Google Webmaster Tools Reporting False Links
-
I was looking at Google Webmaster Tools and the amount of links that are reported in there are inaccurate.
They reported over 50,000 links that created a huge spike in their link graph and I checked some of the links and they don't even have the link on their site.
Can anyone help with this?
-
The 50k in links is coming from one link source where our client bought a spot on buyersguide.aluminum.org.
I checked the pages of some of the reported links and dont see our client's link on the page.
This is an example link:http://buyersguide.aluminum.org/company.php?id=1120185&company=United Aluminum Corp.
When I check OSE, they link isnt listed there either.

Did you check the source code of the pages for your link?
It may have been some kind of aggregated spam.
Do any other tools report those links?

If I'm using a compressed sitemap (sitemap.xml.gz) that's the URL that gets submitted to webmaster tools, correct?
I just want to verify that if a compressed sitemap file is being used, then the URL that gets submitted to Google, Bing, etc and the URL that's used in the robots.txt indicates that it's a compressed file. For example, "sitemap.xml.gz" -- thanks!

Do you still loose 15% of value of inbound links when you redirect your site from http to https (so all inbound links to http are being redirected to https version)?
I know when you redesign your on website, you loose about 15% internally due to the 301 redirects (see moz article: https://mza.bundledseo.com/blog/accidental-seo-tests-how-301-redirects-are-likely-impacting-your-brand), but I'm wondering if that also applies to value of inbound links when you redirect your http://www.sitename.com to https://www.sitename.com. I appreciate your help!

Ranking on google.com.au but not google.com
Hi there, we (www.refundfx.com.au) rank on google.com.au for some keywords that we target, but we do not rank at all on google.com, is that because we only use a .com.au domain and not a .com domain? We are an Australian company but our customers come from all over the world so we don't want to miss out on the google.com searches. Any help in this regard is appreciated. Thanks.
