Getting some links, when will I see results?
-
Hey Guys,
I started getting some links to my website. When do you think I will see an increase in rankings?
Thanks!

Patrick is on the money here,
when you say you are getting links, did you go out and get them or are they natural.
I don't think google is interested in 99% of any link you can go out and get yourself.
And those that appear naturally are also 99% crap.
You can get good sites to link to you but it is not easy, and you may get good sites to link to you naturally over time. IMO you are better off spending time in making sure your sites crawls perfectly, making sure you have good content, and describing your site to google using structured data.
If your site is a good result for your keywords click data alone can do wonders for ranking -
Hey Raf,
There are many facets to SEO and getting backlinks is only one of them and does not guarantee instant results. It's a good thing though that you're focusing on getting backlinks now, but keep in mind to be extra careful in this process.
If you're getting Do Follow backlinks from relevant websites with high PR, chances are, you'll get good results in due time. But you're asking when, right? That I can't answer, but hopefully it won't take long.
However, if you're getting backlinks from irrelevant websites, you might want to refrain this process. It will only harm your ranking status.
Also, no follow links won't help you increase your site's ranking.
Hope this helps.

I agree with Patrick. If you're getting quality natural links from authoritative sites, you're improving your site's ability to rank for keywords. This ability to rank should help you as you improve your on-site SEO and ad high quality content to your site. Since more authoritative sites get crawled more often, quality links should impact your site quicker.
I think it's worth noting that the increase in rankings will also depend on the competition for the keywords you're trying to rank for. Using Moz's keyword difficulty checker will give you an idea of how tough it will be to be to get on page 1 of the SERPs. If you're doing everything right in terms of on-site SEO, keyword optimization and your backlink profile is on par, or better than the competition, you'll have a good chance at seeing your rankings improve.

Hi there
It really depends on the site linking to you, how relevant it is, and when your site/their site gets crawled.
Keep in mind, however, that there are so many more factors that go into ranking than simply getting links. I would start looking into opportunities to raise your Domain Authority and make sure your on-site SEO is on point.
I would also make sure that you take a look at Moz's numerous guides and Academy - there are a ton of great resources and tips that can help you go above and beyond just the world of link building.
Start taking a look at the guides / resources above and begin prioritizing the opportunities you feel can best move the needle on your website. The work is never done!
Hope you're well! Good luck!

Why aren't links to my site from YouTube showing up in my link reports?
Our company is paying for a service to create hundreds of videos/month for us with links back to our primary domain. If I go to YouTube I see the videos with the links, but YouTube does not show in my link reports. Why not?

Does the ratio of external nofollow links to external "do follow" links matter in terms of SERPs ranking?
My site has an external link nofollow:dofollow ratio of approximately 1:1 That is, there are about as many nofollow external links as "do follow" external links. I have an impression that the ratio of no-follow to "do follow" links is a factor in the way that our website shows up in SERPs. I have the impression from reading a variety of sources, and from looking at Seomoz, that calculate "trust" factors as if they mattered (in SERPs), that seem to value a relatively low nofollow:dofollow ratio. Am I correct about that? Thanks,

Blog traffic / link ratio? (Esimated of how much traffic will result in a link)
Hi, Was wondering if people could please tell me some estimates of how much traffic is likely to gain links to a blog post? For example 1,000 hits = 1 link, Hence 10,000 hits = 10 links to a blog post? I understand there is no magic ratio I just want to know what people have achieved. I’m after averages not just a one off really successful blog post too. Please specify the topic you achieve this in e.g. SEO, photography, business, heath... etc.

External link
Hi guys! You must get many questions about external links... This is mine. If I get an external link with good authority ranking in google, but it is not relevant to the site (for example, my site is about marquees, but we could get links from schools, which are our main clients, or any type of client) Does that affect negatively somehow to the rankings? or there is good value on it even is not related? Thanks! Adriana
