I found a link to my customer's site with an over-optimized
-
I found a link to my customer's site with an over-optimized anchor text using the OpenSite Explorer tool, but when I opened the link, my customer's link is nowhere to be found.
Here is the link Opensiteexplorer gave me:
http://www.derbymadness.com/my-profile/demolition-derby-groups/viewgroup/12-web
And here is my customer's link: 1896omalleyhouse.com
The link is not on the cached version of the page either.
Can anyone tell me how this might happen?
Thanks!

Thanks! I did see it disappear after I posted the question. It's good to know that Roger crawls about 30 days or so.

It's actually gone now, as Keri below has indicated.

I did a search for "french quarter" on that domain, and found a cached link at http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:JBWoP_J3zQcJ:www.derbymadness.com/my-profile/demolition-derby-groups/viewbulletins%3Fgroupid%3D12+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us. Looks like the page has since been edited/removed and is nothing to worry about now.
How it happened was that the link was there when Roger crawled, but he only crawls once a month or so, and the link was removed since the last crawl.

What's the anchor text of the over-optimized link used?

On-Page E-commerce Site Optimization
Hello everyone! Just started on a new job as in house SEO and PPC but it is also my first job as such, got little experience and for what I know the site needs a lot of work in terms of optimization. I would like to ask some help and some opinions about what I think should be done in order to rank higher because at the moment the highest ranking page doesn't go higher than the third page for general but high traffic volume keywords. All the titles tag are too long, some of them are up to 100 characters The meta tag isn't optimized properly to attract people and get clicks the content on the product pages is laid out badly and there aren't many keywords a lot of duplicate content there are little inbound links there isn't a section for content such as a news page, a blog or anything like that which makes link building even harder Here my challenges: Create well optimized product, category , subcategory pages to improve also the PPC landing pages Improve the rankings at least to get on the first page for general keywords Choose the right keywords to optimize the site for increase the number of inbound links. I also have to manage adwords and given my little experience I can't seem to prioritize things so any suggestions would be really appreciated. Also if you don't mind to take a look at the site and leave me comments on things that I should improve, I'd be grateful . The main problem also is the niche I work in is not the best, I know nothing about it which makes things worse. repsole.com Thank you for reading Oscar

Should you avoid links from infographic sites?
Suppose you have an interesting infographic that you are promoting. Should you be cautious about having it published on sites that only publish infographics? Do you think these sites pass any link value?

Keyword links are not showing up in majesticseo or open site explorer
I've been doing link building by writing good content and getting other blogs to post my articles with keyword links embedded. One example is: Original article: http://www.cleanedison.com/blog/setting-the-stage-for-greenbuild-2012-1997 Re-published article: http://www.renewableenergyfocus.com/blog/2012/11/7/guest-blog-setting-the-stage-for-greenbuild-2012/683.aspx (Keyword is LEED Certification - it goes to http://www.cleanedison.com/leed) I have 2 questions: Why isn't this backlink being found by majesticseo or open site explorer? Why isn't my original article showing up a google search at all? P.S. Overall, despite my best efforts, my keyword rankings have been falling recently, is there anything obvious that I'm doing wrong?

SEOs and web developers frequently leave links to their site in the footer of their clients' sites. Does this negatively impact the site with the links?
Does this provide any SEO value to the receiving site? Has anyone experienced problems doing this?
