Why Google is not getting many of the links to my site?
-
Hello,
I have a website for cosmetics, selling and a lot of information (http://www.vipcosmetica.com). For about half a year I've been working also in seo for several google keywords.
My question is about the external links to my site. Using different tools, including those of SEOMoz, I see just a few links to my site, however there are plenty, because I've been putting them myself, in public directories, related blogs, industry websites and so on. Alexa shows 5 links only, OpenSiteExplorer shows 4, and Market Samurai 9. I thinks theres should be like 50-60 links, minimum, in pages with good google PR (Youtube, Vimeo, Vulka, Hotfrog, Digg, Flickr, etc.).
In Alexa, recently two more links appeared, from two blogs that have copied some content from my site (priveta policy) without changing the original links that point to other pages on my site, and those are the links that Alexa shows now.
What could be the reason the rest of the links do not appear at all?
Thank you very much

I made some changes in the webmastertools settings for the site, yesterday (region, domain) and now I have information about links from external sites (from around 50 different webs like flickr, youtube, etc, facebook, etc).
I used also the google command link: in the search, and I've got many results also. So, as far as I understand this means that the backlinks info is properly indexed within google.
The problem is I think this linking info is not counting, somehow, because I tried again with SEOmoz / MarketSamurai / OpenSiteExplorer and there is no backlinkg info, just 8 or 9 links, from very unknown sites (not youtube, flickr, facebook, etc.). So I really dont understand what is happening....
Thanks again!!

Its hard to say when the link will be picked up, if it was a link from BBC then a matter of days, if it was on a blogger blog that someone setup years ago and has not touched it then could take along time.

I use webmastertools but in the links section, shows always a message 'NO DATA AVAILABLE' and I did not find anything clear about the reason for that, but after months there is still no data.
I thought about the sites where I put the links to be spam sites, but, some of them, I check with google and other tools, and they have high PR (4 to
and also quite good authority ratio, etc. I just think there is something basic I'm missing!!! Do you kwnow how long it takes for google to pick up links, aprox? weeks, months? for example from a youtube video (the link is in the video description) ?
Anyway, I'll try the guest post on a blog, very good advise. Thanks a lot for your answer, really appreciate.
cheers

If you got webmaster tools hooked up it should show you in there links from external websites.
It does take time for links to appear but I think if you built 20 links in the first month at least 5-10 should be showing by now UNLESS...
The links you built are on websites which Google does not visit that much or the links are so deep into the site Google does not crawl that deep.
Do a guest post on a blog with PR2+ with some good followers on facebook and twitter, maybe a few rss subscribers and I bet within a month that link is picked up.

Guest Blogging Question? How many links in an article?
I am being offered by a blog to have more than 5 links in an article that points directly to our money sites. The blog is in the same niche. This is the first time i am being offered more than 2-3 links in an article. Should i do it? How many links should be in an article so not to be penalized by Google? Does it look unnatural to have more links in an article that points to the same site but different pages? Thanks

Site wide back links
Hi, One of our sites has a site-wide link from another site. So, Google sees 6700 pages from that site link to one of our pages. Is that something to be concerned about? The other site is http://www.daum.net/ We also have 2000 pages that blogspot.com links to us from. Both these sites have high domain authority, so I would hope all those links score well. But I certainly don't want to be penalized for links that appear spammy. Thank you in advance.

Should you avoid links from infographic sites?
Suppose you have an interesting infographic that you are promoting. Should you be cautious about having it published on sites that only publish infographics? Do you think these sites pass any link value?

Is it Better to Link to an Article or Post it on my Site?
I have a client who has a few articles written about her and posted on different news-related sites. She has asked me to capture these articles (we have permission) and create a section on her site for them. My question is this... From an SEO standpoint, would it be better to link _to the _articles, post them on her site or both? Or, maybe there's an even better way I'm not thinking of. Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kirk

Links from .edu sites
I have a band website and was thinking of making some link bait pages specifically designed to get links from high page rank music colleges and then funnel that page rank to my landing pages on my band site. I am planning on finding out what these colleges link to and create great information on pages on my site that the high page rank college websites will link to thereby boosting my trust and authority. How much will the trust and authority boost my site in the search engines? Because the colleges will be music colleges they should be relevant to my band site. Does this sound like a good strategy? Take care, Ron
