Why are Backlinks not showing up?
-
I've been building backlinks for about 2 months now, but the links are not showing up in seomoz. What is going on?
I've built backlinks across many different domains and using a variety of techniques including:
- directories
- blog posts
- blog commenting
- pr websites
- industry sites that allow blog posting and press release posting
- industry forums
Some of the links I built were from finding links competitors had and then creating a similar link, like blog commenting. In some cases I took blog articles from our site and published them on industry blog sites.
I've searched for many of the pages and I CAN find them, so they ARE being indexed by Google, but they are not showing up as backlinks. I've read some posts that say it can take anywhere from 2 to 5 months or longer before the links show up. I've also read that Google's Webmaster Tools may show the links before seomoz does.
Couple questions:
- Why don't the links show up as backlinks in seomoz?
- Will they show up eventually in seomoz and, if so, when?
- Should the links show up in Google Webmaster tools before they do in seomoz?
- Is there any good reason to believe some of the links will never get recognized, or should I be confident that they will eventually get recognized?

Linkscape, which powers Open Site Explorer, only crawls the top 25% or so of the web right now. Also, the crawl is done once a month, so that's why it can take some time to show up. We're working on getting the crawls faster, but that is why things are slower than Google. We have a few less servers than they do at our disposal to make the crawls.
We did just have an update this morning, you might want to check out the blog post from Rand for more information.

I have found that it takes 6-8 weeks for most links to show...sometimes up to 5 months. I once got a link from a reputable website in my niche in page anchor text do - flow link and it was a 5 month process on SEOMOZ..although SEOmajestic and Linkbuilder showed it as a link.

I want to know about the Impact of Do-follow backlinks and No-follow backlinks for increasing DA.
Have Do-follow backlinks and No-Follow backlinks same value to increase Domain Authority in Moz? Recently, I have created 290 profile backlinks which was do-follow. But from yesterday I have seen all backlinks are no-follow now according to the decision of sites' owners. My site's DA has already increased up to 35. Will this DA fall gradually from now? Apart from it, if I have created same backlinks for my another site; will my DA be 35? Please try to clarify it. My site is: Homeworkpaper.net Thanks. Waiting for your valuable answer.

Could anyone help me with this fake site I found in my backlink profile?
The site is masquerading as 'yurbuds' store, a brand of headphones, but in SERPs, as seen in the image below, the content on the site is actually of one of my other sites. Has anyone seen anything like this before? How would it have happened? My instinct is to disavow. Any other thoughts? Thanks in advance! IvDcE

Is it better to have backlinks from domains with medium DA, UR, using same language and good relevancy, or backlinks from domains with high DA, UR but using another language and with less relevancy?
Dear all, while I understand that quality backlinks with high DA, UR, same-language and relevancy would be best, would backlinks with high DA, UR but less relevancy and using languages other than the one used in my website be something good? Or would they do more harm than anything else and still be outcompeted by backlinks with lower DA, UR but same language and/or more relevancy? Thank you Frank

How to analyze a backlink
My site has around 6k backlinks, which majority seem to be spammy. I understand the whole process to contact the webmaster, try to get them removed, and disavow them if you cannot get them deleted. 1. What are some main signs of spotting domains that generate negative SEO? 2. Time frame to clean up 6k links assuming 50% are bad? Currently we are looking are a service to take care of this for us, but from reading everything online it seems the only reliable way to do it would be manually. Any recommendations on this would be appreciated.
