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

EDU Links to my Site Never Show in Webmaster Tools

Sitewide link to a sister site question
I own two websites that are somewhat related. On Site A, in the nav bar below the header I had a link to Site B. The nav bar shows on all several hundred pages. A few weeks ago I got nervous about this as I was doing some reading about sitewide links. Not exactly sure if they were a bad thing or not in this specific case, I decided to change the nav bar so that the link to Site B only showed up on Site A's home page. Well, within a week or so my site started dropping from its long-held #1 position for its main, high-volume keyword, slipping a bit every few days. Today it is #4. My question is, would the removal of the sitewide links and replacement of them with just a link on the homepage cause something like this to happen? And, I'm thinking about putting the sidewide menu link back in -- is this a bad idea? Note: the ranking on Site B is very important, with double the RPM of Site A.

Why aren't links to my site from YouTube showing up in my link reports?
Our company is paying for a service to create hundreds of videos/month for us with links back to our primary domain. If I go to YouTube I see the videos with the links, but YouTube does not show in my link reports. Why not?

Old Site not Passing Along Links?
Recently, we created a new website for a client, and put it on a new domain. We put a 301 redirect site-wide on the old site. The 301 is working correctly, and any visit to the old site is now going to the new one. So, from a functionality standpoint, we're looking good. However, looking at the domain authority of the sites, it doesn't seem that the old links are passing value to the new site. The old site had 43 linking root domains, and a domain authority of 30, compared to the new site with 16 linking root domains and an authority of 22. If I understand correctly, the links should be viewed as pointing to the new site and passing link juice to the new one, correct? Is there a reason why this may be happening that I should be looking into? Any thoughts or advice on this one would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

Links from Related Sites with Low PR or semi-related sites with High PR?
Is it better to get a link from a site with lower PR but related content or higher PR but semi-related or unrelated content? For example, if I sell shoes, would a link from a PR1 or PR2 shoe or apparel site be better or a link from PR4 website that sells books be better? I'm not talking about sites with completely unrelated content, but how relevant is PR in obtaining relevant links if I am trying to raise the PR and rankings of my own site?

Linking strategy between my own sites
Hi, I have one main site, let's call it food.com I also have 10 smaller sites, let's call them mexicanfood.com, indianfood.com, italianfood.com etc food.com is on its own separate dedicated server the 10 smaller sites are all on a shared IP in hostgator I don't want Google to think that I have created the 10 sites for only purpose of creating links to each other. So, would you recommend that all those 10 sites link to each other? or should there be no interlinking within those 10 same IP domains? What about linking from those 10 sites to my main site? How should I structure my own backlinks not to get penalized by Google ?
