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.

.edu backlinks.. where to point them for a scholarship
Hello, My company offers an annual college scholarship to Women in Business. I have numerous colleges that have agreed to post our scholarship on their college websites. I want to make sure I get the full value of the .edu backlink and need some advice. I have a brand new scholarship page with no authority and that's basically orphaned from the rest of the website. This page details the application process for the scholarship. If I were to link out to my home page, and say 3-4 other top landing pages, would this be the best way to flow some of that link juice into my site? Or is there a better way to do this? Another thought I had was this.... I could take one of my top landing pages, www.example.com/example, and place the scholarship information on that page at the bottom, and have the school link to this: www.example.com/example#scholarship (so the scholarship info appears on top when applicants click it)-- My question here is this... becase the second URL includes an anchor, does google treat that as a different page? Or would the pagerank flow to www.example.com/example ? Recovering from unnatural link warnings and algorthmic penalties and trying to get the best benefit out of the new, quality links I'm building. Any advise would be appreciated! THANKS!

Handmadearea.com - anyone know what this is? Bizarre backlinks!
I have noticed just this week a lot of new backlinks from a site called handmadearea.com - for example http://handmadearea.com/url/hp-printer-software-zpe-center/. It looks like the site is somehow stripping my content structure and inserting spam where my content goes. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Should I be worried about it? The backlinks are not showing in Google Webmaster Tools so I can't easily disavow them at this point. Are they likely to be doing me harm? What can I do about them?

How important is the originating country of backlinks?
How important is it that you gain backlinks from websites in the same country you're targeting? Scenario: You have a website targeting users in Japan. How important is it that backlinks to your website are from Japanese websites? Do you need a majority of links from Japanese websites to rank well, or will you do OK with 25% Japanese links and 75% links from other countries? According to Majestic, sites for popular Japanese brands like tsutaya.co.jp and seiyu.co.jp get more links from US sites than from Japanese sites.
