Inbound link not showing up.
-
Helloi ,
So i am pretty new to the MOZ community but already love it! learning so much! however ...
I have set a crawl for our website http://www.robinsonsmotorgroup.co.uk after talking with our marketing departmnet they wanted some informtion on a add placed on http://www.eastlife.co.uk/ - the add was placed on the homepage. However i cannot see the http://www.eastlife.co.uk/ coming up as a backlink.
Why is this?
Best Wishes
Simon

Hi Martin!
Two possibilities immediately come to mind.
The first is that that link simply hasn't yet appeared in our Mozscape link index. You can learn a bit more about how we index the web here, under the Frequently Asked Questions tab. The next update is projected for June 23.
The other possibility is that the link is marked "nofollow" or is otherwise uncrawlable, which is often the case with ads. If that's the case, it may never show up in OSE. That said, since an ad is a paid link, it really wouldn't be a part of your organic link profile.
Does that make sense?

Well looking at that page Simon, I see lots of scrolling adverts, but if you want some page data, head over to SEMrush and enter that URL.
Any more questions, just ask

It's hard to say Simon. That is something only Moz could answer for you.
What data is your marketing department after? If it's click-throughs, then you will be better setting it up as a click event to be tracked in Google Analytics.

Hi Simon,
When was the ad placed? If it was recently, it might just not be picked up by anything as yet.
What are you using to look for back-link data? If it is OSE or similar, remember that they don't have every site and page in their own database, so might just not be crawled as yet.

We're looking at providing SEO for a website that has the majority of its incoming links from websites created solely to provide links. Few have bad spam rankings. How worried should I be about those links?
The majority of incoming links to a prospect's website are from website pages apparently created solely to provide links to the website. Few have high spam scores. The sites linking to the main site have versions of blogs with linked text. They seem to be providing positive SEO value now, but I'm concerned they might get noticed and hurt the main site in the future.

How do we get rid of irrelavant inbound links
Hi Moz Community, We were previously doing Content services and Design services. Now, we are only into design service and we have deleted all content services related pages. Our website has many inbound links coming because of the content services pages but they are not relevant to our present service anymore. Will this affect our credibility on google and other search engines? We have applied 410 code to many of these old pages. We have also redirected some of them to the wayback pages. However, they still appear as one of the popular pages. Is there any solution for this? What can we do to do away with many of these inbound links coming to our website which are not relevant anymore to our current service? Your advice is so much appreciated. Thanks!

Internal linking anchor text with automated ASP.NET link building
Hi Everyone I really need some help here, the problem I have must be one that many have. I have a simple e-commerce style website so 1 product page can in fact get 40-50 internal links to it. These links come from a mixture of: 1. The parent category pages that the product sits on (Rugged PDA) and in turn the 10 filter pages of this category page (Rugged PDA, ordered by battery size). 2. Alternative product list on other product pages, So many products link to each other as alternatives. From Google analytics we can see that visitors like to browse product to product seeing 5 alternatives on each page with titles like "Smaller", "more rugged" etc. 3. Manufactuer pages, so we have a link to each product from each manufacturer home page where we talk lots about each manufacture we resell. We also have links from images used in the website. So its a nice usable website but we're finding that Google is still telling us in Webmaster tools that it thinks some links are dubious and we're trying to find out why. We only now have 190 external links to the website, most are internal and from the website or our blog on a subdomain. The problem we think is that we generate the category and products pages all dynamically so the anchor text is looking the same. Will this potentially create issues for us? Dave

Link Building
I noticed another SEO builds backlinks (tons) on a social media profile that then has a link to his client's site. Another site he builds backlinks are a bitly account that 301's to the clients account. Why would you do this? Is it that you can build links indiscriminately to build a page up in PR to 3-4-5 PR, then pass that higher PR to your site (safe). Is that PR building method better than placing 100's of smaller PR links on your site? It seems logical that if you passed in a tremendous amount of juice to juice a site up to PR4, you won't make your main site PR4 by JUST that link. You would need to build a lot of PR4 sites to make your site PR4. Why not just put all the backlinks on the main page instead of building up secondary social profiles etc... Please reveal this secret. I know a lot of SEOs are using this method. Help 🙂

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?

Tracking new inbound links
I suspect there might be an easy way to do this.. but alas Icould not seem to find it with by performing some search queries in the Q and A thus figured I would just ask :).. sorry if being repetitive with this question. I have all sorts of tools to track the number of overall inbound links to my site, but is there an easy tool to check for specific new inbound links from one specific page/site..aka if I set up a link in a directory or I get a mention in an article.. what is the easiest way to search to see if this link has been picked up by google and how much link juice it might be giving to my site? Thanks for your time, John
