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!

A lot of backlinks from outside of niche – bad?
We have received a lot of backlinks over the years by users putting links on their websites to their home pages on our site, eg: our.domain/user1 our.domain/user2 … our.domain/user100000 There are 10’s of thousands of these backlinks, all natural, but many of them come from blogs that are completely outside of our niche. Only a small percentage of our backlinks 1% to 5% could actually be coming from pages related to our niche, the other 95%+ could be users just linking to their home pages. Could this really hurt us..? We have 1000’s of backlinks related to our niche, yet we’ve noticed that some competitors with less than 50 backlinks can outrank us for certain keywords.. Also related, we’ve noticed these user links popping up on a lot of spammy sites, directories, etc. We didn’t create them but we’re disavowing them now to be safe. So this could also be hitting our rankings.

I am getting links on people's wordpress blogs but are not showing up on the just discovered tool. Is it true that wordpress links are no-follow links that do give off any link-juice?
A blogger told me that "wordpress.com does not allow blogs to show advertisements or use links to sites that sell merchandise of any kind" is this true? Am i wasting my outreach time trying to get links from wordpress operated blogs?

2 backlinking questions
I've got 2 questions regarding backlinking. 1 - I recently watched a webinar saying I should never get backlinks from any sites lower than a PR 3. However, I have found some relevant websites to our niche that are lower than that. We have recently set-up a new website that currently has a PR 0. Bearing that in mind do you think it was still be good for SEO to try and get links from the lower PR sites to build up our own PR? 2 - Has anyone found out what Google thinks of gaining links from domains hosted in other countries? For example, our websites are hosted in the UK, does it look suspicious to search engines if we have links from USA or other countries? Thanks

Selling link building - Show me the money !
Week after week we get enquiries for Link building services. Time and time again we are losing out on contracts and deals... My stance - We work on your site for a period of time doing link building so 2 days in the month a link building member will research competitors , yadi , yadi, ya 🙂 You get the picture right... But the customers are being told by less scrupulous companies the numbers of links they will receive. Impossible unless you are buying them right ? So it reaches that point when you start questioning being 100% honest... What advice would you give me on selling link building services...
