Keyword links are not showing up in majesticseo or open site explorer
-
I've been doing link building by writing good content and getting other blogs to post my articles with keyword links embedded.
One example is:
Original article: http://www.cleanedison.com/blog/setting-the-stage-for-greenbuild-2012-1997
Re-published article: http://www.renewableenergyfocus.com/blog/2012/11/7/guest-blog-setting-the-stage-for-greenbuild-2012/683.aspx
(Keyword is LEED Certification - it goes to http://www.cleanedison.com/leed)
I have 2 questions:
Why isn't this backlink being found by majesticseo or open site explorer?
Why isn't my original article showing up a google search at all?
P.S. Overall, despite my best efforts, my keyword rankings have been falling recently, is there anything obvious that I'm doing wrong?

Hi,
So I spent time last week reducing the number of "LEED" mentions on the http://www.cleanedison.com/leed
But I got my keyword reports again today and the page has fallen out of the top 50 for "LEED Certification" - I can't even find it in Google searches anymore
Just two weeks ago both http://www.cleanedison.com/leed and http://www.cleanedison.com/courses/leed-green-associate were ranked 31 and 32 (not great, but still generating traffic)
What is going on?!?!
P.S. The link did show up in MajesticSEO, so that's good I guess

yes by looking at those pages you might be facing the same issue with them. It's tough to estimate which keyword is getting you the penalty but i think it's safe to assume that the keyword you're using the most on a page might be culprit. The backlinks might not be showing up because they might not have indexed this link as yet. The backlink tools like majestic do not report all the links for a site with 100% accuracy.

Thanks for your quick reply.
I see what you're saying, I had been doing that in order to fit in my main keywords such as LEED Certification, LEED Green Associate, LEED Exam Prep, but I didn't realize that those all have LEED in them.
Might I be running into the same problem with "Solar" on http://www.cleanedison.com/solar and with "BPI" on http://www.cleanedison.com/bpi-and-resnet ?
If so, how do I know which words are expected to be common and which I might be getting an over optimization penalty?
Also, would an over optimization penalty explain why the back links aren't showing up on majesticseo?

Hi Avraam,
On the Leed page (www.cleanedison.com/leed) the keyword Leed has been used over 20 times and you might be facing the impact of the over optimization penalty. Try to reduce the focus on this keyword on the page . More info here.

Internal Linking - Post links vs Side Bar Links behaving differently
Hi, I have a question regarding the internal linking behavior. My website is www.hindimeaning.com which is approx 3 years old. I have approx 450 posts. Now i have a widget on right sidebar "Popular posts". A widget below my posts "Related Posts". And a simple html CSS menu above the posts (I removed menu around 6 month before so currently it will not show.) I crawled my site with moz crawler (same are the result from google crawler as well) and it shows menus links as internal links. While sidebar widget "Popular posts" and "Related Posts" are not showing as internal links. If we talk theoretically what i learn till now is "every link on a page behaves as internal link". Then why the widget links are not showing as internal links. Thanks, Mahesh Kumar

Link building from keyword domains
Hi all, I am currently working on link building to our site http://www.betxpert.com which has a number of keywords I am targeting. I have become aware that domains with the keywords are available. We (in Danish) target the phrase "ekpert tips" and the domain www.eksperttips.dk is available. Would it be a good thing for us, to register this domain and do one of the following things: a) DNS forward traffic to our main site b) Build a small blog with minor content and linking to the main site with text links with the tekst "ekspert tips"? c) Simply do nothing, save the money and spend it otherwise... Hope someone can give me a sound advice. Best regards, Rasmus

If Google truly penalizes sites for bad linking, could my competitor sabotage me?
I am sure this has been discussed before (I am new). I am very paranoid about upsetting Google with questionable SEO practices. The white hat people sometimes claim that google will penalize you for bad linking, paying for links, buying social bookmarks etc. If this is true, could my competitor do this for my site to lower my rankings? I would never know about it until it was too late. If they can't do this to me, then what's to stop me from doing it to my own site? Maybe I am missing something here. Thanks for your input.
