Can't find backlinks shown in report.
-
I ran an advanced report to show me all the backlinks pointing to a domain. When I go to many of the domains listed, I can't find the link. I've searched the pages by anchor text in the browser and nothing comes up. Anyone know why this would be?
-
There are many possibilities.
-
the links may have been removed for various reasons
-
the links may still exist on the site but be located on another page. For example if you have a link which shows ?page=4 and then more comments or info is added, the link may move to a different page.
-
the link may exist on the page in such a manner where crawlers see it but your eyes do not. Try right-clicking on the page and choosing View Page Source and then searching for the anchor text.
-
try using the site's Search function for the anchor text
-
try performing a google site: search for the anchor text on the given site
-
perhaps it is not anchor text but an image alt text?
Those are the main issues I can think of off the top of my head.

In order to be helpful I would need to know the domain of your site which these links are pointing to.

My apologies. I missed your prior reply where you shared the link.
I found a link to the page on the site: http://www.articlesezines.com/getting-new-cushions-heres-how-to-measure-your-furniture-properly/
anchor text is "measure your furniture"
I used the site's Search box and looked for "measure your furniture" with the quotation marks. Only one result appeared and it has the link to your site.
