New links not showing in site explorer ?
-
I have built links to my site this past month that I know are live and in place and some do follow and some no follow ...
Are the no follow links just not going to show up in my site explorer data ?
And the others - why would they not be showing up yet ?
SeoMoz updated thier link data aug 1st , my site has been crawled since then ,
but this new work I have done for link building have not shown up - None of them ?
Its like I did not do any work ?
how long could it take for them to show up and affect my site trust ect ?
Also is there anything I vould be doing to speed the process up of having the new links found ?

Google makes no promises that it will show you all of the links that it knows about, and also makes no promises that the links that it shows count for anything. They have publicly admitted they do not count links from UpDowner, for example, to the relief of many webmasters.
At the beginning of your response, you state your website rankings have improved. That is one report you can show the client. Other things to look at for your client are their traffic and how that has changed -- have those links given the client any referral traffic? has the client's organic traffic increased on keywords you've been targeting? has your client made more conversions? Page and Domain authority are nice, but they don't pay the client's mortgage. Find things that help show to the client what you have done is my suggestion.

O.K.
I logged into google webmaster and found 32 linking domains in there.
I am a new user to Seomoz and am just trying to get things clear.
My website rankings have improved,
I am doing some tedious link building and am trying to figure out how much work (links) i am doing is helping my sites actual rankings.
I need to know what to tell my seo clients and need to show results on these reports
my report on here shows 9 linking domains
Google webmaster shows 32 linking domains
and I know I have built links that are live that are not even showing up in Google webmaster account.
I need to understand the time frame so I can explain to my clients when i can show results of my workks effect on website score/links/domain trust ect.
If Why are some links not showing in Google ?
Do they just not show you all of them ?
Why are at least the ones in My webmaster account not showing on my Seomoz reports
Also i read somewhere that when you build a new link you should ping it so it shows up faster ? Have you heard this ? Does it help ?
I have to do a report for a client that does not show any improvement at all knowing i have bulit at least 70 new links back to thier site ... Im a little frustrated and don't want to lose the client.
I was hoping to be able to send a professional looking report not just aa excell file of link addresses.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
Thank you in advance !

Hi! The last data update is showing link information from crawls in Mid-May to Mid-July, with more details available at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/august-mozscape-update. Have you looked in Google Webmaster Tools and Bing Webmaster Center for your incoming links and see if they've shown up there yet? Google and Bing both have bigger server farms than we do, and can show you the information a bit faster.

Google Indexed Site A's Content On Site B, Site C etc
Hi All, I have an issue where the content (pages and images) of Site A (www.ericreynolds.photography) are showing up in Google under different domains Site B (www.fastphonerepair.com), Site C (www.quarryhillvet.com), Site D (www.spacasey.com). I believe this happened because I installed an SSL cert on Site A but didn't have the default SSL domain set on the server. You were able to access Site B and any page from Site A and it would pull up properly. I have since fixed that SSL issue and am now doing a 301 redirect from Sites B, C and D to Site A for anything https since Sites B, C, D are not using an SSL cert. My question is, how can I trigger google to re-index all of the sites to remove the wrong listings in the index. I have a screen shot attached so you can see the issue clearer. I have resubmitted my site map but I'm not seeing much of a change in the index for my site. Any help on what I could do would be great. Thanks

UK version of site showing US Cache and meta description
Hi Fellow Moz'ers We seem to have an issue where some of our UK site is showing meta descriptions from our US site in the serp's and when you check the cache: of the site it's brining up the .com instead of the .co.uk site. example: cache:https://www.tinyme.co.uk/name-labels shows the US site We've checked the href lang tags and they look ok to me (but i'm not an expert) https://www.tinyme.co.uk/name-labels" hreflang="en-gb"/> https://www.tinyme.com/name-labels" hreflang="en-us"/> https://www.tinyme.com.au/name-labels" hreflang="x-default" /> https://www.tinyme.com.au/name-labels" hreflang="en-au"/> We've had a search around and seen people have similar issues, but cant seem to find a definitive solution.

Strange site link on Google for a Facebook result
A Facebook page targetted to US Hispanics (with content in Spanish and English) is showing me a hindi sitelink underneath the main Facebook link when I google (in the US, English) for the page [ page name facebook]. We don't have any content in hindi, or targetted to that audience. If I click on the sitelink while logged out of facebook, I can see it takes me to a facebook subdomain of hi-in. When I'm logged in it just redirects me to the same page. Any idea why this could be happening?

How will this affect the rankings and traffic of the new site once this happens?
Hi, we will be moving a clients’ site address from one domain to another and will of course be doing 301 redirects and notifying Google of the site address change in WMT. The problem is, that at some point in the future (say 3-6 months), the old domain will be going live with a new site as the current client does not own the domain and the owner will be wanting it back unfortunately. How will this affect the rankings and traffic of the new site (new domain) once this (old domain with new site) happens? Will the site address change be enough to keep the rankings but it will lose backlink traffic? Or will rankings go down since the 301 redirects will in essence no longer be in affect? Many thanks for your help in advance.

Google WMT Turning 1 Link into 4,000+ Links
We operate 2 ecommerce sites. The About Us page of our main site links to the homepage of our second site. It's been this way since the second site launched about 5 years ago. The sites sell completely different products and aren't related besides both being owned by us. In Webmaster Tools for site 2, it's picking up ~4,100 links coming to the home page from site 1. But we only link to the home page 1 time in the entire site and that's from the About Us page. I've used Screaming Frog, IT has looked at source, JavaScript, etc., and we're stumped. It doesn't look like WMT has a function to show you on what pages of a domain it finds the links and we're not seeing anything by checking the site itself. Does anyone have experience with a situation like this? Anyone know an easy way to find exactly where Google sees these links coming from?

How would I know if Google is showing me as two separate sites?
I work for a company that is (for example) www.neat-stuff.com, most people just type in www.neatstuff.com. I think that we are being counted as a site twice. Any suggestions as to how to know for sure? If you want to know why I am asking this here is the link http://www.seomoz.org/q/redirect-help

New site now links disappearing in Open Site Explorer and GWT
We launched a new site at the beginning of December 2012 and carefully 301'd all URLs from the old site to the new (custom CMS on old site wordpress on new). Our rankings have slipped quite badly but the most worrying thing is that we used to have about 1200 backlinks according to GWT/OSE before the new site launched and now we're down to about 30. Can anyone help shed some light on this please? The site is www.littleoneslondon.co.uk A few things that might help: 1. We were getting a lot of links through our job feeds (it's a nanny recruitment site) on indeed and trovitt, for some reason no new ones from these have appeared in site explorer and all the old jobs are gone completely. 2. We had 1000s of not found errors in google webmaster tools and once these were redirected and marked as fixed this is when the links disappeared. 3. We are getting quite a few 504 errors on the site due to an old proxy redirect (/blog was hosted on a different server on the old site and has not been removed yet), this will be fixed tomorrow but could this be a factor? 4. The developer seems to have redirected all the links through wordpress directly some how (I don't see any redirect plugins but there are lots of pages called 'redirect'). There are no references in the htaccess file for any redirects other than from the /blog folder that the wordpress instance sits in. Sorry for the long post, I hope I've given any details you'd need and I really appreciate any help anyone can give. Thanks, Karl
