How can I find all my "nofollow" back links?
-
I have reason to believe we're being penalized for having to many links with keyword anchor text, and these links are typically no follow. I wouldn't normally think a nofollow link could do this but I've exhausted all other options. Any idea how I can find these links?
-
Yah we've been starting to focus more on that, also upped our Facebook campaign for "likes". We were historically hovering right around 5 than boom down to 15ish. So you're probably right it was Penguin, thanks for the tips.
-
I'm not sure what would cause that drop if it wasn't penguin..
However, it looks like you're not competing on the first page for a few reasons
-
WIth the exception of 3 domains, all domains have a domain authority of 60+ (yours is 41)
-
All page 1 domains have 1K+ Linking Root domains (you have ~100)
My recommendation:
I would recommend that you focus on gaining high authority links to your driveway alarm page as well as the homepage, coming from separate root domains. You could do a guest posting campaign and focus on domains with a DA of 50+ over the next 3 months and try to get ~50 links and see how it affects your rankings.
Your anchor texts do not necessarily need to be overly optimized, just ensure that your on-page is as good as it can be (there could be some improvements there possibly) and aim for increasing authority, then the rankings will come.
Hope that helps some. Let me know if you have any questions.

I'm not positive, it was about that time. But it was only a 10 place drop, and from other Penguin stories it seems like Penguin would have been a more serious drop if that had been the case.
-
When you say "the key phrase we're being nailed on is "driveway alarm" " do you mean you were recently affected by the Penguin update?
-
Thanks, any suggestions how to go about fixing this?
-
Yeah it looks like there are a couple of issues going on.
-
Looks like you are over optimized for exact anchor text links to that page for "driveway alarm"
-
You also have a high number of total links, but a low number of separate linking root domains (according to OSE)
-
Some of the links have low value/authority
I've attached the OSE report with all of the noFollow links to your site. Looks like there are many to the other pages, but not to that specific page.

On Open Site Explorer
it specifically states NO FOLLOW before the title of the URL
it reads (nofollow) Twitter as an example
-
http://www.absoluteautomation.com/driveway-alarm.html - and in case you can't the key phrase we're being nailed on is "driveway alarm"
-
What's the URL, I'll try to pull a report
-
I thought I had from Open Site Explorer but I didn't see the NoFollow links in there?
-
Have you pulled a full report from Open Site Explorer or Majestic?

My site is linked from over 900 "The Globe"-domains - disavow or not?
Hi! As some of you may be familiar with, there is a giant spam-network with the same design and same page title on all domains: "The Globe - The world's most visited web pages". For example: theglobe.at

www.internet-search.us I've now discovered that over 900 of these spam-domains link to my site. My plan was of course to disavow them all, but Google is explicit on telling me to be careful. «Only disavow if you are certain that the links are damaging to your rankings». And to be honest, I'm not sure. Also: it seems drastic to disavow almost a thousand pages. I'm afraid to mess something up. What would you do?3 -

Best way to check/find lost links?
Hi all As everyone, we have seen a decrease of domain authority and external links during the last months. with open site Rand is explaining the reason in this in this post, but I still would like to have a look to the links that in theory I have lost during the last months. I thought Majestic was the best option but I have been trying to get the info and I see nothing clear. When I download the fresh or history links, I only see links that are live (in theory, because in history I get a lot not existing but I can not see it without a manual check). The option of lost links is just giving me 1000 links per day, but after downloading some and checking I see that this lost link report is showing me links that are working (but it looks that majestic couldn't access when they did the crawling and show them as lost). Also the numbers of lost links are totally different if you use fresh or historic... Anyone could recommend me a good way to find out links that I really lost? Thanks

Back Links
Hi there, I have been guest posting on blogs trying to build some back-links into my website, which so far is going not too bad, however I was wondering when writing these guest posts should I limit my post to let's say 2 back-links per guest post? If 2 back-links are going to different pages on my website, does the first back-links in the guest post have more value than the 2nd back-link? Kind Regards,
