Unable to view link from Apprentices gov.uk site
-
Hi, I've noticed that when some companies are advertising for apprentices on the https://apprenticeshipvacancymatchingservice.lsc.gov.uk website they gain a followed link from the site. When I then use opensiteexplorer the link doesn't show. Does anyone know the reason for Moz not picking this up? Am I not giving it long enough to show? Your help would be very much appreciated.

Roger (the crawler for Moz) does not fill out forms. I can't see a way to find a listing without doing a search, and OSE would need to be able to browse these listings to be able to see them.

I did a check with Ahrefs, OSE as well as majesticSEO I could not find it please reference the information below and I did put the backlinks I was able to find in a CVS file you can download here
all the best,
Tom

I just did a very thorough search for you I used open site explorer, Ahrefs & majesticSEO
None of them found the URL or TLD that you were looking for that does not mean it does not exist however if it was recently linked to your domain then this could mean it is just not being picked up. There is a lot of information below including all the links to your site in a CSV
you have a lot of backlinks from directories I searched quite a bit I could not find it however your welcome to go to this CVS of your back links right here
All TLD's according to Ahrefs that are pointing to your domain.

I am sorry to say that I do not believe it is pointing to your site or it is not being picked up by either OSE, Ahrefs, majesticSEO
I hope this is of more help,
Thomas

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your reply. What I'm trying to do is find a particular link from the domain https://apprenticeshipvacancymatchingservice.lsc.gov.uk which is the uk apprenticeship vacancy website to the website of the company advertising the position which in a particular case is www. homecolours .com.
I cannot seem to see this backlink even though the backlink is from a very high authoritative .gov site.
When using opensiteexplorer it doesn't show and I was wondering if I'm not giving it enough time to show up. Is there another tool which I can use to find a specific backlink rather try to discover as many backlinks as possible?
Kind regards,GoMetrics

There is not one company that can pick up every single link that is on the web.
Anyone that has advertising on a website should not be getting a followed link.
All advertisements and affiliate links should be no follow
if you are trying to find links that are pointing to somebody else's site not pointing towards your site right?
I would use https://moz.com/researchtools/crawl-test
To find the links that are pointing to other people's domains. They are going to be able to be found very easily that way.
Just so you are aware no one tool on the web can find every single backlink.
For instance Moz open site Explorer needs to index your site along with other tools like MajesticSEO and Ahrefs
If you use all three of them and Google Webmaster tools you most likely have no issue finding what you need in terms of back links.
Moz OSE tends to be more like Google Webmaster tools and find more live links then dead links
Remember you must give all the tools time however you are looking for outbound links not inbound links or back links.
I use a combination of OSE & Aherfs some people like to use all three others different combinations. This is my choice and I think it is wise to use a combination of tools if you are doing back link exploration.
Hope this help,
Tom

Asking a site to remove a "nofollow" on a link to our client
Hello, We created a good infographic for a client of ours and a large tech site (DA 86) picked up and ran a story on it. We didn't contact this company asking them to feature it, they have just picked it up through other shares around the Web. I understand that, at the end of the day, it's their prerogative whether to "nofollow" their links or not, but surely they should be giving our client some credit as they have clearly deemed the graphic newsworthy and felt that it would appeal to their readership. I've emailed said tech site, but to no avail. Does anyone have any advice on this? Or is it just a case of they can do what the heck they want? I know that our client will still benefit from the additional referral traffic, but a follow link would have been nicer! Cheers, Lewis

How to derive link value from owned Pinterest-type site?
Good morning! Say the client is Acme Parakeets . . . if we created a "MyParakeetPin" Pinterest style board such as http://themifydemo.me/pinboard/ and promoted it to the parakeet community how might one set it up to generate maximum link value for www.acmeparakeets.com? And, did I set myself up for a 'tweet' joke?

Multiple links from a single web-site
When one good web-site (PR5) has a link to my web-site - it's great. But, if this site has a second link to my web-site from another page, is this also good? Or, let me ask in a different way, will my web-site get "double benefit" from that web-site?

My best links not showing in Open Site Explorer
Why is it that OSE does not display my strongest backlinks, including those from Wikipedia, a legitamite .edu, Squidoo, etc.? Some of those links have been live for a long time, and some (not all) are "dofollow". Impossible to do a thorough backlink analysis in this situation.

So I ran into a site that was not ranking 4 days ago and has over 2 million links to it on some keywords. My guess is this is a link bomb, but the issue is this is pushing one of my sites down. Does anyone know a good way to over come a bomb like this?
So I ran http://www.riogrande.com/ into this site not that long ago and wanted to see if any other SEO's have an opinion on it. I've seen a Google bomb before, but the amount of links going into this URL is insane. The thing is how does one over come a Google Bomb? Do you just wait to see what Google does or do you just hope to rank under that URL? I should also note that it appears that all the keywords to it are relevant to the sites content. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks

Value of Inbound Links to Pages With a lot of Outbound Links
Suppose you have a resource page of the Top 50 Awesome Sites in your niche. Since there are about 50 outbound links, then I would think there will be less Page Rank being passed to internal pages from internal links on the resource page. Since you are getting less PR passed to internal pages, are there other ways the inbound links can be beneficial, such as increasing the diversity of links of your domain? Sites like SEO Optimise seem to create a lot of Top 30 Resources lists and I have read that they think it is a strong tactic.
