Link from Dr. Oz web site not being seen, what are we doing wrong?

[AWCthreads]

Hi Mike. Right click on Dr. Oz page with your link on it. In the popup, select "view page source." It will open up a page with a bunch of code on it. On line 9 you will see the no index tag.

When checking links, I typically check the profile in open site explorer and Webmaster tools in Analytics.

Why would they do that? Don't they want the page seen on search?

Another example to our other site:

LauriLoewenberg.com

This site has us linked but we don't see them in the On Site Exploreer.

I didn't see the no-index tag

They want the page before it seen on search.

Google "dr oz videos" and you will go to the page preceding Lauri's book page you referenced. The link that goes to Lauri's site is at this Oz page: http://www.doctoroz.com/book/dream-it.

I got to the page selling your wife's book by Googling: dr oz lauri loewenberg.

And that page doesn't say "no index" so why aren't we getting any juice for that?

Hi Mike. Now we're getting into robots.txt, noindex, nofollow, follow tags etc. There's a lot of information regarding these tags and what they mean.

Use the search tool above and search robots, nofollow, noidex etc. You'll find a lot of posts and links that describe what they mean to Google and how they they should be used.

If you haven't already, you might load the mozbar and use the highlighter tool to quickly check links, view source code etc.

There's a lot to explore and understand.

Honestly, it's a bit overwhelming which is why I think we need some help to make the right moves. I will keep reading as you recommend.

Thanks so much for your responses.

Mike
