How long for SEOMoz to reflect new inbound links?
-
I have carried out some minor link building for my new site (site A) and have some links back from several directories and 1 from ezine and one from squidoo as well as a few partner sites and such.
I also have another site (site B) which was linking to site A several times from a footer link, this has now been amended to just one link.
The problem is that SEOmoz still only shows 3 linking domains to site A (there are at least 12 if you perform a manual search) and it is still showing many links from site B even though there is now only one.
All these changes where made at least 3 weeks ago, how long before Seomoz picks them up.

It can actually take up to sixty days (two crawls) for the links to show up, if you happened to have built links right as one of the crawls was finishing. Unlike Google, Linkscape (in the past) crawls about once a month -- spends a couple of weeks crawling then a couple of weeks processing. Your links should have shown up by now for sure, let us know if they haven't for some reason.

The last update of OpenSiteExplorer was on June 6th, which is likely why you haven't seen the changes. The next update of OSE will be later this month, and those links should be picked up with the fresh crawl.

Over 4 weeks later and SEOmoz still not showing any new backlinks to my site, I have tested other software and they all show varying amounts of links but SEOmoz is way off and has not updated any in over 5 weeks. I have at least 200.
-
Just checked WMT and all the links that I would expect to see are listed there, so why is SEOmoz not picking this up? This delay is not good, I use SEOmoz for the purpose of reporting and if the reports are inaccurate then what is the point of subscribing?
I could understand a one or two day delay but after over 3 weeks the data is still not giving me a true picture.

Does social media presence + inbound links outweigh bad SEO?
Some of our competitors have SEO errors in the thousands, yet rank much higher than us for keywords that we're targeting. The SEO errors are duplicate content, titles, and 404 errors. We've successfully nailed down much of our SEO issues to a bare minimum, although not eliminated them completely, so we're at a loss as to why we aren't gaining much ground. From what we can tell, the difference between us and them is they have a large amount of inbound links to their site plus popular social media presence. Can it be inferred from this that an active social media presence and large inbound link count outweigh bad SEO practices? What else should we be looking for to help pinpoint why we're not gaining rank with the keywords we're targeting?

Links from same server or not?
Hello, I make websites so every website I make has a backlink to my website. Currently all my websites are hosted on server A, but my OWN website is hosted on server B. I plan to move my website to server A too. This will indicate that all the backlinks I have currently are from a difference server, now all these links will come from the SAME server. Will this have any results on my positions? Is this something that you have to take into account? Jeroen

Lost inbound link from Huffington Post???
My website was featured on HuffPost's "7 Sites You Should Be Wasting Your Time On" in September of 2011 and somewhere along the way it no longer gets recognized as a linking domain? The site/page itself ('7 Sites' from Sept 2011) still exists through direct linking, and my site's link is still on there. I am looking at it right now (still knew the URL because I put it as a link in the 'About' section of my site). Any theories as to how/why this happened and if it is due to something on my end? Any way to get it back?

9306 inbound links but onle 143 root domains?
I need help with my link building efforts so I have started to search around for companies and/or freelance contractors to hire. I always ask for examples of sites they are working on. In many cases the number of inbound links are high (9306) compared to the number of root domains that are linked to (143). Or as in this sample (120792) inbound links compared to (157) linking domains http://www.shortsalesafe.com. How can this be? To me the only logical answer is "link farms" or some other form of black hat magic. Am I right in my assumption, or is there another logical answer for so many links with so few linking domains.? Thanks Gary

Will No Follow Links count toward your root domain links for Domain Authority?
I am wondering if no follow links help, hurt, or do nothing when it comes to increasing page and domain authority? I know they are not supposed to pass rank and I have read discussions that some people suspect they still might, but I am wondering if I have a mix of follow plus no follow, will the no follow ones increase the count of the root domains linking to me and help boost my authority? Assuming of course the no follow links are coming from quality sites with high page and domain authority of their own. Thanks.
