Grr SEO linking.. I am not understanding why I wouldn't have lots more links.. Please help. Thanks
-
I have done the whole moz open exploer and I am not understanding why my site wouldn’t have more links registering to my website.. I have lots of sites(directorys and 3rd party) with my website domain in them. The only one that is linking to my site is BBB.com and my advertsing with saint paul press.
But if I have links with all kinds of automotive directories why wouldn’t they register?
I am sure this a simply answer or that I am not understanding something. Thanks for your help!

Hi Scott,
Just a little tip for you - set a Google Alert for your brand name, URL or title that others will use to link to you, and then when they appear, you will get an e-mail from Google - this is normally a much faster way to approach discovery.
But as Donna said, no one place will report everything linking to you as they have limited resources to go off and crawl the web. The best thing to do is gather resources from different locations and collate them (MOZ, Search Console, Ahrefs & Majestic).

Scott,
Questions like this get asked all the time in this forum. I suggest you use the search function on the right to look up some of the answers. Quickly though (and I’m paraphrasing another answer), Moz isn't going to discover all your links because it (like others) has limited resources. Some links will get found in subsequent crawls, others may never get found.
All the link research tools suffer from this same constraint, some more than others. None pick up as many links as Google, and Google doesn't share all the links it finds with us.

How much 'ranking power' would a link from a privacy policy page of a Big Brand have if the site content is totally unrelated?
Let's say that Site A is a large brand with high authority ( Moz shows it at 90 DA). Site A is about “Blue Shoes”. Site B is about “fishing”. If Site A links from their privacy policy page to Site B … would that inbound link carry enough weight in a way that could impact rankings for Site B given that the content is totally unrelated and it's a link from a privacy policy? I’m asking if the work to get clients/partners do this help. I have a hypothetical question for you all! Site A is a large brand with high authority ( Moz shows it at 90 DA). Site A is about “Blue Shoes”. Site B is about “fishing”. If site A links from their privacy policy to Site B … would that inbound link carry enough weight in a way that could impact rankings?

Is there an extra SEO benefit for linking to pages that link to you?
Currently working on a link-building strategy and have gotten a few mentions. Just curious if there is any SEO benefits of linking back to the pages my site was mentioned and linked on? Would love to hear your thoughts, thanks!

Does having our products on Amazon or EBay help with our SEO ranking?
We have an ecommerce web site, which ranks ok , but we are trying to build up our SEO scores. We're looking at links and were wondering if having our products listed on either Amazon or Ebay (or both) will actually help with ranking of our site? We sometimes have products listed on ebay with a reference to the higher price that the item is selling for on our main site. Thank you.

Open Site Explorer - Finding 404s from my competitor's external linking Root Domains
I want to find websites that have linked 404s to my competitors. My goal is to contact webmasters who have linked to my competitors with 404s, but I cannot figure out how to get Open Site Explorer to give me that data. I can easily see this in GWT for my own site, but I need this for my competition instead. Does anybody know a quick way to get this information?

Has anyone seen positive results from using Submiteaze to submit to directories? I know an SEM agency that uses it for clients' link building campaigns, but I don't know if it is worth buying. Are there better alternatives?
I would like to start a link building initiative at my company for a new website, and would like to know if the value of the links built using Submiteaze would be worth the money.
