Linking back to my domain but they dont show up
-
My back links are not working. I am linking them all back to my domain but they are not appearing? any help? Is it because of my anchor text ?
-
Thank you for the feedback Ive took that onboard. Ive changed alot of my website footers to link back to me but still no change does it take a while for these changes to be picked up?

"web design derby" is not in your anchor text. If you want to rank better for that it needs to be an exact match - for instance
- <a <span="">href</a><a <span="">="</a>http://bluecreations.co.uk/">Blue Creations 2012
Web Design Derby
That being said, the same anchor text globally on the footer of every site you make could get you penalized. If you are going to go this route at least make a different link for each site. Point to different internal pages and use different anchor texts for each site you build for someone.
- <a <span="">href</a><a <span="">="</a>http://bluecreations.co.uk/">Blue Creations 2012

Yes on every website that I produce in the footer i add the following code
- <a <span="">href</a><a <span="">="</a>http://bluecreations.co.uk/">Website Design by Blue Creations 2012
In the hope that this will act as a link back to my site. Ive tested this theory and it currently is not working however I have looked at my competitions websites and it appear to work for them. Not sure why its doing nothing for me though. I currently only rank on page 14 on google for web design derby
thanks

I think we need a little bit more information here. Can you provide a little bit of an explanation about what you've done?

Comment Links and Pingbacks
I'm updating articles on a large site, some have links in the comments (WP site). The question is: 1. Should I remove the links in the comments, or does Google even care? 2. How do pingbacks affect ranking?

Locating broken links on site?
Hey guys, I'm using Screaming Frog to help locate some broken links on a client's site and I've managed to pick up two. However, I can't seem to find whereabouts they're located on the site in order to fix them! Is there a way I can do this? Cheers!

Forcing keywords into domain structure
Hi there, Over the last few years, I've seen people structuring their site so that their main content is all housed in a folder named after the site's primary keywords. For example, if I had some content about home insurance, normally naming conventions state that I might put the content at a URL such as: www.mydomain.com/home-insurance However, some sites, may change this structure to include their main keyword again in the URL string: www.mydomain.com/insurance/home-insurance The folder 'insurance' would normally hold the site's Sitemap to increase internal linking strategy too. I'd be really interested to hear whether anyone has seen any serious benefits from re-structuring their site in this way? What are your thoughts on this? Thanks,

Do external links drain PageRank?
Example: A page has 100 links, 90 internal links and 10 external links. The page has a Google internal PR of 1000. The question is: Is the pagerank that flows to the internal links being calculated taking into account all links on the page (internal + external) or only the 90 internal links? E.g. is the PR that flows to the internal links 1000/100 or 1000/90? Are links to external sites "votes" that do not affect the internal PR flow? Disclaimer: I understand that the maths behind the PR algo are more complex. This simplified example only serves to explain my question.

How to trace back a link from a 404 error?
How do I find the link that is still refferring to a 404 error? Somewhere on my site there is a link pointing to an un-usable page and I cant find where that link is to fix the 404 error. I could just delete the page all together, but I would like to find the problematic link first.
