Heavy Weight Backlink not Showing in Google Webmaster Tool

[Diderino]

Hi Mozzers

I got a nice backlink from Huffingtonpost already a couple of months ago from this page to coinstackr.com: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/25/mt-gox-bitcoin_n_4854095.html

However, the link doesn't show in the Google Webmaster Tools. Is that common?

Cheers, Chris

Yes, unfortunately Google doesn't show all its links you can view them in open site explorer or majestic seo or Hrefs. I would still assume its been seen by Google though so don't panic.

If it shows in your analytics account as an incoming traffic source, they know about it. Have you linked out from your webpage or website to your new link?

I would add a link on your site to that particular post, since it links back to you, and use fetch as Google to get them to recrawl your page. Couldn't hurt, and it only take a few minutes. And yes, it is common.
