Negative SEO
-
It looks like either opensiteexplorer is broken or two of our domains are being spammed via negative seo with very low quality links:
http://winter.bergleben.at is a project pretty new in development. Last time I checked we had 39 linking root domains.Now - couple of weeks later - we have more than 800 linking root domains. Most of them very dubious ones. Problem is:
- the link anchors look correct of what we or a user would typically link to
- most of the URLs identified by OSE I cannot even find a link back to us on there
If it weren`t for the correct link anchors I would consider something wrong with OSE.
Another URL affected is www.skiinfo.deWe are very proud of our quality and organic approach to editorial journalism, but we are in a very competitive field, so I would not be surprised if someone would apply negative SEO against us. Can someone briefly look into it and tell me if they came up with the same issue?

I thought that there was more of a delay in OSE than in webmaster tools on average, but I could be wrong. I'm sure it depends on when the next Linkscape update is for OSE.
-
yes, in Webmaster tools I cannot find these links. however my experience is that there is often a time delay in the webmaster tools?
-
Have you looked in Webmaster Tools for some more forensic linking info specific to your site? This can be more accurate than OSE.

Is there a way to leverage paid advertisements placed in industry specific publications to get SEO benefits?

Many of these publications are traditional print publications, and their sites are really seo'd. Thanks.
