Half a million backlinks in 1 month

Discussion in 'Blogging' started by Mkcoy, May 22, 2009.

    Hi. I noticed the other day when checking my Alexa rank that my blog has almost half a million incoming links. Yet the blog itself has only been going for about a month or so.

    I checked the rank of one of my other blogs that is well over a year old and it only has 8 incoming links apparantly. Even though when checked with a back link checker tool it's much more.

    Anyway. I have been working on getting backlinks. At least a couple a day. Submitting it to places and commenting on other sites etc and writing reports and forums and submitting my rss etc. However that's quite a lot of incoming links to have made in just over a month don't you think?

    How you think I've done it?

    I think its because your using a sub domain and all links are actually referring to blogspot.com

    That's what I thought at first. But I've checked the Alexa rank of mine and other blogs and none of them have it that many incoming links to it. Only that one blog of mine.
    Also I think that blogspot.com would have more than 500k links going into it than that.
    It really baffles me.

    No, it can't be, noone can make this much backlinks in a month without using a software. May be you have runned a software for creating backlinks. There are so many software like X-rumer, that can create a lot of links daily, but google can deindexed your site.

    Alexa is spyware and is not reliable.

    A search of google using the link: command shows 10 sites links to your blog.

    Alexa is spyware??
    Alexa itself isnt spyware

    But this still doesn't answer me why this is only like it for 1 of my blogs and not the others that are in the blogger.com sub domain.

    Who cares? Alexa is junk. All that matters is REAL traffic followed by CONVERSIONS...

    According to yahoo you have about 150 in links to your blog.

    Alexa is not as reliable as most people think. Maybe you should concentrate on building more incoming links ?

    @ internetmarketingiq true but this is a discussion on the matter so that we can learn these things. Knowledge is power my friend.

    Anyway ok here is what I have learned.

    The reason why it's different for my other blogs.
    get-cash-back-online.blogspot.com - Traffic Details from Alexa = 430,891 Sites Linking In

    makerealfreemoney.blogspot.com - Traffic Details from Alexa = 8 Sites Linking In

    But this is why.
    Alexa doesn't really keep track of backlinks to subdomains.

    Quote ishan at bloggeries.com
    So. I will put this to the test in the coming days/weeks to see if Alexa still reports 500k backlinks.
