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

When conducting a link building strategy does it matter the country the link is from?
We are a UK business and if we have links mostly from US based blogs and websites does this penalise us. The links are from relevant websites and topics. Should we be focusing on .co.uk sites

Indirect Link Earning via dofollow Links In News Articles
Hello, MOZ SEO Gurus. I've been trying to think some deep thoughts on safe, effective link earning for news publishing sites, and wanted to run this up the flagpole and see if you salute. Our site is a biotech news service -- we pump out copious amounts of news content each day, which works well for driving traffic. That being said, we also want to rank some optimized landing pages as well. Take, for example, this page, which we'd like to rank for "secondary progressive MS" and related keywords: http://bionews-tx.com/secondary-progressive-ms/ Now, as far as I'm concerned, shopping this page around to MS influencers isn't easy. I can go to Foundational websites, blogs, etc., and say, "hey, we have this info page on SPMS, and I thought that you might find it helpful/want to link to it." But chances are, the MS influencers already have their own proprietary content on SPMS, and there isn't much value to linking to it. Therefore, I think that we'll get few link earning conversions on the effort. However, what if I take our Secondary Progressive MS landing page, and I link to it in a corresponding article about SPMS research, as I did here: http://bionews-tx.com/news/2014/01/30/secondary-progressive-ms-natalizumab-clinical-trial/ Then, I go to the drug developer who is at the center of this story and say to them, "hey, we recently covered your drug in the news, and I thought you might want to link to it." Then, we get a link from an MS drug developer to the news article, which in turn has a prominent anchor text, dofollow internal link to the landing page for SPMS. If the link from the drug developer is dofollow, then we flow page rank juice from the drug developer page to our news page to our landing page. To me, it's much easier to earn safe links this way than to try and shop the landing page itself. That being said, if we get a dofollow link on the news piece, we only get a diminished portion of page rank going to the landing page. Is this strategy viable? Is the indirect flow of page rank from a linking site to a news article to a landing page even worth it? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

Multiple links from a single web-site
When one good web-site (PR5) has a link to my web-site - it's great. But, if this site has a second link to my web-site from another page, is this also good? Or, let me ask in a different way, will my web-site get "double benefit" from that web-site?

Total Links vs Google Webmaster Site Links
I am interested why the numbers between SEOmoz and Google are so different. In SEOmoz we only show 17,000ish links from 190ish domains. In Google, we show 200,000+ links from 370 domains. Why is there such a dramatic difference?

Helpful or Hurtfull / Distributor Links to Our site on every product page?
We have a distributor site with a page rank of 3 on its home page, and 0-1'ish on its product pages. While our manufacturing site is PR 4 getting close to 5... We are thinking about adding a link from our distributors product pages to our manufacturing appropriate material information page. This would be about 10k links spread out among 7 materials. We want to add these links to help our distributor sites customers, but we don't want to hurt our manufacturing site in the process. I personally don't know of any problem this would cause, but our manufacturing site is so important I need to verify adding this many links wouldn't hurt us. Your thoughts and knowledge is appreciated.

What is the best way to make sure competitors or others aren't buying links on my sites behalf to penalize us?
Is there a good way to do this? Does the Open Site Explorer have an ability to screen by when the link was found, or help by picking up on potentially shady links? Thanks much..
