Am i getting backlink benefits from sites i design and host
-
I own & host over 300 domains for as many businesses. They all link back to my site from every page. but seomoz shows only hundred. so do other seo tools. why is that?
-
I didn't attribute the thumbs down to any specific person and did see that you gave the "good answer" award.
Lots of people think that their attribution links are good as gold. I thought it was one of them giving the thumbs down.
If you click thumbs up, I think that the thumbs down will disappear.
-
Not sure why you concluded I gave the thumbs down intentionally!
If you notice i clicked good answer as soon as I read it and I thought it was helpful, which is also evident in my reply. If anything it would have been inadvertent. Please, be gentle..
Lynn, your answer was awesome.. thanks once again..
-
For your question regarding the benefit, site wide links especially on the same host (or a handful of hosts) all pointing to you are not going to give you much benefit and could potentially bring penalties...............
This was a really good answer... don't know why anyone would give it thumbs down. Probably same type of person who shoots the messenger.

I also used to put a link on sites I made, because the sites were rarely relevant I did not think they would be of much value but it wouldn't hurt.
That has changed, my site dropped of the map when penguin came in, it only came back when I removed lots these but not only these types of links.
-
Not parked. active domains with thousands of pages each that we have built for our clients over the last 6 years.
-
A million pages linking in is a whole lot! I would be very careful if those are mainly site wides, it is asking for trouble.
As for the seomoz tool, I too sometimes wish it would show a link it is not, but patience is a virtue. If the site is decently linked, the seomoz bot will likely get to it at some point.
Try looking at it another way though. If a link is continuously NOT showing in the seomoz report it is a pretty strong indication in many instances that the link/page has a really low benefit. Really low in this case would mean pretty much non existent. So in that respect I find the seomoz link reports useful for focusing much more on quality than quantity if you see what I mean.
-
you can use the private ip service. I think that is very good like ix webhosting
-
That helps..
I did a google webmaster tools link lookup and i see all my sites with over a million pages linking in.
I guess that makes me somewhat happy that google has found them. I understand what you said about site wide links. i will work on that.
But makes me wonder how much importance I should give seomoz tools at this point!
Thanks for your reply!

Hi Anoop,
For your question regarding the benefit, site wide links especially on the same host (or a handful of hosts) all pointing to you are not going to give you much benefit and could potentially bring penalties. Be especially careful about stuffing keywords into those links. Your best bet if you want to keep the reference to you as a designer is to put the links only on the hompage or alternatively on a site credits type page and keep them to branded links only (ie the name of your company).
As to why all of them are not showing up in your reports, seomoz and other tools can only ever index a subset of all the links/pages on the web. I would think that the sites that are not showing up maybe have small link profiles (few external links from other sites) and as such are just not getting crawled that often because references to them from other sites are not found that often. Over time if their link profiles get stronger then you will likely start to see more of them appear in the reports.
Hope that helps!

They have to be found before they can show.
I assume these are parked domains?

Backlink Indexing - will this technique hurt or help?
So I came across this idea on YouTube: Indexing your backlinks. I understand its not enough to just have google crawl your pages - you want them indexed. So, if you create backlinks on say a blog or social profile, will it benefit you to have them submitted to other popular blogs, news / pr sites, video channels - of which may be unrelated - for the sole purpose of getting them not just crawled but indexed? There are SEO companies that I have seen that claim they do exactly that (publish your backlinks all over the web - making backlinks for backlinks) but in reality is this a good thing or a bad thing? Could this help rankings or hurt them?

Should I delete older posts on my site that are lower quality?
Hey guys! Thanks in advance for thinking through this with me. You're appreciated! I have 350 pieces of Cornerstone Content that has been a large focus of mine over the last couple years. They're incredibly important to my business. That said, less experienced me did what I thought was best by hiring a freelance writer to create extra content to interlink them and add relevancy to the overall site. Looking back through everything, I am starting to realize that this extra content, which now makes up 1/3 my site, is at about 65%-70% quality AND only gets a total of about 250 visitors per month combined -- for all 384 articles. Rather than spending the next 9 months and investing in a higher quality content creator to revamp them, I am seeing the next best option to remove them. From a pros perspective, do you guys think removing these 384 lower quality articles is my best option and focusing my efforts on a better UX, faster site, and continual upgrading of the 350 pieces of Cornerstone Content? I'm honestly at a point where I am ready to cut my losses, admit my mistakes, and swear to publish nothing but gold moving forward. I'd love to hear how you would approach this situation! Thanks 🙂

How to make second site in same niche and do white hat SEO
Hello, As much as we would like, there's a possibility that our site will never recover from it's Google penalties. Our team has decided to launch a new site in the same niche. What do we need to do so that Google will not mind us having 2 sites in the same niche? (Menu differences, coding differences, content differences, etc.) We won't have duplicate content, but it's hard to make the sites not similar. Thanks

Untrusted site - malware!
I recently had my link profile done as I was badly effected by something in 2012 (Penguin, Panda.. who knows? never got a message from google in webmaster about anything). Loads of INBOUND links were identified as being 'dodgy'' and the person highlighted them in different colors. However, another seo éxpert' told me to leave them (perhaps remove just 3 of them) and don't bother with the rest. Now I am not sure what to do? Any opinions? RED

3 were highlighted as being from untrusted malware. I think I should disavow them but really, would 3 make that much difference for a fall in my site? ORANGE
240 were said to be spam articles and I was advised:
The following pages highlighted in orange are on sites created for the purpose of publishing articles for link building. Since the same articles appear on multiple sites, Google views this as duplicate content. Links to Monteverde Tours in these articles should be removed or tagged "nofollow." Where this is not possible, the domains should be disavowed. YELLOW
85 were said to be from Low-quality directories
The following pages highlighted in yellow are on low-quality directories and link farms. Links to Monteverde Tours on these pages should be removed or the domains disavowed. GREEN
340 were said to be from sites were the page was not found , Account suspended, Problem loading page, Link removed, domain expired
The following pages highlighted in green include pages whose links to Monteverde Tours have been removed and pages that were inaccessible for various reasons, as shown in the Comments column. These pages or their domains should be disavowed to remove them from the Google index. I have read (and asked on this forum) about disavow but the more I read the more I am getting confused about the next action. I tried for one year to get rid of any bad outbound links, did blogging, social media, improved content, landing pages etc but all to no avail. Any opinions appreciated. I am not looking for a magic bullet, I know there isn't one. I know I need to keep improving content etc but after a year of NO improvements should I consider the link removal route? <colgroup><col width="215"></colgroup>

Infographic submission sites potentially offering paid links....
Good Morning/Afternoon fellow Mozzers, I recently created an infographic and am now looking to get it distributed via as many publications as possible. I discovered some great sites with collections of infographics.However I have discovered a multitude of sites offering to review and feature the infographic, or "express" submissions so the graphic features faster for a price..... links below. http://www.amazinginfographics.com/submit-infographics/ http://infographicjournal.com/submit-infographics/ 2 questions 1. Is this considered as buying links? My instincts say Yes. 2. Some sites offer mix of free and "express" paid submissions. If the answer to Q.1 is yes, should I avoid them all together even if my graphic gets picked up free? Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Methods for getting links to my site indexed?
What are the best practices for getting links to my site indexed in search engines. We have been creating content and acquiring backlinks for the last few months. They are not being found in the back link checkers or in the Open Site Explorer. What are the tricks of the trade for imporiving the time and indexing of these links? I have read about some RSS methods using wordpress sites but that seems a little shady and i am sure google is looking for that now. Look forward to your advice.
