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.

Get into Google : New Sites
I have a brand new website. It was created 10 days ago. How long would it take for it to show up in search results? I understand that since the site is new, there are no sites sending it backlinks. Also, i have optimized the page for my keyword "xyz" and it received an A grade. The site does not figure even in the top 50 results. Please help me out. It is a one page web application that needs to drive traffic to survive.

Which of these is the best guest blogging site
Which of these is best: http://www.guestblogit.com/http://www.bloggerlinkup.com/ http://www.Myblogguest.comhttps://www.helpareporter.com/ I like the look of MyBlogguest.com so far. We are wanting to guest write articles to be published on quality sites in exchange for one or two links back (link building) Also, how do you choose what article topics to write. So far my strategy is to look at the industry's biggest sites and to use the "Top Pages" tab in OSE to look for hot topics. Thanks!

Discrepancies in link reports from SEOMoz and OSE
Hello, I am trying to understand the link profile of my site. In the competitive analysis from SEOMoz, it shows 22K+ of links, with about 900+ being external followed links and 800+ internal. Webmaster tools shows a similar number of external followed links, but the link report from OSE only shows about 150 external followed links. This brings up several questions: Where is this 22K total links coming from? Why is there such a difference in the SEOMoz competitive analysis and the OSE report? Why does the OSE report show some links as not followed, while Webmaster tools lists them as followed? Am new to the off-page aspects of SEO, and I have to say the discrepancy in data from different tools is by far the most challenging thing for me. Would welcome general advice on this topic as well. Thank you!

SEOMoz Pro and Multiple Niche Sites
Currently I have 15 affiliate marketing sites and three blogs which are monetized. My budget dictates the base pro package so may I get some recommendations on how or if I can do analysis over time for all the sites. I ask this because it seems you would set your campaigns for long-term but I imagine you delete/modify/add campaigns to analyze different key words. Thanks for your help.

Competitive link finder not working
Hi guys, I just wanted to check the status of the Competitive Link Finder. I've been trying to use it for well over a week, literally trying it every day and every single time I get the "we may be a little busy" message. Are there any plans to upgrade it? I realise its a labs tool, but its actually a really useful tool which I just don't seem to be able to benefit from whatsoever. Would love to hear what the plans for this tool are. Thanks Al

Will Open Site Explorer ever show number of links over time?
OSE is an amazing tool, but do you guys at SEOmoz have any plans to develop it so we can track numbers of links over time. I need to demonstrate to clients how the link building is going, and this would be a great quick report to see how many links you found on a given day, month, year, etc. A bit like magesticSEO backlink history graph, but better 🙂
