Link Analysis shows no external sites linking to me?
-
Hi All, I hope you can help. Link Analysis shows no external sites linking to me? but I know for a fact there are. Why is this? I have submitted my site to a few local directories and can see my site is on their site but when I run a Link Analysis it shows that I have no links. Does anyone know why this is? Many thanks, Aidan My site is http://www.theethicalsilkco.com/

It can take a couple of months for links to show up. Our server farm isn't as big as Google or Bing, so we don't crawl as fast or deep as they do. They'll know about links before we do. It probably just needs a little more time is all. If links still don't show up, it could be because they're on pages we haven't crawled yet because they are lower quality, or just buried on a site. For example, we don't show all of the links from Twitter -- we just don't have the power to crawl all of Twitter and still crawl anything else!

Seomoz takes longer to calculate the links and they do not have every URL indexed. If you look in your Google webmaster tools, SEOmoz's Open Site Explorer and Majestics backlink checker (http://www.majesticseo.com/) you should get most of the indexed backlink data you need. Keep in mind that you might place a link on a page today that may not get indexed for 6 weeks.
Also, have you submitted a sitemap to Google?
-
Boom! There they are. 29 results.
So, from this can you tell me none of these are showing up in my Link Analysis report or when Google stated that it had not indexed my site in over 90 days even though i used Google Fetch only 2 weeks ago and it came back successful?
I bet you reject answering my initial question
Thanks for all the help thus far

Hey AIden, my mistake... Inurl only shows parameters within URLs
Try this instead inlink:www.theethicalsilkco.com this command shows your indexed links.
-
Sorry Donnie, But you are going to have to hold my hand through this What should I be seeing when I use this operator? I see 4 results. I see that Google has not visited it in the last 90 days. I should request this in WT no? I used- link:www.theethicalsilkco.com and got no results. I presume that this means that no-one is linking to me. Although I can see 2 sites that link to me: http://www.rte.ie/radio1/todaywithpatkenny/2010-12-16.html www.independent.ie/lifestyle/christmas/five-christmas-presents-that-keep-on-giving-2444715.html Thanks, Aidan

I took out the "http://"... here type " inurl:www.theethicalsilkco.com/ "

Hi Donnie,
My URL is a few years old but I re-did the site approx 5 months ago. When I do the same search I get 2 pages of results. That's with me signed out of Google.
But all these results are my pages.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks again. Very much appreciated

SEOmoz can take some time to index a new site... How old is your site? It must be fairly new because I also tried finding your links in google (by typing inurl:http://www.theethicalsilkco.com/ into the search) and only two results came up...

Hello, I need assistance, recently I noticed a huge traffic drop from my blog, lost all the rankings in SERP. I got to know that it's Google OCT Spam Update mainly it's about spamming and black hat techniques. But I haven't done any spammy practices or Black HAT SEO. I pay good amount of $ a month to freelancing content writers and don't make any spam backlinks. My site is : tcmguide.com Checked my site in search console and noticed that I had out of no where got 13000+ links from different dirty sites, as I have never tried to building those links in my life. 13 382 links.jpg I tried to export and Disavow this but via Export I got access to 1000 only and can't find these links in MOZ. Moz is showing other links, can any one help me out to recover my traffic and If my site is hit with Spam Update, how can I recover from it. Please help me felling pretty demotivated and stressed

I have links coming from spammy sites that DO NOT exist anymore... Disavow or not?
Hi There !!! I´m cleaning the link profile of one of our sites and making the typical analysis I have found the following scenario: All SEO tools that helped me to gather the data (WMT, opensite, majestic) are showing me that I have links coming from spammy sites that actually are not online any more. In other words, the spammy site where the link is coming is not alive (when I try to check the page itself I´m having a 404 or domain expired). My main question is… Should I disavow these domains links? or should I simply ignore them? We got an unnatural penalty and we are doing the whole proccess (checking sites, contacting, etc….). Many Thanks for your help

Spam Links sent to my site.
Hello, I'll try to be concise as I can. I run a coupon codes site.
Link Building | | affigroup
Today when I loggein in webmaster tools I noticed many new links to my website. And all to a single page. (mydomain.com/stores/companyname).
I tend to think that spam was made by the person who owns that company because he/she used achors related to his bussiness rather than the company name + coupon or company name + discounts. Besides the fact that these links have no value and created automatically by software there are also links from pornographic websites. (bet he paid someone on fiverr for link building and made my website tier 1) I was thinking of 2 options:
1. I remove that page from my website. (mydomain.com/stores/hiscompany) and use disallow. Not sure I can find all the links poiting to that page.
2. Redirect that page mydomain.com/stores/company to hiscompany.com so he can enjoy his spam. I would appreciate if someone can answer me.1 -
How to Earn Links to Boring Pages on Your Site
We do great in earning links to our homepage, articles, linkbait, and resource pages but we get few links to our product pages which are honestly pretty boring. Do you have any advice for increasing links to these important "money" pages? (we are trying to add useful content to make them less boring and unremarkable)

Link to those that link to you? Worthwhile?
We have thousands and thousands of sites that link to a domain we are working on, many with low page authority and high domain (bloggers, forum posts, etc). Has anyone experimented with linking to the pages that link to you (not from your site) but from other means in an effort to boost their quality? I'm not sure what method we would use, maybe some relevant blog comments or social votes. But curious if this could be an effective method.
