Link:www.yourwebsite.com (why does this not work?)

Why does this not work when you want to see your in links in google. I only have one showing up in google but 115 in yahoo. I have checked sites that have been around for a long time and don't show very many either when I know they have thousands.

Can someone explain this to me

 

Hi

The link: command always shows a small snippet of links pointing back to a domain.

If you need to see all the backlinks that google has counted towards your domain, setup a google webmaster account.

 

Google stopped showing all the links to a domain via the link: command two or three years ago. even if you set up a Google Webmaster account you are unlikely to see as many links as Yahoo will return via link:

 

noticed the problem too.

even yahoo does not show all backlinks

 

The best thing I have found is to just see how many back links you have. In reality if that goes up you are doing something good.

 

How do you see that though? I thought that was how.

 

link: shows only dofollow links that are already indexed (and does show only few as this tool doesn't work correctly).

 

some told me G does not list 0 traffic backlinks?

is it correct?

 

I got 96 result linking to www.yourwebsite.com , i think it's work?

 

WRONG!

Currently, my Google Webmaster Tools account shows 1,805 External Links.

Yahoo Site Explorer counts 6,500+ links, but only shows 1,000.


Therefore, you are likely to see MORE links at GWT.

However, Yahoo will COUNT more links. (But what good are they if you cannot see them?)

 

Lately, Google has been counting and showing more backlinks than Yahoo for me. Very bizarre.

 

i too have the same doubts, is this a mistake or these are my real backlinks.

 

have submitted my site to google and added sitemap too but there is o inlinks in google . can an one help me how to index my site to google quickly
