GSA SER links not showing up on Ahrefs
I've been playing around and studying GSA SER for some time now, but I came across a major problem that I need to fix ASAP. Any help, comment or a tip will be much appreciated.
I have been testing GSA SER and so far the tool seems very solid. I mean getting tons of tier 2 links with a click of a button is crazy.
Now I set up GSA to build some .gov & .edu links + some niche relevant links for my own domain. It's been a week now since I have been running these links to my own site (so far I've got around 800 links)
The problem is that when I go on ahrefs I see no results, the backlinks are the same as before and no GSA generated backlink is nowhere to be seen on ahrefs or any other seo tool.
I would really appreciate if someone could explain to me why my GSA links doesn't appear on ahrefs and what are my best options.

So basically I need to build more quality backlinks to my T1 links and send them to indexing services (for example SpeedyIndex) and just hope for the best?
My main objective now is to gain more referring domains to my website to show up on these SEO tools such as Ahrefs and Semrush. Is it possible to do with just GSA SER?
For now I am just trying to boost my site quick with as minimal budget as possible.
Would it be a good play to build .gov, .edu and some niche relevant links trough GSA and then getting indexing services to index them?
Agreed both of you.
doing niche targeted link building with SER is wasting time and money. Plus i personally hate serlib with too much restrictions (thread limits etc) instead i still use default GSA engines mostly on tier 2. But i still use good link lists with only articies for tier 1. Anyway thats me. ranker x sites seems to be get indexed faster than serlib.
Oh, noticing your links aren't popping up in Ahrefs, huh? Let's unpack that a bit, keeping it chill and straightforward. Think of Ahrefs as one tool in the big SEO toolbox—it's handy, but it doesn't have the mega reach or the super-fast update speed of Google. Here's the lowdown on why your links might be playing hide and seek in Ahrefs:
Tiny Database vs. Google's Gigantic One: Imagine Ahrefs and Google's databases in a size contest—Google's is like an ocean, and Ahrefs'? More like a lake. It's vast, sure, but can't hold every single link Google can.
Crawl Speed: If Ahrefs were a car, it'd be cruising the streets less often than Google's racecar. That means it's naturally going to spot new stuff at a slower pace.
The No-follow Sneak: If a link says "no-follow," it's like it's telling Ahrefs, "Maybe don't count me in?" But it's not about them being less important; they just play a different game.
Low Authority Links: Ahrefs tends to spotlight the links from the cool and popular sites. So, if a link comes from a site that's not the talk of the town, it might not get the Ahrefs spotlight.
Technical Hurdles: Think of this as doors that are sometimes hard to open—like tricky scripts or pages that don't link to each other. It can keep Ahrefs from seeing everything clearly.
Crawl Budget: Imagine Ahrefs has a limited amount of energy to check out sites. It's gotta pick and choose, so it might not catch every nook and cranny of larger sites.
The Case of the Missing Links: Sometimes links vanish or change by the time Ahrefs comes back for a visit. So, it's like chasing shadows from its last trip.
Now, Here's the Real Talk:
Don't sweat it too much if Ahrefs isn't showing all your links. What you really want to eye is how you're doing on Google. After all, that's where the party is. Here's how to keep tabs on the real deal:
Google Search Console: This is your backstage pass to see how you're doing on Google. It's straight from the horse's mouth, showing you which links are pointing your way and how you're showing up in search.
Google Analytics: While it's not dishing the dirt on links directly, it tells you who's coming to your site and how. It's like tracking footprints back to your door, showing the impact of those links.
So, yeah, Ahrefs is cool for some insights and keeping an eye on the competition. But when it comes to knowing how you stand with the big G (Google), that's where you want to focus your energy. Google's tools are like your SEO BFFs—always there with the real scoop. Keep it light, and keep aiming for Google's good books. That's where the real action is!
