Link Analysis shows no external sites linking to me?
-
Hi All, I hope you can help. Link Analysis shows no external sites linking to me? but I know for a fact there are. Why is this? I have submitted my site to a few local directories and can see my site is on their site but when I run a Link Analysis it shows that I have no links. Does anyone know why this is? Many thanks, Aidan My site is http://www.theethicalsilkco.com/

It can take a couple of months for links to show up. Our server farm isn't as big as Google or Bing, so we don't crawl as fast or deep as they do. They'll know about links before we do. It probably just needs a little more time is all. If links still don't show up, it could be because they're on pages we haven't crawled yet because they are lower quality, or just buried on a site. For example, we don't show all of the links from Twitter -- we just don't have the power to crawl all of Twitter and still crawl anything else!

Seomoz takes longer to calculate the links and they do not have every URL indexed. If you look in your Google webmaster tools, SEOmoz's Open Site Explorer and Majestics backlink checker (http://www.majesticseo.com/) you should get most of the indexed backlink data you need. Keep in mind that you might place a link on a page today that may not get indexed for 6 weeks.
Also, have you submitted a sitemap to Google?
-
Boom! There they are. 29 results.
So, from this can you tell me none of these are showing up in my Link Analysis report or when Google stated that it had not indexed my site in over 90 days even though i used Google Fetch only 2 weeks ago and it came back successful?
I bet you reject answering my initial question
Thanks for all the help thus far

Hey AIden, my mistake... Inurl only shows parameters within URLs
Try this instead inlink:www.theethicalsilkco.com this command shows your indexed links.
-
Sorry Donnie, But you are going to have to hold my hand through this What should I be seeing when I use this operator? I see 4 results. I see that Google has not visited it in the last 90 days. I should request this in WT no? I used- link:www.theethicalsilkco.com and got no results. I presume that this means that no-one is linking to me. Although I can see 2 sites that link to me: http://www.rte.ie/radio1/todaywithpatkenny/2010-12-16.html www.independent.ie/lifestyle/christmas/five-christmas-presents-that-keep-on-giving-2444715.html Thanks, Aidan

I took out the "http://"... here type " inurl:www.theethicalsilkco.com/ "

Hi Donnie,
My URL is a few years old but I re-did the site approx 5 months ago. When I do the same search I get 2 pages of results. That's with me signed out of Google.
But all these results are my pages.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks again. Very much appreciated

SEOmoz can take some time to index a new site... How old is your site? It must be fairly new because I also tried finding your links in google (by typing inurl:http://www.theethicalsilkco.com/ into the search) and only two results came up...

What is the difference between anchor text and external links?
I understand you 'Pro's' may fins this a silly question. But I'm a visual learner and I can't seem to grasp this. I've read the pages MOZ has provided on anchor text and external links and my question is, how are they different? And which one is more important to seo? Can someone who has a great ability to simplify things, please help me understand this. They seem very similar to me but, I know there has to be more to it. External links: External Links are hyperlinks that point at (target) any domain other than the domain the link exists on (source) **Anchor Text: **Anchor text is the visible characters and words that hyperlinks display when linking to another document or location on the web. Thanks is advance, Lauren.

Links are still showing in Opensite explorer?
I did some link building for some friends last year, since then our relationship has changed & I removed the links I created. It's been 2 months & the links still show up in Open site explorer, & their website is still kicking butt. How long will it take for the links to be unassigned for their profile?

Guest Posts on Sites With Irrelevant Outbound Links
Suppose you came across a website in your niche with solid domain authority that accepts guest posts. However you notice some of the guest posts are linking out to somewhat off-topic sites. If you already have an article that you think would be accepted easily and all you have to do is spend 10 minutes to craft an email pitch, would you do it? Why?

Are 36 links from one site to nested pages better than one link to the root domain?
I have a Driving School website www.1stclassdriving.co.uk. The site is structured geographically with 36 area pages, one

page per area post code and one page per Driving Instructor. I am trying to develop links and have found a site (da91 pa
63) where I can create area links to each of my area pages if I
wish. Is it best to just create one link to the root page or
should I create 36 individual links to each area page? - which is most valuable?0
