Getting some links, when will I see results?
-
Hey Guys,
I started getting some links to my website. When do you think I will see an increase in rankings?
Thanks!

Patrick is on the money here,
when you say you are getting links, did you go out and get them or are they natural.
I don't think google is interested in 99% of any link you can go out and get yourself.
And those that appear naturally are also 99% crap.
You can get good sites to link to you but it is not easy, and you may get good sites to link to you naturally over time. IMO you are better off spending time in making sure your sites crawls perfectly, making sure you have good content, and describing your site to google using structured data.
If your site is a good result for your keywords click data alone can do wonders for ranking -
Hey Raf,
There are many facets to SEO and getting backlinks is only one of them and does not guarantee instant results. It's a good thing though that you're focusing on getting backlinks now, but keep in mind to be extra careful in this process.
If you're getting Do Follow backlinks from relevant websites with high PR, chances are, you'll get good results in due time. But you're asking when, right? That I can't answer, but hopefully it won't take long.
However, if you're getting backlinks from irrelevant websites, you might want to refrain this process. It will only harm your ranking status.
Also, no follow links won't help you increase your site's ranking.
Hope this helps.

I agree with Patrick. If you're getting quality natural links from authoritative sites, you're improving your site's ability to rank for keywords. This ability to rank should help you as you improve your on-site SEO and ad high quality content to your site. Since more authoritative sites get crawled more often, quality links should impact your site quicker.
I think it's worth noting that the increase in rankings will also depend on the competition for the keywords you're trying to rank for. Using Moz's keyword difficulty checker will give you an idea of how tough it will be to be to get on page 1 of the SERPs. If you're doing everything right in terms of on-site SEO, keyword optimization and your backlink profile is on par, or better than the competition, you'll have a good chance at seeing your rankings improve.

Hi there
It really depends on the site linking to you, how relevant it is, and when your site/their site gets crawled.
Keep in mind, however, that there are so many more factors that go into ranking than simply getting links. I would start looking into opportunities to raise your Domain Authority and make sure your on-site SEO is on point.
I would also make sure that you take a look at Moz's numerous guides and Academy - there are a ton of great resources and tips that can help you go above and beyond just the world of link building.
Start taking a look at the guides / resources above and begin prioritizing the opportunities you feel can best move the needle on your website. The work is never done!
Hope you're well! Good luck!

AllTop Linking Me to Other Sites Feeds, Webmasters Reporting Lots of Broken Links
I submitted my blog to All Top awhile ago and something seems to be wrong with their feed. They're sending people to mysite.com/truth-o-meter.com/this-is-a-post. It's not just truth-o-meter either. I'm getting links that are supposed to go to all kinds of political blogs. As a result, I'm getting a ton of broken links reported on Google Webmasters. I couldn't find any real support option on alltop.com, and when I log in, there are no sites for me to manage. Instead, I resubmitted the site with the correct feed address and in the comments, I mentioned the problem. All I got was a message saying the site was rejected. I believe because I already added the site. But I'm thinking they didn't pay attention to the comments. (In fact the message may have gone through an auto-filter considering how quickly it was rejected.) Is there a way to solve this? Is this a situation in which I would use the disavow tool? If All Top continues to create bad links, how do I stop the issue once and for all? Thanks!

How long should does it take before I see SEO results?
I am thinking about launching a website connected to Christmas - which gives me less then 2 months to develop and begin ranking for the site. Is this too short a timeframe and I should put off this plan until next year or can I actually begin ranking for low competitive keywords within my timeframe.

Is a no-follow link/sponsored link a good editorial link?
Ok maybe this is a dumb question. I really need some better, more quality backlinks pointing to my site. There is a site that has domain authority of 72, page rank 5 that is offering me a sponsored blog post. Do sponsored posts count as a good editorial link? Also what if they are no-follow (and how would I find out ahead of time), does that still give me link juice?

How to beat This with Links?
Hello, So i am trying to beat this website gujratdetectives.com/ with a new website which has no backlinks as of now.
Link Building | | hardik_hrc
Now, I checked in open explorer that this site has many moderate level links. No high authority links but the problem is these links they all have title as the search keyword "detective in Gujarat" so maybe this is why this site rests on the top of this search keyword. So if building authority links into a different domain(Not detective related) with very high PR but WITHOUT title of relevancy. Anchor text would be the keyword but not the title of page. So the question is will those authority sites beat this gujratdetectives.com/ ???0 -
