Why aren't my backlinks showing up?
-
I've recently switched hosting my site on www.vamospaella.com to www.vamospaella.co.uk (using a 301 redirect) and I've been building backlinks. According to Majesticseo, vamospaella.co.uk has 38 backlinks with 8 referrring domains and vamospaella.com has 15 external backlinks from 11 referring domains. Some of these backlinks date back a month, while others have shown up in the last week. However, I have seen no improvement in my Google rankings for my keywords. Why is this?

First off, be patient. It generally takes time for links to really give benefit. I've been aggressively building links to a few select pages over the last couple of months, and it's just now that I'm really starting to see quantifiable improvement.
Second, Moosa's advice on link quality, particularly blogging, is really valid. Upgrade the content on your site. You currently have a separate blog on wordpress.com? Bring that in house immediately. Start blogging on your own site so that you get maximum benefit out of any links you earn. Start guest blogging where possible.
Third: your links to the .com URL will pass most of the credit to .co.uk due to the 301 redirect, but they won't pass all of it. See if it's possible to point those old links directly to your new .co.uk domain for maximum juice.
Link building is by far the most labor-intensive aspect of SEO. Hang in there.

Ok, the major question is that when you are building back links:
- Why Majestic SEO is not showing it?
- Why there is no improvement is Rankings?
There is a difference between you building links and links go live as most of the links building opportunities does contain a moderation time period! (Manual links have no average time period while directories and articles and blogs do have a time period of maximum 2 weeks!)
So may be your inks are in the moderation because Majestic can only index the links that are live!
Well, as far as ranking is concern.. it depends upon various factors and not links only! I just take a quick look to your website and here are some tips that you can use to improve your visibility!
- Try to reduce the internal linking, they way you use it, aren’t natural and look quite spammy to search engines.
- Try to add quality contain on your website.
- Don’t push too much on directory links and try to grab links through blogging and through manual outreach
- Include your business to local websites
- Try adding a blog in the 2 phase on the website.
If you will try these, you will see a positive effect in rankings but again it also depends upon what keywords are you targeting… with the link profile that you currently have its almost seems impossible for you to rank for general keywords and phrases!

Backlinking question
Hello everyone! I currently work for a software company that sell's CRM software for product sellers and one of our options along with this service is a website builder option that can provide the client with a website with several different templates to choose from. Currently, we have over 500 clients using these website templates and I noticed that they are all under the same IP address. My question is, in terms of a backlinking effort, would it be beneficial if we included a link to our company's website on the footer on each of these templates? Example could be: Powered by: (company's name) and have the name a link to our site. I'm worried that this could be seen negatively by Google if we dofollowed these links or the fact that they are all under the same IP. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks

How important is the originating country of backlinks?
How important is it that you gain backlinks from websites in the same country you're targeting? Scenario: You have a website targeting users in Japan. How important is it that backlinks to your website are from Japanese websites? Do you need a majority of links from Japanese websites to rank well, or will you do OK with 25% Japanese links and 75% links from other countries? According to Majestic, sites for popular Japanese brands like tsutaya.co.jp and seiyu.co.jp get more links from US sites than from Japanese sites.

Backlinks from PR sites not showing in Open Site Explorer
Hi, Over the last year I have used a range of different PR sites to post news articles that link back to various pages on my site. However, barely any show up as link backs on Open Site Explorer, neither follow nor nofollow links. Can anyone explain why this is and whether or not the dofollow links count towards SEO if they are not picked up by OSE?
