Hi There,
As I am new to SEO, so the problem that I am listing below may seem very naive. Please help me out.
Please explain me the difference between the no of backlinks of the website, www.apollopowersystems.com as per the websites below. The nos are completely different as per the websites below:
As per www.moz.com the no is 23
As per www.ahrefs.com the no currently is 586
As per www.alexa.com the no is 50
Please tell me why these nos are different. Looking forward to hear from you at the earliest.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Devanur,Thanks for your response. It turned out to be an eye opener for me . I would surely follow what you suggested.
Thanks once again.

Hi Sawan, as David suggested, you need to consolidate the data from different tools as no one tool gives you a comprehensive list of backlinks. You can check out Google webmaster tools account for your website as it gives you very good list.
Just because you have backlinks, you will not be able to drive traffic. It depends on what kind of websites have your link. If you look at your link profile, you can see directories forming the major part. This is 2013 my friend. Generic web directory submissions will take you no where. You need to promote your website on niche directories. You operate in a very narrow, B2B
niche and you should ideally be getting listed on directories like, indiamart.com, indianindsustry.com, tradeindia.com, infobanc.com etc.You should also target websites or blogs or forums where people are talking about your niche who might be interested in your product line. You need a lot to be done on your website regarding on-page optimization also. You should perform a comprehensive keyword research and analysis to come up with the most searched keywords/phrases of your niche, optimize the content of your website for these keywords and so on. Essentially, you will be trying to make your website rank high in the search engines for good keywords in your niche.
Best of luck to you my friend.

Hi David,
Thanks for your response. I did what u suggested. Now I am getting a better picture of the no of backlinks. Your response was helpful. But I still have one doubt. What about Alexa and Moz ? Am I supposed to trust the no's provided by them? As these two are very popular tools, please help me clear my confusion.
Thanks in advance.

Just following on from what David Liu said about Ahrefs, you might find this a very interesting read:
http://www.matthewwoodward.co.uk/experiments/ahrefs-majestic-seo-1-million-domain-showdown/
That being said, I believe Majestic found more backlinks here, although as you will see in that article there is a difference between links reported, and live links.

There is no one best tool for looking at backlinks. AHREFs seems to have the biggest dataset, but they'll all give you different results. If you really want to see what you have, use OSE, Majestic, AHREFs, and any others you like, put them all in one spreadsheet and remove duplicates. Then you'll have your true backlinks picture.

Thanks Mr. Devanur for your response.
I understood what you are saying. But can you please tell me which is the most reliable source to track the no of backlinks. I have heard that www.ahrefs.com is the best out there. Please let me know. Also inspite of the increase in the no of backlinks the traffic to the website is not increasing. Please suggest what is the solution for increasing the traffic to that website. Looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks and Regards
Sawan

Yeh, I also use Ahrefs \ Majestic in combination with Moz for this reason, although I only subscribe to those services when needed.

Hi,
I just checked the backlinks to www.apollopowersystems.com using Moz OSE and it says, 161 total links and 58 root domains linking to it. When checked with MajeticSE OSE, I got 858 total links and 148 domains.
Just wanted to let you know that different tools have different data update intervals and frequencies and no two tools will show you the same data. For more info about the backlinks, you can check the Google Webmaster Tools account for the website in discussion. Hope that help. Please feel free to post all your queries you might have in this regard.
Best,
Devanur Rafi

Accidentally generated navigation links that point to American site from Australian site.
Somehow we ended up getting hundreds-of-thousands of links coming from our .au (Australia site) to our .com (America site). We believe that something happened during a change that turned a handful of our example.com.au navigational and footer links into back links pointing to example.com and sub-domains of the American version. We are currently fixing this, but we are wondering if this could potentially be problematic in terms of a penguin penalty due to an unnatural linking campaign or back link scheme. Could this error create major problems for us in the near future if we have corrected the issue? Your thoughts are welcome! Thanks!

Creating your own blog for back linking to your site
Our competitor seems to be linked to a blog that they have created themselves. From an SEO perspective is it worthwhile creating a blog that is related to your particular industry and then only including links back to your site. Also is there any way to upload ,articles etc automatically to the blog to cut down on the people hours involved in updating content?

Link building for a product review site
I'm doing SEO for a product review website, and I'm curious what link building opportunities are best for this category. Assume only the following: The website is basically a blog Most of the articles are reviews on cosmetic products, though there are also articles regarding news, product roundups, tips&tricks and similar content The website is in a local, non-english language Disregarding low-value opportunities such as directories, what kind of websites should I aim for outreach purposes? So far, I'm thinking the following: Product manufacturers (very low success chance, as the review site is fairly new and in a localized language) E-commerce sites selling the products (average to low success chance, since a lot of them use CMSes that might not allow integration of a review) Other cosmetic blogs, particularly for guest blogging (average to low success chance, since the website is fairly new) Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

Linking to root domain or specific sub-site
Hello, When optimizing for multiple keywords, should I try to get links back to the root domain of the company I work with, or would it be better to link back to sub-sites specific to the keyword I am optimizing for? Does 'getting the root up' help all keywords I work with? Cheers, Mike
