Why aren't my backlinks showing up?
-
I've recently switched hosting my site on www.vamospaella.com to www.vamospaella.co.uk (using a 301 redirect) and I've been building backlinks. According to Majesticseo, vamospaella.co.uk has 38 backlinks with 8 referrring domains and vamospaella.com has 15 external backlinks from 11 referring domains. Some of these backlinks date back a month, while others have shown up in the last week. However, I have seen no improvement in my Google rankings for my keywords. Why is this?

First off, be patient. It generally takes time for links to really give benefit. I've been aggressively building links to a few select pages over the last couple of months, and it's just now that I'm really starting to see quantifiable improvement.
Second, Moosa's advice on link quality, particularly blogging, is really valid. Upgrade the content on your site. You currently have a separate blog on wordpress.com? Bring that in house immediately. Start blogging on your own site so that you get maximum benefit out of any links you earn. Start guest blogging where possible.
Third: your links to the .com URL will pass most of the credit to .co.uk due to the 301 redirect, but they won't pass all of it. See if it's possible to point those old links directly to your new .co.uk domain for maximum juice.
Link building is by far the most labor-intensive aspect of SEO. Hang in there.

Ok, the major question is that when you are building back links:
- Why Majestic SEO is not showing it?
- Why there is no improvement is Rankings?
There is a difference between you building links and links go live as most of the links building opportunities does contain a moderation time period! (Manual links have no average time period while directories and articles and blogs do have a time period of maximum 2 weeks!)
So may be your inks are in the moderation because Majestic can only index the links that are live!
Well, as far as ranking is concern.. it depends upon various factors and not links only! I just take a quick look to your website and here are some tips that you can use to improve your visibility!
- Try to reduce the internal linking, they way you use it, aren’t natural and look quite spammy to search engines.
- Try to add quality contain on your website.
- Don’t push too much on directory links and try to grab links through blogging and through manual outreach
- Include your business to local websites
- Try adding a blog in the 2 phase on the website.
If you will try these, you will see a positive effect in rankings but again it also depends upon what keywords are you targeting… with the link profile that you currently have its almost seems impossible for you to rank for general keywords and phrases!

Backlinks from a secondary domain
Hi i finally figured out why my link profile is out of wack. Apparently we had a second domain registered that for some reason was active and linking to us - somewhat duplicated site. no idea when or how that happened. I wasnt with the company then. anyhow Ive now pointed the domain to a blank folder since I dont know how to disable it in 1&1 Hosting (if anyone knows please let me know!). Im wondering if this is enough? will the links still be there indexed even though the domain points to a blank folder? also how can I get google to profile my backlinks again? so I can see if it worked. Currently waiting for a new Moz crawl so Ill see if at least there my profile is looking healthier. thanks in advance!

Backlink question
Hi all. Here's the scenario. There is a company who provide financial services to their online clients. On ALL their clients sites they have a "payments-by-us" style logo with backlink to their homepage domain name. This means they have over 3,000 links from a multitude of non-related websites - with just 3 or 4 anchor text keywords in these backlinks. No surprise they have been hit by Penguin My questions What it the best practice for these type of linking LOGO's. Should they link to a dedicated page,and NOT the homepage? Should they have branded + anchor text, no text, or just branded? or a combination of each Should they even be a link at all as they are coming from such a diverse group of sites? I understand how Penguin penalises for overuse of money word keywords as anchor text. This is something that has definitely happened here (by the bucket load) ... Assume the anchor text is "Green Chips Finance" and that phrase is also overused and a bit "stuffy" in their homepage. Here's my question - could simply lowering the prominence / significance of "Green Chips Finance" on the actual home page, help in reducing the impact of the damage caused by the thousands of backlinks with "Green Chips Finance" as the anchor text? I say this as they have a similar number of back links saying "Red Chips Finance", but there is no mention of "Red Chips Finance" on their homepage other than in the keywords and a couple of standard text mentions (no H1, H2, alt text etc) ... interestingly, "Red Chips Finance" (not the real words) is Google No1 whereas "Green Chips Finance" has been demoted from longtime No1 to about 4. Cheers
