Why Google is not getting many of the links to my site?
-
Hello,
I have a website for cosmetics, selling and a lot of information (http://www.vipcosmetica.com). For about half a year I've been working also in seo for several google keywords.
My question is about the external links to my site. Using different tools, including those of SEOMoz, I see just a few links to my site, however there are plenty, because I've been putting them myself, in public directories, related blogs, industry websites and so on. Alexa shows 5 links only, OpenSiteExplorer shows 4, and Market Samurai 9. I thinks theres should be like 50-60 links, minimum, in pages with good google PR (Youtube, Vimeo, Vulka, Hotfrog, Digg, Flickr, etc.).
In Alexa, recently two more links appeared, from two blogs that have copied some content from my site (priveta policy) without changing the original links that point to other pages on my site, and those are the links that Alexa shows now.
What could be the reason the rest of the links do not appear at all?
Thank you very much

I made some changes in the webmastertools settings for the site, yesterday (region, domain) and now I have information about links from external sites (from around 50 different webs like flickr, youtube, etc, facebook, etc).
I used also the google command link: in the search, and I've got many results also. So, as far as I understand this means that the backlinks info is properly indexed within google.
The problem is I think this linking info is not counting, somehow, because I tried again with SEOmoz / MarketSamurai / OpenSiteExplorer and there is no backlinkg info, just 8 or 9 links, from very unknown sites (not youtube, flickr, facebook, etc.). So I really dont understand what is happening....
Thanks again!!

Its hard to say when the link will be picked up, if it was a link from BBC then a matter of days, if it was on a blogger blog that someone setup years ago and has not touched it then could take along time.

I use webmastertools but in the links section, shows always a message 'NO DATA AVAILABLE' and I did not find anything clear about the reason for that, but after months there is still no data.
I thought about the sites where I put the links to be spam sites, but, some of them, I check with google and other tools, and they have high PR (4 to
and also quite good authority ratio, etc. I just think there is something basic I'm missing!!! Do you kwnow how long it takes for google to pick up links, aprox? weeks, months? for example from a youtube video (the link is in the video description) ?Anyway, I'll try the guest post on a blog, very good advise. Thanks a lot for your answer, really appreciate.
cheers

If you got webmaster tools hooked up it should show you in there links from external websites.
It does take time for links to appear but I think if you built 20 links in the first month at least 5-10 should be showing by now UNLESS...
The links you built are on websites which Google does not visit that much or the links are so deep into the site Google does not crawl that deep.
Do a guest post on a blog with PR2+ with some good followers on facebook and twitter, maybe a few rss subscribers and I bet within a month that link is picked up.

Having High Quality sites link to my site
How can I tell if a site is high quality or not, so far I have been using Moz's Toolbar to find the Domain Authority and Page authority to determine the quality of the site - is this correct?

Somone is creating a ton of links to my site!!!
Today I looked at site explorer and found over 1100 linking root domains and over 750 linking c-blocks. My site was hovering around 200 linking root domains and 150 linking c-blocks. I have not paid anyone to link to my site... Is this one of my competitors trying to create negative seo for a specific key word? I've worked very hard to never try to build links and only get links naturally by providing good content that people would want to link to. Can all hundreds of new links hurt me? What can I do? my site is www.yakangler.com | | |

Google to devalue guest blog links?
There's a lot of talk at the minute about google possible devaluing guest post links. I wondered what people thought of this and whether it is likely to happen? If it does happen then how will google identify 'spam' guest posts and links? I guess it's fair to assume that if the post is well written, autoriative and adds value to a site with a knoweldgable perspective then it will be counted? It can be very hard to define how google will define a 'quality guest post'? Any ideas? Here's what Matt has to say... http://www.webpronews.com/matt-cutts-weighs-in-on-guest-blogging-for-links-2012-10

Does Open Site Explorer show juice passing links
I'm a little confused between all the link types. Internal / External - easy Linking Root Domain - easy Followed / No followed - easy But then there's talk about "juice passing links" and I can't quite get how this is defined, and why it's something you can get from the API, but not from Open Site Explorer... or can you get that info from OSE?

Pursuing Links on Sites You Have a Link From
Is it a bad idea to spend resources to get a second link from a site that already links to you? It seems like the marginal value of each additional link is much smaller than the first link.

What are your favorite tactics for getting links to money-pages?
We've got content marketing and other great tactics for getting links to content pages, but what are your favorite tactics for getting links to your money pages (i.e. product pages, landing pages, devices pages, sales letters, etc.) For example: For certain sites (especially some ecommerce sites), one can get a few backlinks by doing giveaways, contests, or events Some sites can give their product to bloggers to review If you're selling an exciting product and/or a product that appeals to a passionate user base, such tactics can work great. There are some sites that such tactics won't work very well for, though. For example, if you sell a boring or highly specialized product that bloggers won't want to review or giveaway as a contest prize - such as valves used in a specific commercial application, or an expensive B2B product that you can't really giveaway. Creativity is of course important, but sometimes it can only take you so far. What are your favorite strategies for getting quality backlinks to your "money pages" especially for sites that don't fit into the "ecommerce site selling cool stuff" category?
