Unable to view link from Apprentices gov.uk site
-
Hi, I've noticed that when some companies are advertising for apprentices on the https://apprenticeshipvacancymatchingservice.lsc.gov.uk website they gain a followed link from the site. When I then use opensiteexplorer the link doesn't show. Does anyone know the reason for Moz not picking this up? Am I not giving it long enough to show? Your help would be very much appreciated.

Roger (the crawler for Moz) does not fill out forms. I can't see a way to find a listing without doing a search, and OSE would need to be able to browse these listings to be able to see them.

I did a check with Ahrefs, OSE as well as majesticSEO I could not find it please reference the information below and I did put the backlinks I was able to find in a CVS file you can download here
all the best,
Tom

I just did a very thorough search for you I used open site explorer, Ahrefs & majesticSEO
None of them found the URL or TLD that you were looking for that does not mean it does not exist however if it was recently linked to your domain then this could mean it is just not being picked up. There is a lot of information below including all the links to your site in a CSV
you have a lot of backlinks from directories I searched quite a bit I could not find it however your welcome to go to this CVS of your back links right here
All TLD's according to Ahrefs that are pointing to your domain.

I am sorry to say that I do not believe it is pointing to your site or it is not being picked up by either OSE, Ahrefs, majesticSEO
I hope this is of more help,
Thomas

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your reply. What I'm trying to do is find a particular link from the domain https://apprenticeshipvacancymatchingservice.lsc.gov.uk which is the uk apprenticeship vacancy website to the website of the company advertising the position which in a particular case is www. homecolours .com.
I cannot seem to see this backlink even though the backlink is from a very high authoritative .gov site.
When using opensiteexplorer it doesn't show and I was wondering if I'm not giving it enough time to show up. Is there another tool which I can use to find a specific backlink rather try to discover as many backlinks as possible?
Kind regards,GoMetrics

There is not one company that can pick up every single link that is on the web.
Anyone that has advertising on a website should not be getting a followed link.
All advertisements and affiliate links should be no follow
if you are trying to find links that are pointing to somebody else's site not pointing towards your site right?
I would use https://moz.com/researchtools/crawl-test
To find the links that are pointing to other people's domains. They are going to be able to be found very easily that way.
Just so you are aware no one tool on the web can find every single backlink.
For instance Moz open site Explorer needs to index your site along with other tools like MajesticSEO and Ahrefs
If you use all three of them and Google Webmaster tools you most likely have no issue finding what you need in terms of back links.
Moz OSE tends to be more like Google Webmaster tools and find more live links then dead links
Remember you must give all the tools time however you are looking for outbound links not inbound links or back links.
I use a combination of OSE & Aherfs some people like to use all three others different combinations. This is my choice and I think it is wise to use a combination of tools if you are doing back link exploration.
Hope this help,
Tom

Uk link building
Hello mozzers, I have a UK website that I have slowly been building high quality links to from highly trusted websites, traffic is slowly but steadily rising. So far all the links i've built are on UK websites. I've discovered there are many opportunities to get links from loosely related US websites. Would links from highly trusted US domains help my UK rankings? Would they help, but not as much as UK links? I'd be very grateful to hear anyones thoughts on this. Thank you so much!

Setting up a separate site for link building
We are jump starting a link building campaign for a personal injury law firm. We're planning on doing things right with earning links to content people will actually want to share, sponsoring local events, etc. We're a little worried that some good opportunities could be missed due to the fact some people have assumptions about personal injury lawyers and would be hesitant to link to us simply because of our injury, regardless of what we're trying to share/promote. One solution we're considering is creating a foundation associated with the firm that supports relevant causes and provides the public with educational resources. That might get over our branding hurdle a bit. We've also discussed setting up a separate site for the foundation and actually building links to it rather than our main site, then linking the foundation site to our main site. The hope would be that we could get more links to the foundation site and it would in turn pass on link juice to our main site. My concern is whether this strategy makes any sense. We'd be putting good content on this foundation site rather than our main site. How much link juice would actually be passed on to our main site in this case? Would so much be lost that it would negate the whole purpose?

Decent SERP site sending 1000's of links to your website?
I've spent most of this summer trying to clean up my link profile, most links I've never requested myself, they just appear. Here's a question, www.allworldlinks.com appear to have a decent page authority but they are bombarding my site with hundreds of links, I now have over 12,000 from them. This is not good I guess?

Are high quality press release syndication site links valuable?
Suppose your press release got picked up by high authority sites like Yahoo, Morningstar, PaidContent.org, etc. But they republished the press release and kept the links. Do these links pass any value since the sites are just republishing the press release?
