Grr SEO linking.. I am not understanding why I wouldn't have lots more links.. Please help. Thanks

[Scott1234]

I have done the whole moz open exploer and I am not understanding why my site wouldn’t have more links registering to my website.. I have lots of sites(directorys and 3rd party) with my website domain in them. The only one that is linking to my site is BBB.com and my advertsing with saint paul press.

www.somerersetautodealer.com

But if I have links with all kinds of automotive directories why wouldn’t they register?

I am sure this a simply answer or that I am not understanding something. Thanks for your help!

Scott,

Questions like this get asked all the time in this forum. I suggest you use the search function on the right to look up some of the answers. Quickly though (and I’m paraphrasing another answer), Moz isn't going to discover all your links because it (like others) has limited resources. Some links will get found in subsequent crawls, others may never get found.

All the link research tools suffer from this same constraint, some more than others. None pick up as many links as Google, and Google doesn't share all the links it finds with us.

Hi Scott,

Just a little tip for you - set a Google Alert for your brand name, URL or title that others will use to link to you, and then when they appear, you will get an e-mail from Google - this is normally a  much faster way to approach discovery.

But as Donna said, no one place will report everything linking to you as they have limited resources to go off and crawl the web. The best thing to do is gather resources from different locations and collate them (MOZ, Search Console, Ahrefs & Majestic).
