After last night's update I thought I'd do some searching for UK One Directory today and one of those was checking for backlinks. Anyway, to our surprise, and I must admit this was totally unexpected we found that backlinks registered to our site with Google are at a great high of 4620 backlinks. Just thought I'd announce that as we stopped searching for these things a little while back!
I certainly thought so. Just hope there are some PR changes to follow. Had some internal PR changes, but not homepage as yet.
use google webmaster tools and yahoo site explorer. on this thread i am on about the link: operator on google (link:wwwmysite.com)
our site also has a back link increase but im not sure for how long it will be there, highly unlikely google lolzzz must be some kinda mistake by them
6 months ago, one of my sites had about 90 links listed. In the last PR update at the end of 2007 - it went up to 700. Just checked now after seeing this thread, and its showing just under 3000 !!! PR has remained the same though so far. Alex
From what we can tell the backlinks that updated were noted prior to 12/15 which goes along with what others have said...there's quite a lag.
mine went from 350 to 950 and another one went from 170 to 510 but still got the same PR. I think the pr update is not complete.
in my webmaster tool one of my site has 1800+ but in Yahoo in has 5000+, they really have different tracking tool.
Of course. Google and Yahoo are totally different in that respect. Many websites out there that register for a few thousand backlinks in Google could well register a couple hundred thousand in Yahoo!
Yep, my websites have a lot more backlinks in yahoo than in google. Mine have risen from 50/70 to 950.
