Link being indexed

[jameswalkerson]

So I found this link to my website on the huffington post

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/13/california-car-insurance-rates-vary-study_n_2122614.html

it's at the bottom in the "around the web" section. My question is this article has been around for almost 4 months yet the link does not show up in WMT. I would like to know if the link to http://www.shiftins.com is indexed and passing authority. Thank you.

WMT only updates their links every couple weeks, and it only shows some of your links. Since this page is indexed by Google, then it should be passing link value.

[William.Lau]

Your site is being indexed and is dofollow like others have mentioned. No one tool can grab every link on the web.

--NVM.

That link is showing up in OSE. It appears to be passing authority and when I checked the Google cache of that article (so it is definitely indexed), your link shows up so there isn't any kind of cloaking/trickery going on there. Have you tried downloading all of the URLs from GWT? Sometimes the table of links in GWT are not updated that often, but the link may show up when you try to download the CSV file.
