About link again

I checked all links to my site (not too many at all)
http://oasisoftheseasallureoftheseas.com/
and discovered that very important link – from my supplier,
Royal Caribbean International is not listed at all.Some links with ‘nofollow’ tags show up but not this one.
RCI source here
Any ideas?

Thank you Joel!

Hi there,
The links that are on pages that don't require any java and aren't generated dynamically are easier to crawl and will reflect on your site.
If you haven't already, I recommend to read through the Open Site Explorer FAQ: http://www.seomoz.org/help/open-site-explorer-faq
Thanks,
Joel.

Joel, please clarify if all links from static pages produce links to my web site. How to identify if profile page generate a real libk to my web site?

Hi there,
I checked it out and I don't see your site linked to from the RCI page. It's possible that if they do link to you, it's something generated from a search string, which is often not indexed by us so the link may not have been found.
Our Crawler (Roger) is real good about finding the deep pages as long as there is a thread to them. If there are no links or it needs some sort of Java, it probably won't be found, sadly.
You may want to see if you can arrange to have them put a link on a static page.
I hope that helps.
Thanks,
Joel

Open Site Explorer crawls a lot of the web but some pages do get missed - normally because they're very minor in the grand scheme of things.
Unfortunately this also happens at Google at it looks like the page that links to you isn't in Google's index. Were I you I would try and build some links to that supplier's page so that Google can index your link.
Hope that helps.

Spam Links
Hi everyone, I've just joined the Moz community and after completing our first site crawl I've discovered that we have approximately 200 links with a spam score of over 50%. Should I just disavow all these links or is their a formula to deciding which links to disavow? Thanks in Advance Steve

Finding links online that already exist as link juice based on search results
I'm curious about this, I can't find anything on the net that talks about it. I wrote an article about it on squidoo and have had no responses so I am thinking this is very rare subject. The question is I have done some backlink research with my competitors with linkdetective.com and found many links (even follow ones) related to sites that provide search results. Here are a link about what I am talking about as an example, I have found many more besides this one. http://search.lphant.com/es/webResults.html?q=free%20scrabble%20dictionary&hl=en&page=1&src=hmp_es&ref=1 My site appears in those results. When looking at the source there is no "nofollow". I found this page because linkdetective.com had this link listed pointing to my competitor. Are these valid backlinks? What I have been doing is adding these links to http://www.google.com/addurl so that Google knows about them. Is there something I am missing or are these valid?

Do image links with no alt tags pass link value?
"... an image link with no alt tag is useless to search engines..." according to a Nov 2007 seomoz blog post. Is this still the case in 2011? I ask because I'm about to obtain a banner link on a high-traffic site (chiefly for the clickthrough value) but I notice the site uses neither "title" nor "alt" tags.

Different Link Titles Linking to the same page
So I'm doing a lot of link building but my question is how do search engines treat different link titles to the same page. For example, my main page is www.musillawfirm.com If I have 20 links from 20 sites linking to it as Melbourne FL DUI Lawyer and 20 more linking as Melbourne FL immigration Lawyer and More linking as Cocoa FL DUI lawyer etc... what happens? Do the search engines just rank me higher for all the terms or would it be better to always just link to separate landing pages? Thanks in advance

Link Directory
I am not an SEO expert by any means, just trying to improve the ranking of my own personal real estate site. Are directory links good for backlinks, or are they a waster of time?

The Value Of A Link
Hi There, Let's say I am able to get a link from a very well trust worthy blog that writes abot things related to my business. Now my question is how much value does another link with the same anchor text, from the same blog has compared to the first link, or compared to a new link from a slightly less powerfull blog? Or in another words, if I got 1 link from this great website should I invest my time to find another website where I can get a link from or should I invest it in getting another link from the website I already got a link from ( which might be easier)?
