New Links - Not Found

[stefanok]

Hi there mozzers,

Got a quick question regarding link building. I built a fsir bit of links, and was just wondering when these links will be indexed as links pointing to my sites?

Silly novice question but been over a month and links still arent being picked up, so was just wondering.

Stefano,

Firstly, it depends on what you mean by your links not being picked up or indexed. How are you checking this? Remember that Google only reveals a small fraction of it's data.

Also, when it comes to indexing, it really depends on the types of links you've built.

Depending on the type of links, you may need to "encourage" indexing via a number of strategies (RSS, pinging, secondary link building, social bookmarking, etc).

Hi David,

I am using seomoz and majestic seo to see my links. Im just concerned to see that my links aren't being picked up.

Would you recommend to ping links and how many links to ping at a  time?

Hi Stefano,

For SEOmoz, it can be two crawl cycles to pick up links, so it can take two months. OSE also doesn't cover the entire web, so if they are low-value pages, they might not show up at all.

I wouldn't worry just yet, and keep your eye out for the next index release, which is scheduled for January 4th.

Thank you for the reply. Yes, they are great and authoritative links so was finding it strange that they weren't being picked up.

Looking forward to the 4th of Jan
