How soon should links show up in OSE?
-
Just wondering, in general, how quickly newly placed inbound links should get indexed by Google, and show up in OSE?
-
I don't know how frequently Google will index new links. For OSE, the linkscape release date was the 25th, but the crawl was done probably a couple of weeks before that. It takes some time to crawl, then some time to process those results.

Thanks, Keri. Any idea how frequently Google will index new links? I see that linkscape was updated on the 25th and as of today I don't see the links being reflected in OSE. Is there a chance Google hasn't gotten to it yet?
-
Linkscape is updated about every four weeks (rather than the more frequent crawl of Google), so it can take a bit longer to show up in OSE. You can check the release dates for the Linkscape crawl at http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/w/page/25141119/Linkscape-Schedule. It might take a couple of cycles to show up in OSE, and keep in mind that Linkscape only crawls about 1/4 of the web that is out there.

My experience has been that links show up in Google before they show up in OSE. The time can vary but usually not more than about 6 weeks. (Often not that long, but does take time). If your links are not showing after that time and you have checked to insure you are indexed, headers ok, etc. I would suggest digging a bit deeper on the site to discover what is happening. Expecting links to show before a month is usually wishful thinking, though I have found links showing up in Yahoo site explorer sooner.

Internal Link Building and Link Juice Quality
Hi There! I manage the website for a law office that covers many geographical locations. For very specific niche content, we would prefer to create one piece of content and link to the various geographic locations where we would handle that topic instead of posting multiple variations of the same content for each specific geographical area. If we put a button on these pages that has links to each location, will that have the same "link juice" effect to the pages we're linking that linking directly in the text would? (example: the Where can we help you? button on this page : http://www.zdfirm.com/volkswagen-recall/) Thank you!

There is a website that OSE has identified with a spam score of 5, it back links to me with a very specific key word. How important is it to have them remove those links?

Reciprocal links
Are they worth anything, if they are from relevant sites? I'm I better off avoiding linking back wherever possible?

My best links not showing in Open Site Explorer
Why is it that OSE does not display my strongest backlinks, including those from Wikipedia, a legitamite .edu, Squidoo, etc.? Some of those links have been live for a long time, and some (not all) are "dofollow". Impossible to do a thorough backlink analysis in this situation.

Link Building Ideas?
Hi everyone, I am currently working on a site where people can buy mail-order bagels, i.e. the bagels are shipped via postal mail. It's a good alternative for places that have no good bagel stores nearby, especially in small, rural towns. I am about to launch a link-building campaign for the website, but am a little stuck as to where to begin. My first thought was guest posting, but it seems like the vast majority of food blog owners are very protective of their blogs and rarely, if ever, allow guest posts. I also thought about doing sponsored reviews (i.e. sending mommy bloggers free samples in exchange for a review), but that's essentially a paid link, i.e. a no-no. There are of course generic web directories, but those only get you so far, and article marketing is out of the question (too spammy). Was hoping I might be able to bounce off some ideas off of you all. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance for whatever tips/ideas you might be able to share 🙂 Lukas

JavaScript is crawled by search engines, isn’t it? Does it mean that links embedded in JavaScript pass link juice?
I wonder If links embedded in JavaScript from an external Website pass link juice to the linked page and thus have a positive effect on google rankings. I read that JavaScipt is craweld. Does it mean that also the link juice is passed? I'm looking forward to your answers.

Links to my website don't show up on OSE
Hello folks, I made some links to my website: www.mediavatar.com.br , but on OSE it doesn't appear. Such as: http://www.meusdownloads.com.br/p.jsp?ppID=0128 Why this above link does not appear on OSE? Probabbly its a newbie question, but my knowledge about link building is not that much. Thanks.
