Making sure links get indexed by google?
-
Hi I currently submitted to 30 seo directories & I just want to make sure my links get indexed by google so the link value passes onto my site.
Any suggestions about getting my links indexed?
I was thinking of either pinging or social book marketing the links!
What's your view, thanks.

will do cheers, & ye pretty new to directories submission anyway. I don't want to just submit to 100's of directories.

Just tell Google. Go to Google Webmaster Tools and submit a sitemap. Works for me everytime. 30 SEO directories? Sounds like you're a little new to SEO. Don't worry, Google will get around to indexing it.

Any suggestions about getting my links indexed?
I would go have a beer or an anti-anxiety pill and forget about them.

hummm interesting, I just wanted to be double safe my work gets rewarded seems as I went to the effort of submitting my site.
So basically if Google don't index the links they were no good to me in the first place? OR on the opposite side if I make sure google index them they are potentially crappy links?

Part of me wants to say, "If Google can't find the link on it's own, then you don't need the link."
The other part wants to say, "BookmarkingDemon is great for helping Google find your links."
One answer is better when writing a blog post about ethical SEO. The other, a realistic way to get 'garbage' links indexed (even if they still won't be worth much).

Unnatural link Manual Penalty by Google
Hi, Our product Quiz Maker help users to create quizzes and can share, embed etc. We have a link in our embed code which was DoFollow and we've got many doFollow links from the websites on which our quizzes got shared but these links are too old like 2009, 2012 etc. After that, to complying with Google policies, we've changed the dofollow link to nofollow in embed code. Here are two scenarios: 1.) We've too many dofollow links which are too old and we don't have control over it as these are the natural links, given by our users before we changed the embed code link. 2.) Now, we are getting nofollow links from the widget as the embed code consists of nofollow link. Our embed code is editable and user can change it to dofollow or nofollow as per their requirement. Moreover, some people shared quizzes on their website (without using embed code) with dofollow link. But, now, google is taking manual action penalty against us. How we can resolve it as it seriously affects the overall performance of our website. Thanks

If some nofollow links are showing up in Google Search Console, does that mean they are indeed passing link juice?

Inbound link is follow link but we put no follow link back - is it beneficial for rankings?
Dear Moz Community, We are operating in a niche market, where there are not so many content marketing options. What we are left with are link exchanging with relevant sites that are on the same topic but to not directly compete with us. Now we know that if we link back to site A and site a links back to us - for google this is not a very good link. But, some of the sites we are exchanging links with, do not know the term follow vs no follow links. My question - if your link is to site A is a no follow link but they give us a follow link - does it mean thats a better option than a follow vs follow. Thanks for help!

Too many external links vs linking root domains - good or bad?
Hi guys, After the latest Linkscape update, we noticed that our website have 424,671 external links with 4,395 linking root domains, so roughly 100 links/domain. Does Google consider this to be a negative thing or we do not need to worry about it. Many thanks. David

Make a new page or more links to existing page for 2nd keyword?
We have a page optimized for 'blue widgets'. We rank in organic spot #3 or 4 for that (moves around from week to week). Fairly happy with that. We have another derivative term 'blue widgets small' (example, but it's same format: <original phrase="">+ <single word="">) where we currently rank #6 organic in Google when people search on the 3 word phrase.</single></original> We'd like to rank higher than #6 for the 3 word phrase. Should we: (1) Build a bunch of links with anchor text equal to the 3 word phrase and point to the existing page (which is optimized on-page for the first 2 of the 3 words) or (2) Make a new page optimized for the 3 word phrase and then start building links to it with anchor text equal to the 3 words (and non-cannibalizing variants of the 3 words)? The 2 word phrase is pretty competitive and it has taken us months to get that page to be #3 or 4 organic for that phrase. The 3 word phrase is much less competitive and we don't think it would take that long to make a dedicated page rank higher than #6 for the 3 words. Suggestions? Thanks.
