Link analysis: no-follow from slideshare
-
I noticed when doing link analysis that for some competitors the backlink from slideshare is recorded with a 'no-follow' beside the link. Other sites analyzed don't show a backlink from slideshare despite having this link in their slideshare pages.
Is the no-follow resulting in the backlink getting recorded to improve domain authority but not SEO authority?

I see in my slide page, the link I paste on Description box is same as general text. And I see link I paste on Slide. What is backlinks?

Glad that helped, Abdallah. Do remember, just because a third-party tool hasn't indexed the link doesn't mean that the search engines themselves aren't aware of them and using them for ranking. The search engines have far more budget and technology available for their crawlers than pretty much any third-party tool could.
For an interesting comparison, use the Link Explorer tool built into Bing's Webmaster Tools to compare to what you find in the third party tools. The benefit of this tool over the one in Google Webmaster Tools is that it will allow yo look at link profiles from other site too, not just your own. (Do not though that even Bing doesn't promise to show you every link out there.
That said though, there's nothing wrong with building a few good links to your Slideshare page to help it along as well.
Glad you feel you got your question answered. Would be great if you could mark which answers you found helpful as "good answers" to help others who might also come across this question.

I think the 'no-follow' comment was confusing in my question. I was trying to figure out why some sites were getting linked back from slideshare pages while others didn't despite having the link on their website. I think the answer is that those page getting linked back are getting crawled more often by google. So I will need to work on this! Thanks again for taking the time to answer

Thanks for replying. It makes complete sense. I had originally assumed that a page on slideshare would be consistently crawled but obviously it needs to still have fresh content and good links going back to it. Both of these items I will be working on!

What you're most likely seeing here, Influitive, is just the fact that the SEOMoz crawler (or whatever other tool you're using) hasn't crawled (and will never be able to) absolutely every page on the web. It may just be that the tool's crawler simply hasn't gotten to the other SlideShare pages yet to index those other competitors' links.
Make sense?

To be honest with you, your question is not really clear but if you are asking about no-follow links… link analysis tool will show you the link with a no follow tag. This tag indicates Google that the link is not going to pass any juice value. In this way you can say that link will direct people from that website to your website but in terms of SEO there will be no credit of that link which help you in improving your SERP and all…

Link Exchange
Is link exchange always bad? What if I want to add a link for other related products on my site which I do not offer, and the other site does the same for me? Will it be better to rather an article for each other product and link to somebody, than have one page with a list of other products to other sites. For example. We do training. Lets say we offer computer training. We search companies that does health and safety training offer to put their course on our site with a link to them, if they do the same.

Does link have any value?
I recently received a link, but upon inspecting the page source on the site I did not see the link in the coding. Is this a link with any SEO value? Is google able to see this link? Note: Upon inspecting the actual link on the page, I do see coding with a followed link, but on the page source, only the actual table in which it is listed shows in the coding, with none of the content - including our link, showing.

When pitching a whitepaper as Push Content for Link Building, is it ok to give the person I'm pitching a link to a landing page with a form on it?
When pitching a whitepaper as Push Content for Link Building (i.e. pushing out content that my client has created), is it ok to give the person I'm pitching a link to a landing page with a form on it? Or should I create a landing page with the whitepaper included on it? I’m not sure if the client will be ok with this b/c I know they use the whitepaper for sales purposes to gain leads. For example, my pitch email would include a line such as this, "the whitepaper can be found at LINK and I'd love if you could share it with your readers." I think it may be weird/a little wrong to ask a webmaster to include a link on his site to a landing page with a form to get the whitepaper. Does this make sense? What have others done with whitepapers as Push Content for link building?

Hello everyone, I am building links for an e-commerce site and I need to increase the value of the links we get by placing them on specific pages in order to pass more juice to inner pages. Which part of the website should I point the links to? Because there is no content section on the site what I can do is either link to the homepage (not an option) or link to inner pages such as category/subcategory/product pages. My doubt is that it wouldn't look natural to link to products pages from a piece of content or from a site where people go with the intention not to buy but to get information. Any opinions on this?

I am not an SEO expert by any means, just trying to improve the ranking of my own personal real estate site. Are directory links good for backlinks, or are they a waster of time?
