Error on Incoming Links report
-
On a client site https://compassionateleaders.co.uk/ Incoming links is reporting a domain link from Huffingtonpost.co.uk amongst 30 others.
However when I review Inbound Links it is showing Zero results.
How is this possible? Is there an issue in the system?

@Marketing_Optimist The discrepancy between reported incoming links and zero results in inbound links can be due to:
Data Indexing Delay: There might be a delay in updating.
Link Removal or No-follow: The link might have been removed or marked as no-follow.
Data Synchronization Issues: Parts of the tool may not be fully synchronized.
Filtering and Display Settings: Filters might be hiding the links.
Canonical Issues: The link might point to a different version of the URL.
Tool-Specific Limitations: The tool might have its own criteria or bugs. -

How is this possible? Is there an issue in the system?Discrepancies between reported incoming links and actual inbound links could occur due to various reasons. It's possible that the data reported in the Incoming Links section hasn't been updated recently. Different tools and systems have varying refresh rates for data updates. Some links reported in the Incoming Links section might be from low-quality or spammy websites, which might not be considered valid inbound links by the system. Additionally, the tool might not have crawled or indexed all the inbound links yet, as it can take time for search engines and link analysis tools to discover and index new links pointing to a website. There could also be discrepancies or inaccuracies in the data reported by the tool, as automated systems sometimes misinterpret or incorrectly attribute incoming links. If you suspect there's an issue with the system or the data being reported, it's a good idea to reach out to the support team of the tool or service provider for further investigation.

Backlinks vs External Links vs Referral Links vs Outbound links
Hello all, I was just wondering if you could explain the difference between all the links above? I'm confused as they all seem to be the same or similar and I would just like to clearly know what distinguishes them from eachother. Thanks for your help, Jayne

Back link from site with DA of 72 to a website domain. Clicking on the link redirects to our website not the attended one.
Hi,
Link Building | | JIMBO16
I've ran a back link check and discovered a good back link to a site which then gets redirected back to my company's website. I have a feeling that an old SEO agency has purchased a small website which has a decent link back from a relevant organisation with a high Domain authority and then redirects the domain to our website to get the link juice. What are your thought on this? Is this really bad practise and possibly damaging? Thanks, Jim0 -
Nasty links
Hi My first q on here (hoorah!), and it's about links (boo!). I've got what appears to be a handful (but worryingly, increasing in number) of links pointing to my site like this: http://condos.mrgulffront.com/florida-condos-for-sale/320-scenic-gulf-drive-miramar-beach-fl-32550-mls-567591/ I've made contact with the sites concerned, and had only one positive response who flatly denied all knowledge of it. The issue (as far as I can see) is that as in the above example the links (on the bottom right in the grey box) are forever changing so not always visible. Can anyone offer any guidance as to these kinds of nasty links.... I'm right at the v beginning on this "path of seo understanding" so please don't assume prior knowledge! Thanks in advance.... tom

Do footer links pass less link juice?
One of my best inbound links for PA and DA happens to be a footer link, curious if it's less valuable or has any value at all.

Changing links
Hi guys i wanted you views on changing the anchor text of links. I have quality links coming in but with year terms such as 2012 in there, if i want to change them all to 2013 for example would it be badly seen by Google? I cant say i feel comfortable about doing it but they are my links and are related to our products. Any advice much appreciated.

Text Link vs image link?
Which passes most link juice a text link or an image with the correct 'alt' attribute? Do the pass the same amount or is one more valuable than the other?
