New links not showing in site explorer ?
-
I have built links to my site this past month that I know are live and in place and some do follow and some no follow ...
Are the no follow links just not going to show up in my site explorer data ?
And the others - why would they not be showing up yet ?
SeoMoz updated thier link data aug 1st , my site has been crawled since then ,
but this new work I have done for link building have not shown up - None of them ?
Its like I did not do any work ?
how long could it take for them to show up and affect my site trust ect ?
Also is there anything I vould be doing to speed the process up of having the new links found ?

Google makes no promises that it will show you all of the links that it knows about, and also makes no promises that the links that it shows count for anything. They have publicly admitted they do not count links from UpDowner, for example, to the relief of many webmasters.
At the beginning of your response, you state your website rankings have improved. That is one report you can show the client. Other things to look at for your client are their traffic and how that has changed -- have those links given the client any referral traffic? has the client's organic traffic increased on keywords you've been targeting? has your client made more conversions? Page and Domain authority are nice, but they don't pay the client's mortgage. Find things that help show to the client what you have done is my suggestion.

O.K.
I logged into google webmaster and found 32 linking domains in there.
I am a new user to Seomoz and am just trying to get things clear.
My website rankings have improved,
I am doing some tedious link building and am trying to figure out how much work (links) i am doing is helping my sites actual rankings.
I need to know what to tell my seo clients and need to show results on these reports
my report on here shows 9 linking domains
Google webmaster shows 32 linking domains
and I know I have built links that are live that are not even showing up in Google webmaster account.
I need to understand the time frame so I can explain to my clients when i can show results of my workks effect on website score/links/domain trust ect.
If Why are some links not showing in Google ?
Do they just not show you all of them ?
Why are at least the ones in My webmaster account not showing on my Seomoz reports
Also i read somewhere that when you build a new link you should ping it so it shows up faster ? Have you heard this ? Does it help ?
I have to do a report for a client that does not show any improvement at all knowing i have bulit at least 70 new links back to thier site ... Im a little frustrated and don't want to lose the client.
I was hoping to be able to send a professional looking report not just aa excell file of link addresses.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
Thank you in advance !

Hi! The last data update is showing link information from crawls in Mid-May to Mid-July, with more details available at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/august-mozscape-update. Have you looked in Google Webmaster Tools and Bing Webmaster Center for your incoming links and see if they've shown up there yet? Google and Bing both have bigger server farms than we do, and can show you the information a bit faster.

Site Migration Question - Do I Need to Preserve Links in Main Menu to Preserve Traffic or Can I Simply Link to on Each Page?
Hi There We are currently redesigning the following site https://tinyurl.com/y37ndjpn The local pages links in the main menu do provide organic search traffic. In order to preserve this traffic, would be wise to preserve these links in the main menu? Or could we have a secondary menu list (perhaps in the header or footer), featured on every page, which links to these pages? Many Thanks In Advance for Responses

Base href + relative link href for canonical link
I have a site that in the head section we specify a base href being the domain with a trailing slash and a canonical link href being the relative link to the domain. <base <="" span="">href="http://www.domain.com/" /> href="link-to-page.html" rel="canonical" /> I know that Google recommends using an absolute path as a canonical link but is specifying a base href with a relative canonical link the same thing or is it still seen as duplicate content?

Google webmaster tools showing "no data available" for links to site, why?
In my google webmaster account I'm seeing all the data in other categories except links to my site. When I click links to my site I get a "no data available" message. Does anyone know why this is happening? And if so, what to do to fix it? Thanks.

Outbound link to PDF vs outbound link to page
If you're trying to create a site which is an information hub, obviously linking out to authoritative sites is a good idea. However, does linking to a PDF have the same effect? e.g Linking to Google's SEO starter guide PDF, as opposed to linking to a google article on SEO. Thanks!

What happens when I redirect an entire site to an established page on another site?
Hi There, I have a website which is dedicated to selling ONE product (in different forms) or my main brand site. It is branded similarly, targets similar keywords, and gets some traffic which convert to leads. Additionally, the auxiliary site has a Google Rank 2 in its own right. I am thinking of consolidating this "auxillary" site to the specific product page on my main site. The reason I am considering doing this is to give a "boost" to the main product page on our main site which has many core keywords sitting with SERP ranking of between 11-20 (so not in first 10) Because this auxiliary site it gets traffic and leads in its own right, I don't want this to be to the detriment of my leads overall. Question is - if I 301 redirect the entire domain from my auxillary site to the equivalent product on my main site am I likely to see a large "boost" to that product page? (i.e. will I likely see my ranking rise from 11 - 20 significantly)

I have a general site for my insurance agency. Should I create niche sites too?
I work with several insurance agencies and I get this questions several times each month. Most agencies offer personal and business insurance and in a certain geographic location. I recommend creating a quality general agency site but would they have more success creating other nice sites as well? For example, a niche site about home insurance and one about auto insurance. What would your recommendation be?

How long until 301 passes juice to new site?
We put up a new site for an attorney and changed his url along with total redevelopment. We used a 301 for the old to the new and it does resolve to the new. It has been one month and the old site in OSE still shows DA of 37 with PA for homepage of 15. The new site has come up.....to a DA of 6 with homepage at 1 still. For any who might wish it, the referring site is theHollandLawFirm.com and the new site is Houston-Bankruptcy-Attorney.info. Would love to know of any experience with the timing on this.
