Hi

I've been steadily building backlinks recently and when I search for them in google plenty of them appear in the serps. I think last time I put my username in on google and got about 35 results so I have plenty of my backlinks getting indexed.

When I goto majestic seo for any of my sites my last months activity shows no backlinks increase on the count but also shows zero backlinks on the line graph. I don't understand why that is. When I use to use fiverr gigs they'd show up and you'd see the spikes.

Since creating these backlinks myself majestic isn't picking them up but they are indexed in google.

Can anyone shed any light on this phenomenem please? I haven't seen much positive movement in my serp position for my link building either so it seems to two have some level of correlation

    Hi codecreative,

    Just because you found pages that contain your username is no guarantee that those same pages contain a link to your website. Did you check to see if an active link actually exists? If so, then you have a backlink that Google has discovered.

    Having said that, a backlink isn't worth much if it is on a page with little to no traffic. In those cases MajesticSEO may never discover it. Also, be aware that there is a gap in time between when a backlink is created and when a bot like MajesticSEO's will discover it, and even more time before it is made available in their online database. Also, some websites block the MajesticSEO bot from crawling the website and those will never show in their database.

    I am having this same problem, however, fiverr gigs don't show either. High pr backlinks show, but web 2.0 links and article directory links do not show, even after 2 months. I also notice that it says "page not yet crawled" even though the URL was last seen yesterday. Any ideas anyone?

    nothing can give you same results. There must be some change in more then one backlink checker.
