Not Receiving Credit for all Linking Domains
-
Hey guys,
So I'm having trouble understanding why we aren't receiving credit for linking root domains by Moz. Our site URL is https://www.expertip.net
Google states that we have 3,648 links - most of which were obtained by Yext indexing us for our locations. We don't seem to be getting credit for ANY of those links. Most seem to be reputable, like yellowpages.com, etc. and google shows 156 domains.
Any help here can be appreciated. I believe that we've followed best practices as far as root domains and 301s go. I've attached images to show further.
Thanks,

Hi Greg,
As Moz's Open Site Explorer (like most other link indexing tools) crawls sites independently to discover links pointing back to your site, there is often disparity between the numbers reported between of them and with what Google reports in Search Console.
That being said, Moz will likely find these links eventually, they just may be in the queue for indexing, or were not present the last time Moz visited those site's pages.
Thanks,
Jake

Fixing broken links from old domain
Howdy Mozfans, I am fixing some broken links and I was wondering if someone could help me out. Multiple old domains (www.olddomain1.com, www.olddomain2.com and so on) have been migrated to www.currentdomain.com/olddomain1 and www.currentdomain.com/olddomain2 over a year ago. The old domains redirect to the current domain but we found that a lot of those were redirecting to 404 pages at the current domain. We now redirected all URL’s that were on the old domains correctly. Will those redirects ever get indexed (and passing linkjuice) since the old domains haven’t been used for such a long time? If not, would it be a good idea to redirect the 404 pages on the current domain (that were a result of the previous redirects)? Thanks in advance!

Should receiving dozens of legitimate links make you nervous?
Hi all, Google has made it clear that it considers links built through press release sites as manipulative link building and one can assume that they refer in this context to press release sites that exist only for SEO reasons. But it is also possible to receive a link in a press agency dispatch such as Reuters, afp etc. In this case, a site might receive dozens or even hundreds of links that have many characteristics of spammy links because they are from pages with identical content they have identical anchor text, which might even be a money keyword there are usually no canonical tags on the referring pages they appear in a matter of hours or a few days On the other hand of course, the links will appear on very reputable sites, as these are regular media sites. Do you know any case studies that look at this issue? Did you experience it yourself? It just happened to me. I got even two links (both to my site's homepage) in a dispatch the first link has a four word expression as anchor text that is not really related to the topic of my site. The linked page now is search result #24 for this expression the second link has my brand name as anchor text, which does include a money keyword No warnings in Webmastertools so far. Should I worry or even go as far as disallowing these links? Thanks for sharing your experience and opinion!

When giving presentations in our industry, we often find that the PDF or PPT document is then hosted on the origination's domain for download by event attendees. If these files have links, do they count as inbound followed links?

What is a good ratio of total links to linking root domains?
Is 100 total links for every linking domain too high? I suppose I could also look at ratios of sites that are doing well in the rankings.

Domain extensions and link building
Hi, If you were trying to rank your website for a search term in Google UK, would it be more beneficial to build links from .co.uk websites then any other? I have read on Hubspot if your targeting UK rankings then link building from .co.uk domains will have a good impact on UK rankings? Thanks
