Newbie Q: How soon should i see backlink from guest post
-
I recently got featured in couple of blog posts and there were back-links to my site. How soon should i expect to see these in Moz Open Explorer and also in Google Search Console?
If i don't see these links, is there something I need to do?
Thanks

Thanks man.

Well, if you can improve the quality of backlink somehow - move it to higher DA domain or higher PA page, then sure - go ahead. Just make sure that your efforts would be worth it, cause if you gonna spend 4 hours on it to increase DA by 1, there is no point in it. It'd better to get another link.

Thanks Dmitrii. This answers.
So my other part of the question- if I don't see the back link say in 1-2 cycles. Is there something I can or should do? Like talk to blogger who featured my site and ask to change things?

Hi there.
You should see link in Open Site Explorer after next recrawl, which is scheduled on Feb 28 - https://moz.com/products/api/updates
If your blog posts were created very recently or on small DA websites, then it might take till next recrawl.
As for Google Search Console - it's usually detected pretty quick. Maybe couple weeks. But, sometimes for unknown reasons it can take way longer than that - up to several months, but it's unlikely.
Hope this helps.

Backlinks from a secondary domain
Hi i finally figured out why my link profile is out of wack. Apparently we had a second domain registered that for some reason was active and linking to us - somewhat duplicated site. no idea when or how that happened. I wasnt with the company then. anyhow Ive now pointed the domain to a blank folder since I dont know how to disable it in 1&1 Hosting (if anyone knows please let me know!). Im wondering if this is enough? will the links still be there indexed even though the domain points to a blank folder? also how can I get google to profile my backlinks again? so I can see if it worked. Currently waiting for a new Moz crawl so Ill see if at least there my profile is looking healthier. thanks in advance!

How long for backlinks to kick in?
Lets say you do a guest post, Google indexes the article which must mean it has found the link back. Would you expect to see movement straight away? Some of my latest guest posts (in the last week) have been indexed but have shown no movement at all, but when I check WMT for links coming in they are not in the list so im guessing they have not taken full effect?

How to Check the Amount of Deep Backlinks?
I'm thinking about checking the amount of deep backlinks on my site because I have a hunch that I don't have enough of them. Now, the problem is that I have no idea what tool (on-line or offline) I need to use. I did some Google research but it did not give me any results.

Guest Blogging
I am looking to get into guest blogging for our retail brick-and-mortar store to increase more local search traffic. 1. Any local SEO recommendations/tips you have? 2. Can you post the same article in multiple places? Or is this a huge no-no? 3. For local search, should we focus on article directories or guest blogs? Thanks in advance for your feedback, and sorry that it's a three-parter! 🙂

Commenting on an old post
I've been playing around with OSE and found one of my competitors has a decent link coming from a post created in 2008. It only has two comments, one from my competitor with a link back to his site. The page has a PA: 55, it seems like an easy link but since the post is 3 years old im not sure its appropriate even though commenting is open. Any thoughts?
