Link-Building update in SEOmoz

[PedroM]

Hello,

I have been doing some link-building and Im worried because I still dont see those links pointing to my website in SEOmoz. How long it takes to see those links in SEOmoz? ( I started last wednesday)

Tks in advance,

Regards,

Pedro Menezes Pereira

Hi Pedro,

Open Site Explorer does not show your links instantly. The index gets updated roughly every month, and your links can sometimes take up to 2 update cycles to be shown in the linkscape index.

You can check out the update schedule at http://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/345964-linkscape-update-schedule

Tks for the help Casey!

Anyway how many links should I "work" everyday to achieve my SEO porpuses without having the problem of Google thinking Im doing something wrong? 5 links a day?

I don't have a "limit" answer for you, just that consistency is the key. Whether it is 1 or 100 a day (or week or month), just be consistent.

Remember that Google wants to see signs of life not signs of spam. So "working" 1,000 links one week and then nothing till the next month will get you the wrong type of attention.

And I concur with Casey, we started a huge linkbuilding campaign a couple months back and we just this past week are seeing all the links come through.

If you are building your links by actively participating and generally being a helpful person you don't have to worry - Google (and the rest of us) like that!
