Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The link: command has been unreliable and has underreported links for years. Google's own help says it's a sampling of links to the site (https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/55281?hl=en). To see more links (though they still admit it's a sample), verify your site in Google Webmaster Tools and they will show you some more links.

It's often an internal link that's a bit screwed up that will cause this to happen. Look for a missing colon in http:, or something like that.

That could be, as a 302 is a temporary redirect. You'll want a 301 there.

I'm meeting with one of the Q&A project leads this afternoon, and will show them this question.

For monitoring a thread, if you click Email Updates, you can get an email each time there's a new post on the thread, without having to make a post yourself.

We don't have a way to show you which threads you've visited, but we do show you if a thread has new answers when you're browing the list of questions.

This question is over three years old, and the person who made this reply is no longer a Pro member. If you have a question on a similar subject, it's probably better to start a new thread after all this time. Thanks!

You might find some interesting points in yesterday's Moz Blog post about getting reviews the right way for local businesses. http://moz.com/blog/getting-reviews-the-right-way-for-local-businesses

This forum isn't generally used for requests for services, though it does happen on occasion. There are actually some individuals on the recommended list.

It could be that the question doesn't have enough details for people to send in a good proposal. It makes a big difference if your three branded keywords are related to a Cash For Gold site, or for three variations of a high schooler's name who is attempting to get into college and wants bad tweets pushed out of the way.

A quick side question: do you realize the entire newpeakmedia.com site is blocked from indexing in robots.txt?

True Social Metrics offers some free tools. Jen writes more about how we use it at Moz at http://moz.com/blog/social-engagement-metrics-that-matter.

I'd want a few more details. Most blog posts and press releases have links in them. Social bookmarking is all about links. Google has also gone against press releases just for links, as well as blog posts just for links.

There's a great set of answers for a very similar question at http://moz.com/community/q/how-to-get-links-for-boring-niches-industries.

Thomas, if you're not sure what the poster meant, it's best to ask a clarifying question, rather than give out an answer that may not be related to their question. Thanks!

Can you share any information about your robots.txt?

Moz Local is a standalone product, and the price doesn't change with whether or not you have a Moz Pro account.

Moz isn't able to access your Google Webmaster Tools setting, so we're reporting on what we see on your site.

Could you interview them instead, and then pay someone to transcribe it? Talk with them, get the information in person, record it (perhaps even on a smartphone), then pay a transcription service or under-utilized staff person to transcribe and then a content person to polish it up

For accounting, I think there are some big firms in the last ten years that would disagree that nothing interesting happens.

In all cases, I'd start with the person who answers the phone and answers the email inquiries. What questions do they get all the time? What information do they send out by email? How much of that can you put on the web, to both draw traffic and to ease some of the phone calls and emails you get with basic questions?

Someone can order concrete, but how much hand-holding do they need to choose which type of concrete to order? How do they know how to judge how much to order? If it's for a pathway to my front door where two people live, do I need a different mix than if it was a sidewalk at an elementary school that has 800 kids? What about permeable concrete that lets rain go through?

What size forklift do I need? What considerations do I need to take into account when ordering one? Are there some that are too high for common garages? Do I need any training to use one? What if I need one for just an hour to unload a unit of plywood, can I get the delivery person to wait while I unload so they can take the forklift back? What happens if the plywood delivery is late and you end up serving lunch to the forklift delivery person? (this paragraph is all based on personal experience!)

Those are more for content than link building, I realize. For links, perhaps a local real estate agent has a column about DIY concrete driveways and could recommend your client as a reputable company? Could they sponsor a little league team and be sure that the team has a link back? If they're a member of the BBB or trade organizations, be sure to get links.

You don't want a copy of your website out there. Ask your developers to block that demo server in robots.txt, and consider putting a password on it as well just for extra security.

Hi Cesar,

Do you mean landing pages? We don't provide the ability for you to make your own website/pages via Moz Analytics. Can you elaborate a little on what you're looking for?

Thanks!

Here's a replacement post with some of the same information at http://moz.com/help/pro/why-can-t-rogerbot-crawl-my-site. You can also send a note to the help desk at help@moz.com and we'll help you figure out what's up.
