OK found one problem

on this page

http://www.odin-groep.nl/Home/ctl/OverOdin/ReindersICT.aspx

you have a link to

http://www.odin-groep.nl/Home/ctl/OverOdin/OverOdin/LesscherIT.aspx

which i think should be

http://www.odin-groep.nl/Home/ctl/OverOdin/LesscherIT.aspx

to add to what Dean said, think about how that title looks in the SURPs,  what would improve its click rate?

"However i have double checked that where is no external link to the webmail pages from any other source"

the link might be so obscure that seomoz has not picked it up and google bot has.  Note in WMT there is "latest back links" but there is a few weeks delay on them, so the link might be recent.

I'm 99% sure there has to be a link from somewhere, or there is no way google can find that page.

I have added the No-index as well in  my robot.txt file on my site but yet no change.

It will not take effect until the next time google crawls your site, I think it took a week or so before my test site was removed (i did no robot.txt file too)

I would think that you would still get benefit from the link on a domain level, but not as good as link to a proper page (as you pointed out).

You could 301 redirect the links to a landing page for the pdf file, but should you? I don't know.

Still it weird that a government site is hotlinking files on your site, I would have thought that would be bad practice from their side.  Still its good news for you.

Hi Evan

It can take 5-8 weeks for a link to show in OSE, its just depends when in the OSE crawl cycle you got the link. The last update was on the 21st april but that is based on data gathered from the 4+ weeks before that date so if that link appeared in the middle of that craw it could have been missed.  Also there is a chance it just missed that page during the last crawl.

The next update is on the 19th of May, so hopefully your link will show then.

Btw if the link is showing under "Just-Discovered Links" is OSE then you know it will be picked up.  (

thanks for bring it to my attention

So you think these would hide these links from goggle's bot, but will be usable for the end user?

I know the "no follow" link sculpting does not work, and I'm sure google would be switched on to tricks to hide links to sculpt.  If the trick does work, its the type of thing google does not want you to do, so I wouldn't do it incase I get punished by google down the line.  (maybe I missunderstand what your trying to do).

I'm not familiar with that type of link, so I don't know if it would work on a technical level.

"p/s: I have just add robots.txt to sandbox and disallow all pages."

That will do it, just have to wait till google picks up on those instructions (might take a while)

You would/ should use 301 to fix a 404 error, and direct to the correct content.  404 pages are for when their is no correct content (mistyped url), but ultimately you never want a link to a 404 on your site

its call 404 ERROR for a reason
