Backlinks not showing up in the campaign crawl
-
I have been adding backlinks, about 110 since the last crawl, but only 14 new linking domains showed in my campaign profile. Can someone explain?
Is it that the linking domains were not crawled and thus not seen.
Is it that the crawl posting is from data that was crawled a long time ago (4-6 weeks ago) and it took a while for it to show up
is it that the domains i got links on were, possibly, not so hot and just get filtered out?

Thank you Richard. I have been reviewing some of my questions to post updates on what happened since. It seems that some of the backlinks took 4 or 5 months to show up on the report. So perhaps the lower quality links can take longer if they are on small sites who do not get much indexing action.

Rand recently spoke of this and yes, some of this is due to those links not being indexed. Some may be deep links, or simply outside SEOmoz crawl at the moment. SEOmoz is working to increase its indexing power for speed of refreshes and depth of crawls.

There is another post speaking to this, however, SEOmoz does not yet have the ability to Favorite post
I hope that answers your question.

Thanks Dejan, they are not showing up in the SEOmoz Open Site Explorer Crawl (2/21/2011 version). Some are new profiles at places I saw my competitors had, but maybe I need to get something done to get the profiles crawled. Good point. I had left that off the list of to-do items. Very helpful thanks. Some are just regular old links but the new links did not show up. Maybe 5 of the 100+ were profiles. hmmm. Thanks for your help.

Hi Ken,
When you say campaign profile do you refer to SEO Moz or Google Webmaster Tools or backlink profile in general?
Note that 3rd party providers use mostly their own crawlers and you therefore depend on the freshness of their data. If you're talking about Google, link: command only gives a sample, whereas Google Webmaster Tools does provide more detailed backlink information - however in my experience still lagging by 1-8 weeks in some cases.
Time will surely reveal your backlinks if they are accessible to search engines. If they are hidden (eg blank forum profiles) and nothing manages to get to them then to index they will not show up at all.

Do Press Releases Show Up as Links?
We release a press release nearly a year ago: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/2/prweb9185282.htm However, I can't find the links or the prweb.com linking domain in our link profile. I've see MarketWire links show up in competitors' profiles. Is this just an issue specific to PRWeb or am I missing something? Thanks!

Backlinks, how do you get them?
Recently, I listed our site on a few directory's which I deemed as not spammy and had good domain authority (competitors were using these). This was about 2 weeks ago and have not seen them come up as a backlink using open site explorer? I was wondering whether i'm missing something out here or does it take longer than 2 weeks to gain a backlink from a website? Thanks in advance.

Press Releases as Backlinking
After analyzing one of my competitors I notices they show up in PRweb as one of their top rated back linking sites. My question is using prweb or something similar okay to use for backlinking? Would they help at all? Also, since they distribute content, would I get penalized for duplicate content?
