Error on Incoming Links report
-
On a client site https://compassionateleaders.co.uk/ Incoming links is reporting a domain link from Huffingtonpost.co.uk amongst 30 others.
However when I review Inbound Links it is showing Zero results.
How is this possible? Is there an issue in the system?

@Marketing_Optimist The discrepancy between reported incoming links and zero results in inbound links can be due to:
Data Indexing Delay: There might be a delay in updating.
Link Removal or No-follow: The link might have been removed or marked as no-follow.
Data Synchronization Issues: Parts of the tool may not be fully synchronized.
Filtering and Display Settings: Filters might be hiding the links.
Canonical Issues: The link might point to a different version of the URL.
Tool-Specific Limitations: The tool might have its own criteria or bugs. -

How is this possible? Is there an issue in the system?Discrepancies between reported incoming links and actual inbound links could occur due to various reasons. It's possible that the data reported in the Incoming Links section hasn't been updated recently. Different tools and systems have varying refresh rates for data updates. Some links reported in the Incoming Links section might be from low-quality or spammy websites, which might not be considered valid inbound links by the system. Additionally, the tool might not have crawled or indexed all the inbound links yet, as it can take time for search engines and link analysis tools to discover and index new links pointing to a website. There could also be discrepancies or inaccuracies in the data reported by the tool, as automated systems sometimes misinterpret or incorrectly attribute incoming links. If you suspect there's an issue with the system or the data being reported, it's a good idea to reach out to the support team of the tool or service provider for further investigation.

Link building too quickly
Hi all, I have recently started trialing to outsource some SEO to a 3rd party, who obviously promissed white hat techniques and manual links etc.. All has gone well for the first month. But on speeking to another expert they point out that the search engines will spot inconcistencies in link building and penalise me. I know there will not be a know ammount but as we stand at the moment, what is the current feeling of too fast. Links built for me in one month were 100 directory submissions 80 bookmarks 16 search engine submissions 15 Article submissions 46 forum links 10 local classified searches Is this too fast? , If to do I stop and create more inconsistency or continue at a similar rate. Of course quality of link will be an issue, but how much. Many thanks from SEO jnr

A link with "return false"- OSE sees as a No Followed Link
Hello, I couldn't find a clear answer to the impact on SEO for a link written in this way: [" class="expert_info" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">](w</span>ww.yourwebsite.com<span style=) [Does the "return false" act as a "no follow"? I came across this in our link data in Open Site Explorer which lists these links all as "no follows." However, an engineer I spoke to said that it shouldn't impact search engine behavior. Any ideas? Thank you in advance! -Sarah K.](w</span>ww.yourwebsite.com<span style=)

Changing links
Hi guys i wanted you views on changing the anchor text of links. I have quality links coming in but with year terms such as 2012 in there, if i want to change them all to 2013 for example would it be badly seen by Google? I cant say i feel comfortable about doing it but they are my links and are related to our products. Any advice much appreciated.

Links on the same keyword
When is linking from one particular keyword to much. At what point could link building from one keyword be considered spam and potentially delist a site ? Is it possible for a site to be delisted for having to many links from the same keyword ? Heard linking from the website name is more important following recent changes. I try and link from a selection of 3 to 4 keywords. Thanks for your help
