Can't find backlinks shown in report.
-
I ran an advanced report to show me all the backlinks pointing to a domain. When I go to many of the domains listed, I can't find the link. I've searched the pages by anchor text in the browser and nothing comes up. Anyone know why this would be?
-
My apologies. I missed your prior reply where you shared the link.
I found a link to the page on the site: http://www.articlesezines.com/getting-new-cushions-heres-how-to-measure-your-furniture-properly/
anchor text is "measure your furniture"
I used the site's Search box and looked for "measure your furniture" with the quotation marks. Only one result appeared and it has the link to your site.
-
In order to be helpful I would need to know the domain of your site which these links are pointing to.
-
There are many possibilities.
-
the links may have been removed for various reasons
-
the links may still exist on the site but be located on another page. For example if you have a link which shows ?page=4 and then more comments or info is added, the link may move to a different page.
-
the link may exist on the page in such a manner where crawlers see it but your eyes do not. Try right-clicking on the page and choosing View Page Source and then searching for the anchor text.
-
try using the site's Search function for the anchor text
-
try performing a google site: search for the anchor text on the given site
-
perhaps it is not anchor text but an image alt text?
Those are the main issues I can think of off the top of my head.

How can a site have a backlink from Barclays website?
Hi, I have entered a competitiors website www.my-wardrobe.com into Open Site to see who they get links from and to my surprise they have a load from Barclays Business Banking. When I visit the page I can not see the links. But if I search the pages source code for my-wardrobe, there I have it, a link to my-wardrobe.com. How have they done this? Surely Barclays haven't sold them it? And more so, why are they receiving link juice when you cant even see the link on the Barclays page in question - http://www.barclays.co.uk/BusinessBanking/P1242557952664 Thanks | |

Where does the crawler find the urls?
The SEO Moz crawler has found a number of 500 error pages, and 404s etc which is very useful 🙂 however some of the urls are weird/broken formats we don't recognise and nobody remembers ever using - not weird enough to imply hacking, but something broken in the CMS Is there anyway to find out where the crawler found these urls? I can patch up and redirect the end result as best I can but I would prefer to fix plug the leak thanks 🙂
