Backlinks not showing up in the campaign crawl
-
I have been adding backlinks, about 110 since the last crawl, but only 14 new linking domains showed in my campaign profile. Can someone explain?
Is it that the linking domains were not crawled and thus not seen.
Is it that the crawl posting is from data that was crawled a long time ago (4-6 weeks ago) and it took a while for it to show up
is it that the domains i got links on were, possibly, not so hot and just get filtered out?

Thank you Richard. I have been reviewing some of my questions to post updates on what happened since. It seems that some of the backlinks took 4 or 5 months to show up on the report. So perhaps the lower quality links can take longer if they are on small sites who do not get much indexing action.

Rand recently spoke of this and yes, some of this is due to those links not being indexed. Some may be deep links, or simply outside SEOmoz crawl at the moment. SEOmoz is working to increase its indexing power for speed of refreshes and depth of crawls.

There is another post speaking to this, however, SEOmoz does not yet have the ability to Favorite post
I hope that answers your question.

Thanks Dejan, they are not showing up in the SEOmoz Open Site Explorer Crawl (2/21/2011 version). Some are new profiles at places I saw my competitors had, but maybe I need to get something done to get the profiles crawled. Good point. I had left that off the list of to-do items. Very helpful thanks. Some are just regular old links but the new links did not show up. Maybe 5 of the 100+ were profiles. hmmm. Thanks for your help.

Hi Ken,
When you say campaign profile do you refer to SEO Moz or Google Webmaster Tools or backlink profile in general?
Note that 3rd party providers use mostly their own crawlers and you therefore depend on the freshness of their data. If you're talking about Google, link: command only gives a sample, whereas Google Webmaster Tools does provide more detailed backlink information - however in my experience still lagging by 1-8 weeks in some cases.
Time will surely reveal your backlinks if they are accessible to search engines. If they are hidden (eg blank forum profiles) and nothing manages to get to them then to index they will not show up at all.

Backlinks not indexed on MOZ
Why our backlinks do not show up? Even GSC shows a good amount of our backlinks and other applications show too. But in the case of MOZ, it still shows 0 backlinks and 0 organic visibility. Don't you guys think this puts a user of your software way behind in terms of competition and real data? If my backlinks will be considered by MOZ, when will it be❓

Backlinking question
Hello everyone! I currently work for a software company that sell's CRM software for product sellers and one of our options along with this service is a website builder option that can provide the client with a website with several different templates to choose from. Currently, we have over 500 clients using these website templates and I noticed that they are all under the same IP address. My question is, in terms of a backlinking effort, would it be beneficial if we included a link to our company's website on the footer on each of these templates? Example could be: Powered by: (company's name) and have the name a link to our site. I'm worried that this could be seen negatively by Google if we dofollowed these links or the fact that they are all under the same IP. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks

How new website / blogs can earn backlinks?
Hi, As link wheels, link pyramids and paid links are penalized by google and the only chance to get back links is to earn them. My Question is that with a new website / blog, how a newbie with no relationships with established bloggers, can earn links? Because writing quality contents and detailed posts (e.g. more than 3000 words posts twice a month) still would benefits for those blogs having already traffic to share these contents and in case of new blog, due to very low traffic, it would take months or years to enter in the game. Please propose step by step strategy / plan / footprint for newly born website and marketers. Thanks

Redirecting broken backlink to my site
Hello guys, I found an expired domain with inbound links from 41 different root domains, almost all of them from relevant sources. I have 2 ideas in my mind: A) I am thinking about buying this expired domain and place a 301 redirect to a post in my blog who talks about a similar subject.Relevance: let's say the content of the expired domain is about "horses wallpapers" and the content of my site is about "horse transport". Not the same, but a post in my blog could talk about "top 10 horse wallpapers". Do you see what I mean? B) Contact all the webmasters with broken links, alert them and expect they are nice and place a nice link to the post in my blog talking about "top 10 horse wallpapers". What do you think? Should I take A or B? Any other idea? I added a picture with the Domain Rank of the broken links 🙂 Thanks a lot !!! Luis V1LZBC3

Could someone be sabataging my site by bad backlinks?
Hello, As I have said before I am new to SEO and especially new to this type of software. I am trialing MOZ, ahrefs and MajesticSEO. I just used the Site Explorer on ahrefs and it showed me that a bunch of backlinks was created today but I haven't engaged anyone in "SEO" for many months. Why would this be? See the image for a screenshot. yhpUxFv.png
