        The time it takes for links to be indexed by search engines can vary widely. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks for search engines to discover and index new links. Factors such as the authority of the linking site, the frequency of content updates, and the relevance of the linked content can all influence indexing speed.

          It can take a long time sometimes for new links to get indexed.

          It can take over two weeks for the new links to get indexed; thats our experience, and we run a large company that builds garden rooms.

            Variation of links depends on your anchor text covered by percentage. So, in my opinion whenever you create make sure also give backlinks to authority site for fast index as well as you money site like on my site http://www.zombocalypse2.org/  follow my steps to index fast your site links.

              Hey, thanks for contacting us!

              Link Explorer and the Links tab of Moz Pro Campaigns are both tied to our Link index, which is constantly updating.

              Our index updates daily! Moz crawls and indexes billions of pages, adding fresh link data every day. When discovered or lost links are found, we'll update our database to reflect those changes in your scores and link counts. We prioritize the links we crawl based on a machine learning algorithm to mimic Google's index. Each day DA and PA will be updated to reflect this new data. This does not mean that DA and PA will change every day; it'll only change if we find new link data for a respective site.

              I'm sorry I can't tell you exactly when your DA will update it depends on when we find new equity passing backlinks to your site. 
              You can read more about our new Link Explorer tool and our index here.
              You can also read more about how our Link index compares with our competitors here https://backlinko.com/best-backlink-checker

              If you have any further questions, please email us at help@moz.com.

                Once you have cleaned up links / disavowed them how to get google to take notice quicker

                Once we have contact webmasters and had some links removed / changed from money anchor text to brand anchor text. Or failing that once we have submitted spam URLs to our disavow file, should we just wait and keep and eye on the how quickly google re caches the URLs or should we try and force google to recrawl the urls quicker by submitting them to Google's submit url tool ?

                Google indexing nofollow links

                Hi Guys I have yellowpages.com.au appearing in the link profiles for some of my clients, but not in others (even if clients without the link in their profile have had an actual link on yellowpages.com.au longer than some who do have it in their profile). My understanding is that Google MAY eventually index a nofollow link... My question is what would cause Google to actually index it?

                When pitching a whitepaper as Push Content for Link Building, is it ok to give the person I'm pitching a link to a landing page with a form on it?

                When pitching a whitepaper as Push Content for Link Building (i.e. pushing out content that my client has created), is it ok to give the person I'm pitching a link to a landing page with a form on it? Or should I create a landing page with the whitepaper included on it? I’m not sure if the client will be ok with this b/c I know they use the whitepaper for sales purposes to gain leads.   For example, my pitch email would include a line such as this, "the whitepaper can be found at LINK and I'd love if you could share it with your readers." I think it may be weird/a little wrong to ask a webmaster to include a link on his site to a landing page with a form to get the whitepaper. Does this make sense? What have others done with whitepapers as Push Content for link building?

                Link Building

                I'm having difficulty creating a solid link base. I would prefer to only have links that are on relevant sites that are likely to drive traffic rather then just adding my company page to site directories. I've checked out the whiteboard Friday edition of link building and have also used the new Moz analytics that helps recommend sites to link to, but all the recommendations were directories. So, could anyone hold my hand and guide me through the world of Link building? Your help, as always, is much appreciated. Thanks everyone Dave

                Link Detox and Link Removal

                I have a question about which links to remove after running a link detox from Link Research Tools. First a little back story. I had had an SEO company link building for one of the websites I own.  But I have recently stopped working with them. In the last month my rankings have near dropped off the charts. I have just recently gotten access to Google webmaster tools and noticed an unnatural link warning from back in March. So yesterday I ran link detox and it reported 19 toxic links, 120 suspicious links, and 24 healthy links. It's rather obvious that I should remove all of the toxic links. They all from sites that have been deindexed by google. But my question is a about the suspicious links. What should my criteria be for removing them? Am I better off removing them all and leaving my site with only 24 healthy links or should I personally comb through them and remove only the worst of the worst so that I leave my site with a few more links? I'd really like to get the site ready to resubmit to google as soon as I can. Thoughts? yyCOf.png

                Competitors with thousands of links

                Looking at my competitors link results on OSE some of them have 30,000 links to their websites. They are top rank on google whereas I am page 2.  I know its quality over quantity but am I ever going to compete with that number of links? Is it worth getting some low value links just to bump up numbers while continuing getting good links? thanks for any advice!
