Average time to see results after linkbuilding?
-
Hello everyone,
I did some linkbuilding in the last few weeks, most of these links are already indexed by Google when i check their Google-cache. But i don't see any improvements in my own positions, despite my backlinks are really good.
I'm now wondering, how long does it normally take to see position improvements after your linkbuilding? (Further the on page SEO is good and i'm regulary updating my website)
Regards,
Yannick

PA = Page Authority and DA = Domain Authority. These are values SEOmoz use to "emulate" PageRank (emulate may not be the best choice of words).
you can get access to these metrics via the SEOmoz toolbar or opensiteexplorer
-
Oke thank you, then i'll search a bit further
-
Page authority and domain authority; they are Seomoz metrics.

OK it looks like you'll need to create some more backlinks as 10 is unlikely to help you out much unless they are really high in quality, which isn't likely with article sites.
-
Thank you as well for your answer,
Then i'll just wait an extra few weeks, but what do you mean with 'PA' and 'DA'?, i haven't heard from these before i think
-
Thanks for your answer,
I'm targeting a keyword with 14,6 million results, i'm now at page 2 on top for that keyword. I created around 10 backlinks which are all related to my site-subject and these websites are already ranking ones targeting for the same keyword i'm targeting or branche-related websites. These are mostly article websites, blogs etc.
My competitors are not that special, their backlinks mostly come from crappy linkdirectories etc. And non of the 9 websites above me regulary updates their website. When i update my website with a new newspost it's get cached by google within half an hour.

Hi Yannick,
The time can vary hugely depending on the competitiveness of the terms you targeting.
A general rule of thumb I use is wait a month and check opensiteexplorer results, check PA and DA for improvements, if these metrics have improved then you should see some positive SERPs movement.
regards

Not a simple question I'm afraid. How competitive are the keywords you're targeting? How many and what type of backlinks did you create?
There are so many different variables, onsite and offsite. Can you give us a bit more information?

All I could find was a bunch of ancient posts on RSS directories. Just getting a new site set up and I want it distributing content as far as possible all white hat. Are Rss directories even worth my time these days. I was thinking of submitting to the top 10. We blog about 2-10 posts per week. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

A link with "return false"- OSE sees as a No Followed Link
Hello, I couldn't find a clear answer to the impact on SEO for a link written in this way: [" class="expert_info" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">](w</span>ww.yourwebsite.com<span style=) [Does the "return false" act as a "no follow"? I came across this in our link data in Open Site Explorer which lists these links all as "no follows." However, an engineer I spoke to said that it shouldn't impact search engine behavior. Any ideas? Thank you in advance! -Sarah K.](w</span>ww.yourwebsite.com<span style=)

Is something strange going on with Google last few days?? Seeing strange results for competitive keywords
I am seeing some very strange results for competitive keywords. If I search on google.co.uk for "website design" which I feel is a pretty tough keyword. I see a site called http://www.techdesigns.co.uk/ If you go to the site its a laptop review site with no mention of website design on the site. They seem to be an Amazon Affiliate They have 23,597 links saying website design but mostly from adult websites. I have seen this on a few result related to SEO but dont want to mention any names in case we upset anyone on the forum. How can they rank for such a competitive keyword without onpage? Surely Panda should have hit this site? Why have they not been hit by Penguin so many adult links? Sorry if this is anyones site on here I am not looking to get you banned or hit just stumps me why this site ranks.

Finding links online that already exist as link juice based on search results
I'm curious about this, I can't find anything on the net that talks about it. I wrote an article about it on squidoo and have had no responses so I am thinking this is very rare subject. The question is I have done some backlink research with my competitors with linkdetective.com and found many links (even follow ones) related to sites that provide search results. Here are a link about what I am talking about as an example, I have found many more besides this one. http://search.lphant.com/es/webResults.html?q=free%20scrabble%20dictionary&hl=en&page=1&src=hmp_es&ref=1 My site appears in those results. When looking at the source there is no "nofollow". I found this page because linkdetective.com had this link listed pointing to my competitor. Are these valid backlinks? What I have been doing is adding these links to http://www.google.com/addurl so that Google knows about them. Is there something I am missing or are these valid?

What are the first linkbuilding actions I should take?
I am building a couple of brand new websites for myself and a client. I'm operating on a fairly limited budget ~$1000.00 for 3 sites. All 3 are in the life sciences and chemistry field. If you were me what are the first sites you try to get links from? Or should I just hire a link building service like Paul and Angela's? I guess Im looking for specific domains that are a must to get links from.
