        Sometimes, you only need a few good quality backlinks; for example, high-quality backlinks, from say the BBC, can be enough for your website to jump from page 3 of Google, onto page one of Google.

        We sell garden buildings in Bath.

        We've moved our business on to page one of Google by building high-quality do follow and no-follow backlinks.

          There is no set number for ranking. You can have 100,000 backlinks, but if they're from sites like how to sell your house or for model airplanes, they won't help at all.

          You want links from relevant sites, and you'll want to get the other sites a reason to link to you, usually in the form of good content on your site.

            Crawl results on keyword rankings differ from actual search rankings

            For the second week in a row, the weekly keyword rankings in my MOZ account show "not in top 50" for most keywords. However, when I check some of my rankings  I still broadly have the rankings that I used to have. It seems that the MOZ crawl is experiencing some difficulties. Does anyone have suggestions how to find out what's going on? If I can't rely on the crawl outcomes, then the tool is not very useful anymore!

            Keywords Data Tool: Why is volume metrics unavailable for all of my keywords?

            When I use the SEOMoz Pro Tool for Keyword Resarch, I get the notice that the tool is getting improvements. But when I run my keywords all of the volume metric data is unavailable. Why is this?

            Ranking History - different to my actual

            Hi Little confused with the ranking report on a campaign.  www.google.co.uk I am position 1 for "web development company".  On the ranking report I am not in the top50.  Last update was on the 18th Jan. How current is the ranking report as my other ranking software (Rank Tracker) is a little more upto date?

            Why does SEO MOZ Pro scan your competitors keyword rankings?

            I find the keyword rankings feature of SEOmoz Pro probably it's most useful feature.  I was wondering why you can't see your listed competitors stats in comparison?

            Colors in keyword Difficulty Report

            Hi Everyone Two quick questions today 1. How can I find out hat the different colors within the keyword Difficulty Report represent and how can I see examples of how this information can help us with our data analysis? 2. The second question I have is regarding the Term Extractor. Seems when I ran a domain it provided the wrong data. For example, it stated that a certain keyword exists certain number of times within the description and title of the page but when I looked at the source this was not the case so it made studying the competition harder.
            Any suggestions or has anyone else noticed this? Thanks in advance for all your help.

            Is there a way to manually update the keyword rankings tool in SEOmoz?

            It appears that our keyword rankings update weekly on Thursdays. Is this the same across the board or is there a way to manually run an update?

            What time of day are keyword rankings updated

            The keyword rankings in one of my campaigns update on Tuesday.  It looks like they updated today but when I downloaded to CSV, some say last Tuesday. Is this because they didn't change or are they still updating?  Today is Tuesday. i.e., do they update at a specific time and if so, what time?
