Link from Dr. Oz web site not being seen, what are we doing wrong?
-
Newbie so this may be SEO 101...
Quick back story: My wife Lauri is a Dream Expert who has been on over 5,000 radio shows, TV shows like Good Morning America, the Today show, the View, in major magazines and newspapers, the list goes on and on, I'm not bragging actually the opposite. Lauri barely exists online and to top it off we don't seem to be getting any "link juice" from some big sites that have linked to us.
Here is just one example of many:
Our site: theDreamZone.com
Here is a page on Dr Oz site that links to us, anchor text at top right "Click here":
When you use On site Explorer this link isn't there, what are we doing wrong?
Our plan is to build a new site (LauriTheDreamExpert.com) and get these links and many others pointing to us correctly so she can get the exposure she's earned.
Lauri was also on the Dr Oz TV show : Watch it if you like.
Thanks for any wisdom,
Mike

Hi Mike. I've sent you a couple of personal messages. Give me a shout back when you can.

Honestly, it's a bit overwhelming which is why I think we need some help to make the right moves. I will keep reading as you recommend.
Thanks so much for your responses.

Hi Mike. Now we're getting into robots.txt, noindex, nofollow, follow tags etc. There's a lot of information regarding these tags and what they mean.
Use the search tool above and search robots, nofollow, noidex etc. You'll find a lot of posts and links that describe what they mean to Google and how they they should be used.
If you haven't already, you might load the mozbar and use the highlighter tool to quickly check links, view source code etc.
There's a lot to explore and understand.

Check out this from Rand: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/determining-whether-a-page-site-passes-link-juice
-
And that page doesn't say "no index" so why aren't we getting any juice for that?
-
Google "dr oz videos" and you will go to the page preceding Lauri's book page you referenced. The link that goes to Lauri's site is at this Oz page: http://www.doctoroz.com/book/dream-it.
I got to the page selling your wife's book by Googling: dr oz lauri loewenberg.
-
They want the page before it seen on search.
-
Another example to our other site:
This site has us linked but we don't see them in the On Site Exploreer.
I didn't see the no-index tag
-
Why would they do that? Don't they want the page seen on search?
-
Hi Mike. Right click on Dr. Oz page with your link on it. In the popup, select "view page source." It will open up a page with a bunch of code on it. On line 9 you will see the no index tag.
When checking links, I typically check the profile in open site explorer and Webmaster tools in Analytics.
-
The head section of this page has:
NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX">
Which is why this page is not indexed by Google too.

Reclaim lost links to old pages?
We recently moved our site to a new CMS and did a complete redesign, with new content. It's really hit our SEO. Open site explorer is telling me there are lots of 404 web pages which were basically old product pages that no longer exist, since the way we have structured the site has changed. So is it worth trying to reclaim these links? If so, how can I do that without building pages at the URL - will a 301 redirect be enough?

Why does SEOMoz only crawl 1 page of my site?
My site is: www.thetravelingdutchman.com. It has quite a few pages, but for some reason SEOMoz only crawls one. Please advise. Thanks, Jasper

Benefits of reducing on page links
This is more of a discussion point. What would be the measurable results of reducing the number of on page links, specifically on a home page, but let's assume by way of a large navigation menu most of the pages have a lot of links" For instance, would any of the stats on the MozBar be affected (let's start with the home page). Would the Page Authority or MozRank change at all, perhaps because there is less "juice" flowing out of the home page? Thanks! 🙂

SEOmoz not displaying correct amount of links?
When I go to the link analysis page where ti shows how many links my site has and how many my competitors have...it shows that I have 0 links. But Google Webmaster Tools shows my site as having 149 links. Is this a glitch with zeomoz or whats going on? The reason I initially subscribed to seomoz was to track my links. Thanks

Localize Web App
Is there a way to "localize the web app"? In other words, get ranking results based on a location? I pecked around the forum and documentation but couldn't find anything. Any plans to move in this direction? I'm getting wildly different results based on browser location settings. Any thoughts are welcome.

Open Site Explorer Question!
Hi, I have performed a search on a root domain and the page auth is higher then the domain auth? I would have thought they would have been the same or at least the other way around!
