Welcome to the Q&A Forum

After doing the link check on a domain, got 40 or so links.

Clicked Request CSV

The file that is downloaded contains no links. The column headings are there but no content

Did this twice and got same blank file. OSE is showing the 40 links

If you need to do anything to get a link indexed, them it is probably such a weak link, its not worth having.

I would not waste my time and/or money on such an approach.

Think about it this way: If DA and PA had anything to do with traffic, how do you think Moz knows what traffic a site is getting in order to factor that in the DA ad PA calculations?

They are based on link metrics.

It will be listed under Manual Penalties in your Webmaster Console.

Correlation does not imply causation.

I just got 3 more in the last 20 mins!

I had 15-20  as well.

The moz toolbar!

You need to change it to something less keyword stuffed and less spammy looking that you are happy with and see how Google handles it. Experiment.

BTW, you and I may not think your title is keyword stuffed or spammy, but that does not matter - what matters is the algorithm is interpreting it as that, so you need to change it to get the title in the search results that is better than what Google is deciding for you.

Agreed, Google tend to change them when the algorithm perceives that the title of the page is not useful to the searcher. This usually happens when the title is spammy or keyword stuffed. Google is trying to better serve the searcher and not the webmaster by doing this. You need to experiment/split test the title.

This may be a bit harsh, but in all honestly I would be unhappy at getting these sites in my search results if I was searching for info on the products.They are nothing more than useless thin affiliate sites that offer no value to the web. You may say that they are not thin affiliates,but they are.

Have you been removing the spam article marketing links to the site? I can see a number of links that no longer exist.

I notice you have been:

"We are doing forum posting, blog commenting, press release submission, social bookmarking & directory submission as daily." https://productforums.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/webmasters/jXbG3Y4vWvc

That is not a very wise thing to do and will, at best, not be helping you and at worst, hurting you

"I'd like to try damn hard to get a link" That is funny! There is nothing you can do except submit your site once to the one best category. Anything more than that is a waste of effort and time and is more likely to hurt you than help you. There is nothing more that you can do. Do what Daniel said and, move on. There is nothing more you can do. Resubmitting, as you have done, is the worse thing you can do and further harmed your chances of getting listed.

1. Why do you even want to boost it for? It counts for NOTHING. Its not used by the search engines at all.

2. Alexa rankings are based on visitors to your site by those with the alexa tool bar installed.

3. To increase it, just install the tool bar (and get a few buddy's to do it as well) and click on your site a few times each day.

Look up the 90 9 1 principle (ignore the debates about the actual numbers, its the philosophy that counts)

Try this as starters:

Can I just make a generic comment. Webmasters 'can't understand" it when a site goes from from, say 1st to 5th and consider that something must be wrong. Yet are not surprised when a site goes from 5th to 1st. I don't get it!
