Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Rex,

Another thing you may want to do, check Google Webmasters.  Sometimes the information on there is updated faster than the SEOmoz tool.

Hi Rex,

It takes time for the the Link Analysis to crawl through the pages and links associated with them.

I have had links to my site which were created over 6 weeks ago which are beginning to filter through to the system now.

Be patient and your hard work of creating (the high quality, industry specific) links will show.

Thanks

Thanks a  lot for your input everyone, I will submit manually and continue to get quality backlinks.

Hi guys,

I have recently launched my ecommerce jewellery site - www.luxuryfinejewellery.com - and noticed some serious swings in SERP over the last couple of weeks.

From ranking No 2, 3 and 4 for the keyword 'luxury fine jewellery' on Google.com, the homepage periodically disappears from the Top 50 altogether.

I thought it was the Sandbox, as I recently purchased the domain name, within the last 6 weeks, however the fact that it does rank on the 1st page some of the time is a mystery.

Has anyone also experienced this? Could you provide some advice on what to expect until the the rankings settle.

Thanks in advance,

Satbir

Hi Raj,

You wrote 'Google says that if find that you're involved in any link building activities, we may penalize you' then every webmaster in the world should be worried.

There is a lot of fretting going on esp from people who have seen a decline in their SERPs.  Don't believe all the hype.

I'm sure if you have the right content and bring value to the table, none of the Google updates will have an adverse effect on your site

Hi Raj,

I believe both of the mentioned tactics would have a negative impact on the competitior site, however you need to take into account the overall link portfolio that the competitor has already developed.

If they have high PR links, an active well received blog etc these deliberate actions on your part may not be effective in the long-term.

Also as we are still assessing the implications of the P Mammal updates, it is too early for anybody to give a definitive answer on their long term impact.  Of course, you have to be aware of updates in the forthcoming weeks/months too.

In these  would advise you to concentrate on improving your own site.  In the long term that is your best strategy regardless of what other people are doing.

Hope you find that information useful.  Remember keep you mindset focused on your business.  First and foremost.
