Ive linked to my main site from about 20 of my pbn sites by now over the coarse of a month. None of them have shown up as ahrefs backlinks yet.
 
why are you worrying about ahrefs picking them up or not ? if they are indexed in google that's all you need to worry about
 
It's just strange. Only some of them are showing up as backlinks from the search console, and they come over a long time. They are indexed though, i can find them in google.
 
because ahrefs is not a multibillion dollar company with the resources and datacenters to create crawler the size of googles...it will crawl you just have to wait
 
PBN means to be Private Blog Network , which mean it back links should not be appears to someone else your competition etc .
if you PBN success hide it link from Ahreaf that mean your network are working very well .

LOOOOOL. As if by magic you can make them private!!!!

I agree with what you are saying but OP's should appear in ahrefs because he hasn't took any precautions to stop it.

Agreed. I want to track progress in Ahrefs. Theres no reason this shouldnt be showing in Ahrefs

This is what it matters as far as the PBN's effectiveness is concerned. If you see that page in GWMT as well, then the thread is pretty much solved. You should be happy for your competitors for not seeing your backlink profile through Ahrefs.

Well, he could have made it not show up in ahrefs by blocking the crawler. Many people argue you should block crawlers from ahrefs, majestic, etc so your links are more private and your competition can't see what you're doing. Others argue that could leave a footprint, or simply that if you're building your PBN sites properly it won't really make that much difference whether your competition sees it or not - at least not any more than any of the other links they can see.

People have a lot of different strategies and techniques with PBNs and each strategy will have people on both saids saying whether it is better to do it or not to do it.


That said, it doesn't sound like OP blocked the crawlers, so the reason would most likely be Ahref's just hasn't gotten there yet since they're not as robust as Google's spiders.

But whether Ahref's shows it or not has absolutely ZERO bearing on where you rank in Google.
 
the right kind of question you should be asking. Is up my keyword ranking? a right question it is. :)

I had experience once blocking all creepy crawlers for an new website , I manged to block most of them Via user Agent block except majestic they were the most wily since they even uses G user agent if they discover you block their , that's why I block their IP range instead .
 
You can find all links in Google Webmaster Tools :)

You basically just explained what I said in full, I couldn't be bothered rewriting something that has been said 1000X on this forum :)
 
if you insist to get it indexed on ahrefs
then get a link to those pages from a solid ahrefs ranks domain on a page that is already ahrefs indexed on said domain
 
post your links here and the will show up on hrefs in like 2 hours

I've thought before it would be interesting to set it up to serve the other crawlers a different set of content, or even better the same content without external links or without the money links or whatever.

I know Google doesn't like it if you serve their crawlers something different than than the users, but it seems like if set up properly Google wouldn't have any way of knowing you were serving different content to ahrefs, majestic, moz, etc and the non-Google crawlers wouldn't have any idea that they had been "blocked" because they actually received a normal looking page they just don't see the links to your site.

Don't ever try to serve different page for Google , I tried once(white-list G-bot IP list ) and immediately I got manual action , if you don't know G owns some ISP's around the world .

The distinction I was making was that you're not serving Google different content. You're serving Google the same thing as everyone else - only Ahref, Majestic, etc are getting singled out with the special content that doesn't show your backlinks.

While Google can easily find out what you're serving to normal users, it seems unlikely that they would know or care what you're showing specifically to Ahrefs.
