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?

Link Spamming or Not? Block Internal Search Results From Indexing?
We are looking at providing our customers with the best experience when performing a site search for a product. Would it be bad SEO practice to have our internal search results show results for all 4 Brands linking to different domains? This would mean multiple outgoing links to other owned sites from the same IP. Is it a best practice to block internal search results using robots.txt?

Timing of Adding Links -- Guidance Needed
We have entered into a partnership with one of our sister companies that owns many different small newspapers and their associated websites -- they have agreed to show some of our content on their site along with providing links back to our website. There are 50+ of these websites that we will be getting links from. Does it matter to Google how quickly we add these links to these sites? They are all very legitimate links with unique content provided. We just didn’t know if Google would view it negatively if we added a bunch at one time. Any guidance on the timing of how links are added would be most valuable. Thank-you.

Linkbuilding from sites with lower Domain Authority and Page Rank than mine?
I have decided to approach all my suppliers and ask them for a link. If their site has a lower PR/DA than mine (PR4, DA43) is is it still worth asking them from a link, given the time that needs to be invested in this type of link building?
