You're right: it is weird.

But even if there was a problem with your code -- as long as the code of the linking sites were OK -- then OSE will pick them up.

Internal links are obviously another story. I recommend checking some of your pages in GWT (use "Fetch as Googlebot")? It if comes back OK then your site is OK with big G (which is more important than anyone else).

Hey Tom,

SEOMoz only updates the OSE index once or twice a month. So new links won't show up until they do a refresh.

As long as Google sees them you're good.

As long as you're not getting any messages in Google Webmaster Tools, your code is probably in tip top shape.

My pleasure, Sylvana.

When you say wedding related links, do you mean wedding sites you can get links from?

If so, there are a lot of search strings to help you find them.

For example, if you wanted to do some guest posting, you'd use something like:

"weddings" + "write for us"

Or if you wanted to find resource pages that might add a link to your site (one of my personal favorite link building strategies), you might use:

"weddings" + inurl:links.

Hope that helps.

It usually is spammy. But it certainly doesn't have to be.

Matt hit the nail on the head: link building software isn't worth the trouble.

However, you CAN do white hat tiered link building.

For example, let's say that you published a guest post here at SEOMoz.

Now, the next time you publish a guest post somewhere else they probably won't hook you up with a contextual link. Your link is usually confined to the dreaded author bio area.

However, they'll usually allow you to link to helpful resources. Instead of linking to a random article, link to your guest post.

Another example:

Let's say that you were doing some broken link building. You found a page with lots of dead links pointing to SEO related content.

While you could suggest that they link to you, they'd be much more likely to link out to an authority site like SEOMoz.

When you email the site owner about their broken links, suggest that they link to your guest post.

The list goes on and on.

Tiered link building can definitely make your links more powerful. But like most black hat techniques, you can do it white hat style and get better results.
