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

i have already asked Moz but being in UK this will take a while. thanks for your advise Andy!

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.

Are these links helping
Hi, We have had a few new links for a client and we are hoping that we can get some feedback on whether these have any link juice. We dont want to waste our time with links that dont benefit the website.

Internal Links - How to Increase them, Categories not being considered as Internal Links
Hi All: As per my understanding, Internal Equity Passing Links is a metric defining PA. Now my website has around 65 internal links while few of my competitors have more than 180 links. I am unable to understand how to increase the internal links passing equity on my website, because I can see, more number of links on my website than my competitors but opensiteexplorer does not show that. I am really confused. Please help out if anyone knows something about this issue. Thanks in advance.

Disavow links
I am working on an account that has had several seo companies
Link Building | | JasperSEO
over the past year so around every corner I discover something new. One the
things I have found are that majority of links to the site is coming from an
outside blog but digging deeper I found that the blog is actually on the same
server as clients. Should I disavow links from that blog or should I leave it
alone?0 -

Linking articles to each other
I've been using white-hat article marketing to post original content about my niche to credible article directories (yes, I realize many of them were recently devalued). My question is: Is it a good or bad idea to have future articles link to older articles, as a way to increase the chances of having the older articles indexed, or increasing the amount of link juice they pass to my site (since they point to my site)? I get 2 links per article and was thinking of using 1 to point to a prior (related) article, and the other to point to my site.
