So I've been running a shitty site for a while and I didn't really look at it. Mentioned the link a few times in blog comments.. All of the sudden it has 178 backlinks according to Google webmaster help thingy (no idea what the english term is) Any ideas what the hell happened? I got a shitload of links from a website I haven't even SEEN in my whole life..
Yes it means wht your webiste link was mentioned in that websites. To know where exactly click on link in webmaster tools (where showed counts) to see where your links are.
The thing is, I cant find my darn link anywhere! Its a shitty site btw: www.alwaysmoney.nl Kind of an adsense arbitrage site
I can only see 21 according to yahoo siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/uk/siteexplorer/search?p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.alwaysmoney.nl&bwm=i&bwmf=u&bwms=p&fr=yfp-t-702&fr2=seo-rd-se Google webmaster should list the link shouldn't they?
Nope no self promotion. Ill make a screenshot as soon as I get my hands on a computer (using phone now) about the backlinks that yahoo gives.. Is it possible that there are that many SITES linking instead of actual backlinks? The links are coming from some blog about video gear.. Doesnt make sense to me thats for sure,.
Maybe a majority of those backlinks came from a site that has a recent comments that gives a backlink. Usually these last more than a few days even after your comment is no longer displayed there. Also, you guys should keep in mind that he may or may not have used www when he checked his. As posted gives me 101 https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/search?p=www.alwaysmoney.nl&bwm=i&bwmo=&bwmf=s Without the www. (like I suggested) you see there are 214 backlinks. https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/search?p=http://alwaysmoney.nl&bwm=i&bwmo=&bwmf=s The counts differ.
Perhaps the website did not think your site as bad as you so they decided it would be helpful to their visitors if they offered a link to it.
You are right Italian hawk. The question itself is not clear. Let me rephrase the question. The questioner is asking that he has got 200+ links while he didn't even attempt to do so. He is wondering why he is seeing these many links. Am i right? There are quite a lot of reasons. Predominantly your links are from enthousiasmeren.nl and DP. While the former could have copied some contents from blogs that you have commented on. Some time what happens is you comment in one portion of the website and it will be carried away to all the part of website by content plugins. There are many plugins giving link for recent commenters and top commenters. I have verified in the source of enthousiasmeren.nl and I am confirming that they do not have your links any more in their website. As I said earlier this may be due to content aggregators. You donot have to worry about this. In next crawl everything would fade away. Take care...
