Google Link-building Update....
-
Hey, Guys
How long does it take for Google to recognize your link-building efforts with authority websites and affect the SERPS?
-
As pointed out it depends, on a variety of factors. It can take hrs or either months for Google to crawl something. One thing that we always suggest is that you can use social signals, in particular Google+, on the page that has the link to get it crawled faster.
For example if you are a gun company, and you want the link that you got on NY Times to be crawled faster tweet out the NY Times article.
In the end you want that page that has your linked to get crawled faster. Here are a few tips that we wrote about a few months ago, that might help you: http://www.theedesign.com/blog/2013/raleigh-internet-marketers-index-your-website-for-you

Chad is absolutely correct.
-
It's an ongoing process and depends partially on the authority of the sites you are getting links from.
Google has to recrawl the page that the link was placed on, then bake that into their algo for ranking, so if the links are on pages that Google crawls often, it will get counted sooner.
-
The strength of the link does depend on the page that it is on. So, if the home page did have more authority, then it would have a larger impact.
-
Ahhh,
So this might be kind of a dumb question but does the page that your link shows up on affect the strength of the Referral. For example ( We just got a "do follow" link on a National Association website with major link juice. Our link is not on the homepage but it is on a sub-domain. If it were on the homepage would it have made a bigger affect ?)
-
It can be as little as a few hours to as much as a couple months. It depends on the popularity of the specific page which contains the link, along with the number and quality of links pointed to that page.

I am looking for a software to keep track of the back links or link building
Hi Guys, I am very new hear. I just joined. I have a few websites that I need to manage. I am looking for a software that will allow me to manually add the links that I have been able to acquire. It would also be a bonus if it could search for the links to my site and to see if its still active. Because I have a freelancer working a few hours a week on link building and I need to keep track of the links. I am looking for something simple and good. Any suggestions? By the way, I used Raven Tools many years ago, and it had this feature. But since joining Moz, I don't want to be paying for 2 subscriptions. And I don't know if Raven still has this feature. Your suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you. Ryan

Link Building for extremely niche industry
I understand that when getting links into your site, they need to be good authority but, importantly, also relevant to the information on your own website. I've seen examples for people to find guest posting opportunities on many sites, but these have been for popular industries with mass amounts of people discussing it (travel blogs, fashion blogs), making guest post opportunities more readily available. The company I work for provide doc storage, scanning and paperless solutions. As you can guess, when following these guides to find blogs on our industry, I have come up short with places to ask to guest post on! So, how would SEOmozzers approach building quality, relevant links for a very niche industry such as ours? Also, we'll be building pages for extremely specific types of files (e.g. Microfiche Scanning, A0 Scanning....). For these pages, how will I be able to find relevant pages on these topics to get a link to, because these will obviously be even more niche than doc scanning? Thank you!

Link Building Training Courses (UK)
Hi, Does anybody know of any good UK Link Building training courses or trainers? I have read loads of information on here and other sites which tells you that you need to get good high quality links but have not found much information on exactly how you go about doing this (apart from looking at competitors links - which is easy). So I would love to get some training for me and another team member here on Link Building specifically.We have all the other areas of SEO pretty much covered and get pretty good rankings for long tail and some broad phrases. We just need a bit of extra Link Building help to boost some rankings up even further. Thanks in advance Andy
