used in the website. So its a nice usable website but we're finding that Google is still telling us in Webmaster tools that it thinks some links are dubious and we're trying to find out why. We only now have 190 external links to the website, most are internal and from the website or our blog on a subdomain. The problem we think is that we generate the category and products pages all dynamically so the anchor text is looking the same. Will this potentially create issues for us? Dave

Buy links
I know that many of you are against the whole thing with buying links. Your feelings put aside. Will it be better for my site to buy links or even do link exchange? Haven´t the crawlers been thought by now how to find these untrue links? I have read somewhere that the stop after 100 links, aren´t they smarter than that?

Why aren't links to my site from YouTube showing up in my link reports?
Our company is paying for a service to create hundreds of videos/month for us with links back to our primary domain. If I go to YouTube I see the videos with the links, but YouTube does not show in my link reports. Why not?

Too many external links vs linking root domains - good or bad?
Hi guys, After the latest Linkscape update, we noticed that our website have 424,671 external links with 4,395 linking root domains, so roughly 100 links/domain. Does Google consider this to be a negative thing or we do not need to worry about it. Many thanks. David

If you are building links in forums how can you decide which forums to post to? Of course you can have a look at averall traffic in Alexa or mozrank but is there anything else you can look at?

Reciprocal links
Hi SEOmoz Pros, We have vendors from whom I was hoping to get links. To make it more enticing to them I was planning to select a small number of vendors (with good site metrics-PA, DA, PR) and create a "Featured Vendor" module on some pages that would link back to the vendor's site as well--thereby created reciprocal links. I was planning to only have one vendor to a page and only for the pages that we are targeting locally. My hope is to help boost the ranking of those pages. Is it okay to offer our vendors to link back to their site or should I ask for a one-way link back to our page and pitch it as exposure for their brand?? Lastly, does Google penalize for these types of links? Thanks!

Links on the same keyword
When is linking from one particular keyword to much. At what point could link building from one keyword be considered spam and potentially delist a site ? Is it possible for a site to be delisted for having to many links from the same keyword ? Heard linking from the website name is more important following recent changes. I try and link from a selection of 3 to 4 keywords. Thanks for your help
