Link analysis: no-follow from slideshare
-
I noticed when doing link analysis that for some competitors the backlink from slideshare is recorded with a 'no-follow' beside the link. Other sites analyzed don't show a backlink from slideshare despite having this link in their slideshare pages.
Is the no-follow resulting in the backlink getting recorded to improve domain authority but not SEO authority?

I see in my slide page, the link I paste on Description box is same as general text. And I see link I paste on Slide. What is backlinks?

Glad that helped, Abdallah. Do remember, just because a third-party tool hasn't indexed the link doesn't mean that the search engines themselves aren't aware of them and using them for ranking. The search engines have far more budget and technology available for their crawlers than pretty much any third-party tool could.
For an interesting comparison, use the Link Explorer tool built into Bing's Webmaster Tools to compare to what you find in the third party tools. The benefit of this tool over the one in Google Webmaster Tools is that it will allow yo look at link profiles from other site too, not just your own. (Do not though that even Bing doesn't promise to show you every link out there.
That said though, there's nothing wrong with building a few good links to your Slideshare page to help it along as well.
Glad you feel you got your question answered. Would be great if you could mark which answers you found helpful as "good answers" to help others who might also come across this question.

I think the 'no-follow' comment was confusing in my question. I was trying to figure out why some sites were getting linked back from slideshare pages while others didn't despite having the link on their website. I think the answer is that those page getting linked back are getting crawled more often by google. So I will need to work on this! Thanks again for taking the time to answer

Thanks for replying. It makes complete sense. I had originally assumed that a page on slideshare would be consistently crawled but obviously it needs to still have fresh content and good links going back to it. Both of these items I will be working on!

What you're most likely seeing here, Influitive, is just the fact that the SEOMoz crawler (or whatever other tool you're using) hasn't crawled (and will never be able to) absolutely every page on the web. It may just be that the tool's crawler simply hasn't gotten to the other SlideShare pages yet to index those other competitors' links.
Make sense?

To be honest with you, your question is not really clear but if you are asking about no-follow links… link analysis tool will show you the link with a no follow tag. This tag indicates Google that the link is not going to pass any juice value. In this way you can say that link will direct people from that website to your website but in terms of SEO there will be no credit of that link which help you in improving your SERP and all…

What is Followed Linking Root Domains ?
Is it to just have different URLs pointing to my site? I understand that if 1 site posts 5 of my URLs, it only counts as 1. I am just not understanding how I increase this number if link building is now frowned up. Thoughts?

Do links from the second page of an article pass link juice?
I have been writing for some sites with a high overall page rank and the articles are being viewed as quality by search engines as well. However, they usually put a link to my site at the very end of the article and then break the article down into two pages to increase ad revenue. It seems that I'm not getting much credit for that link even if the page has a high SEOmoz/PR score. I want to know if I am getting the benefit from these links. If not, how do I make sure I get the most bang, even if my link is on a second page of the article? Here is an example of what I mean: http://www.forbes.com/sites/theyec/2012/08/22/kanban-for-customers-how-to-increase-transparency-in-your-business/

Obtaining Links from Forums?
How good is a link from a forum? Do you guys know of any forums in the shopping, jewelry, wedding, or fashion industry that accepts links within their signature or within the post? I know some forums are very strict about this and others allow you to add your link as an incentive to post on their forums. Generally, how effective is this in your opinion and any good recommendations of quality forums?
