Hi I have been undertaking back linking for our website and have submitted our site to a range of online directories and quite a few of them are currently live. However when I download the Open site explorer report I'm not seeing these links included in the back link list. Can anyone tell me when they are likely to appear please?

Hi I was wondering if any one knows of an automatic updating service that notifies you when a back link to a site becomes live? Could this be achieved in google alerts perhaps?

I have been adding our website to online directories which quite often allow me to add a brief description of the organization and add a list of Key words. With regards to the keywords should I list keywords from the organisiantion description that I have entered on the site or should I use the key words that we are trying to rank for, that don’t necessarily feature in the description on the site

Is there any way in SEOMOZ I wan track whether my SEO efforts have moved me up the google rankings? I'm not sure how to benchmark to establish whether my efforts have made an improvement or not

The majority of the back links I have been  creating link directly to our home page and to the store page. Is this the best approach or should I be trying to spread the links throughout our site to include product  categories and subcategories etc?
