I have several high dr backlinks put out on different sites and only one of them shows up in ahrefs/majestic.

So my question is, is there a step 2 after putting the links out there? yesterday i put some links on them to see if they eventually pop up on ahrefs or majestic.

The reason why am asking is only 1 out of about 10 links popped up on both ahrefs and majestic and completely exploded my organic reach for several high comp. words. But the others have not yet. Its been about 3-4 months...

Will it help by put some links on them?
 
No SEO software (not even Google themselves) will pick up, or show you all of the backlinks. So, don't stress about Ahrefs / Majestic not showing all of your backlinks. If you know that those backlinks exist and they're indexed by google, that's all that matters for your site. If the links are good you'll feel their power in your rankings, if they're bad you won't feel anything :)

And speaking of indexed, of course there's a difference between indexed and link juice, especially since they're 2 TOTALLY different notions.

Indexed means that google have your URL / backlink in their database, and you can easily check whether any URL is indexed by simply typing it into google. If you type it into google and you can see it then it's indexed and you're good, your job as a link builder ends there if you don't care about tiered link building.

Link juice is, simply, the power of a backlink. Not all backlinks are equal, so not all of them have the same power / strength / authority / page rank / link juice / DR / DA / whatever you want to call it (they're all the same thing at their core), which is why you see free links and paid links (the free ones are usually - NOT always, though - shitty links because they're easy to get and everyone has access to them, and the paid ones are, obviously, better and will give more authority to your domain, which is why these links are paid and expensive).

By the way, if someone offers you "quality links" for $1 run like hell, or laugh in their face because they're either trying to scam you, or they don't know shit about SEO and those "quality links" that they offer you for $1-2 are just like their SEO knowledge: useless

The reason why am asking is only 1 out of about 10 links popped up on both ahrefs and majestic and completely exploded my organic reach for several high comp. words. But the others have not yet. Its been about 3-4 months...
the fact that your rankings completely exploded are not attributable to the fact that Ahrefs show you those backlinks, but to the fact that the links are good indeed... or maybe your rankings exploded after the last important google update because - as you probably know by now - after each google update some sites tank while others thrive. This has happened to many of my sites along the years, and your site could have just benefited from the last google update, the backlinks could actually have nothing to do with it (which would then explain why your other keywords are nowhere after 4 months).

what do you mean? Build links to your backlinks, or to the keywords (pages) that are nowhere after 4 months?

If you were asking about building links to the non-ranking pages then yes, definitely build links to those pages. How else are you going to rank for competitive keywords then? Because that's the best way (and in some cases the only way) to rank for tough keywords.

If you meant build links to your backlinks then I don't know what to say, it depends on your goal I guess... do you want to consolidate those rankings and increase your domain's authority even more? If yes, then sure, you can build links to your existing backlinks. I would consult with the provider of your tier 1 backlinks first, though, because some providers are not happy with you blasting their pages with shitty links :)

I don't know your reason for building links, but your linkings getting picked up by Ahrefs and similar tools would not in anyway pass link juice to your site. It would not improve your chances of ranking, so stop stressing over it.


What you should be considered with is getting indexed by Google not getting indexed by Ahrefs. Unless you built the site for the sole purpose of selling links with DR and UR as selling points for the site.

thats a great answer with good explanations. yes i meant blasting links into the backlinks... well hard to ask since its telegram and wikiprofile xD but thanks for your input. Maybe its placebo but i thought maybe ahrefs and majestic only show the links that gives linkjuice and hide those links that dont matter... but after asking several experienced in this matter i think i am convinced: stop watching ahrefs and majestic and just put the links as good as i can. I now tried this blasting technique where i´ve put several links on my backlinks. Just to see what happens. Today i lost 9 dr haha, maybe it has nothing to do with the above, maybe it has. Time will tell.

I never buy from strangers, only IRL ppl i know. Also i check every link to see what they are, content, dr, traffic, etc... but one can never be to careful. Ty again!

building links to your main backlinks is a powerful ranking technique and you should definitely do it if you have the means or if you're targeting tough keywords.

As far as I know, Ahrefs and Majestic show the links they can find, not those with DR, but they might have changed their algorithm?? I don't know, and if you know for sure that they've changed it please let me know :)

The reason you lost DR could be attributed to one, or both of these facts:

1) for whatever reason, you lost some valuable backlinks (check if the links have been nofollow'd, removed from their page, the page deleted or its URL altered)
2) Ahrefs is having issues calculating the DR (which is possible because I heard quite a few people lately saying that Ahrefs are messing with their algo)

Awesome! You're doing link building correctly then :)

nice, thanks! am not in panic, just noticed it dropped, but ill have a look at whats going on.
 
Ahrefs or Majestic does not index your links and has nothing to do with rankings.
You should worry about indexing on Google, Bing, etc.

i know my friend but that wasnt the question... all links are have been indexed for months, its just that in my head ive been thinking that indexed is step 1 and getting the link juice is step 2 (when they appear on ahrefs or majestic) but i dont think thats the case, i will get back when i see further results

bro, am not lying... wikiprofile link appeared on my ahref the day after i blasted a couple of links into it! now this tells me something... ahrefs only shows the links that they feel contribute to the total linkjuice? that are of importance, it really isnt a coincidence... i will try will a couple of more links. Keep in mind, the link have been indexed for 3-4 months... it only appeared on ahrefs after i blasted a couple of high DA links into it...
