Backlinks not showing up
-
I've been noticing that not all links that a website obtains are showing up as a backlink. For example, the following page has a link to a website (**www.pwgglaw.com)**at the bottom of the page.
http://www.ocbar.org/AllNews/NewsView/tabid/66/smid/384/ArticleID/564/Default.aspx
I went to opensiteexplorer and typed in pwgglaw.com and it didn't list the ocbar.org as a backlink.
Is this right? If not, then how do you force the link from ocbar.org to show up as a backlink?

Also keep in mind that Open Site Explorer does not crawl the entire web, just the top 25-35% of it. That page is buried a bit deep on the site, so it the OSE crawl may not get that deep on the site. OSE and Google are two different crawlers, so Google may well see the link when OSE doesn't.

Did you try running an "Advanced report" from the Campaigns area? This will provide you with up to 100,000 links, which presumably would include everything that SEOmoz has indexed. As Keri pointed out, this might not be everything that's out there.
Is it a relatively new link to your site? If that's the case the page containing the link might not have been crawled yet.

Sponsoring a show/play
Hey, How does it work with sponsorships and paid back links? I have a lawyer website, and I know lots of people who do plays and play shows. I could easily sponsor a band for like $100 and get a link on the page. Is this allowed? I could even write stuff on their page to make it more relevant. let me know, thanks.

Redirecting broken backlink to my site
Hello guys, I found an expired domain with inbound links from 41 different root domains, almost all of them from relevant sources. I have 2 ideas in my mind: A) I am thinking about buying this expired domain and place a 301 redirect to a post in my blog who talks about a similar subject.Relevance: let's say the content of the expired domain is about "horses wallpapers" and the content of my site is about "horse transport". Not the same, but a post in my blog could talk about "top 10 horse wallpapers". Do you see what I mean? B) Contact all the webmasters with broken links, alert them and expect they are nice and place a nice link to the post in my blog talking about "top 10 horse wallpapers". What do you think? Should I take A or B? Any other idea? I added a picture with the Domain Rank of the broken links 🙂 Thanks a lot !!! Luis V1LZBC3
