Backlink Update 20070614

Just got a Google Alerts saying backlinks have been updated. Anyone else seeing it?

-Michael

 

Where did you get the alert from?

Thanks Brian

 

which datacenters do you mean? can you give more detaisl pls?

 

Yea - I second that ?

Who alerted you ?

Seeing no changes here......

 

Google Alerts:

http://www.google.com/alerts

You set it up to tell you when the top 10 results for a certain query change, and it emails you as it happens. I have it set up to tell me when [link:www.mysite.com] changes.

That's cool Thanks

 

i cant see it

 

lol, it's great tip. i have created one for me

 

The backlinks has changed for my new sites but for the old ones there is no change.

 

YEP!
I'm seeing about 35 more links via LINK:SITE.COM..

 

Ok, it actually seems to be changing from one run to the next, but I do see diff results on diff dc's at diff times:

​

The one with the question mark (?) is a dead dc at this time.

However, when I go to the dc's directly, it can change from one refresh to the next. Try running the link command on here, for example:

http://64.233.161.104/

Hit refresh 10-15 times, see if the value changes for you.

It looks like it might actually be a bug... I just got this for Google.com itself:

Results 1 - 100 of about 1,600,000 linking to www.google.com. (1.29 seconds)
which looks like it might be right, and then:
Results 1 - 100 of about 970 linking to www.google.com. (1.31 seconds)

Which isn't right at all.

Oh, and this has got to be WAY wrong!

Results 1 - 75 of 75 linking to www.yahoo.com. (1.99 seconds)

​

So, heh, can a mod pls change the title of this to "Backlink Bug" instead of update please? Thanks

my back links on ayhu.com went up about 10 times.

Looks like they did the update.

 

How do you do that, set it for http://www.google.com/search?q=exam...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

?

 

Just type [example keywords] in the search term box. By default it will check all search types (web, news, blogs, groups), so if you're just checking rankings, you should change it to "web".

-Michael

 

Do you have to use www? For example when I check "link:yahoo.com" it says: Your search - link:yahoo.com - did not match any documents.

Also it says the same for my site whether or not I use www. But Yahoo site explorer shows more than 50. Does it mean Google didn't count any of the backlinks to my site or it hasn't crawled it in a long time? Thanks. Need some help here.

 

google will not show ALL your backlinks.. for more backlink data from Google, check out their WebMaster Tools..

 

It also depends on when your site went live. How old is it?

-Michael

 

Hey, this is a great idea. Thanks for the information. Found any other alerts to set up that are helpful???

 

Well... if you're someone who is prone to committing felonies, I always find that... I mean someone like that might find it useful to set up a Google News Alert for their own name.

Woo Frickin Who!!!!
I just checked my backlinks on Google's Webmaster tools. I'm up to 1524 from 26.

Looks like a BL update. Use webmaster tools if unsure
