OSE shows links on sites but can't find links
-
Hi mozzers,
I'm cleaning up our backlink profile and looking up anchortexts in OSE. I downloaded and selected one anchortext. However when I go to the sites OSE found, I can't find the links. I look in the source code and onpage keywords.
Is it because of my lack of skills that I can't find the links or isn't OSE working properly.

I thought I was correct Thank you and sfseo for letting us know!

We update the OSE data about once a month, and the crawls can take a couple to few weeks to process. So, the links were likely there when the site was crawled and have since been removed and those links just haven't been recrawled.

You are not wrong!

OSE doesn't operate in real time unless I am very much mistaken. I believe it crawls and updates every week... or maybe month... so you could have had those links when they last crawled but have since lost them. Or... I am wrong.. and if I am wrong I have no doubt that I will be corrected

Multiple Links from High Ranking Site Vs. Links from Multiple Domains - What's More Important?
I understand it is important to get links from many quality domains. Currently, I do have links from top domains (PR, Trust) and it I can get more from (high rank) pages on these same domains. Would it be better to focus on expanding my reach (find additional domains to link from) or to continue to build links from the current domains I have a connection with? What is weighted more? I realize doing both is important, but trying to figure out how to best use my time. Thanks! David

Should I work on links to a specific page or site in general?
Hi Guys, I'm trying to have my page rank better for "sell my car Houston". I'm about to start working on getting links to our site and my question is should I work on getting links to that specific page or would it be OK to just get links to the home page (same seo effect)? Specific page: http://www.motorsonwheels.com/pages/sell-my-car-in-houston-tx Home page: http://www.motorsonwheels.com Thanks! -Nash

Where can I find a list of the top DA websites on the web?
I'd like to find a ranking of the top DA websites on the web. I'm mostly interested in US websites. I'd like at least the top 10,000 or so but the more the better. Is there a way to get this data from OpenSiteExplorer or another source? The closest I've found is Double Click's listing of the top 1000 most_visited_ (not DA) websites: http://www.google.com/adplanner/static/top1000/ Thanks!

Safe to link to another site you own?
Hi mozzers, I have some external links on a resource page on my established site. I have a new site in the same niche with content that if linked to, would improve the resource page. If I linked to it using branded anchor text, would it be safe? My thoughts are yes...as long as it adds value and isnt keyword anchored. The sites are on different C class IPs Would welcome some thoughts Peter

For a new site, does it matter which sites I get back links from first? I.e., are the first back links more important than later ones?
I've heard that when a site is new, the sources from which it gets its first back links are very important -- that the early links are more important for ranking than later links. Is this true. If so, what would be some good places to get these very first links? Thanks.

OpenSite Explorer-How Long For Links to Show Up?
I have acquired a very good number of high PR rank backlinks from quality websites to my site over the last several months. However, when I check my LInkscape Analysis they do not show up and my number of incoming links seems to remain the same. How long does it take for these to show up with the SEOMoz tools? Thanks
