page rank & backlinks

I've had a site now that has been up and running for over 7 to 8 months now but the page rank is still zero and google still says we have no backlinks yet I have a lot of affiliates with PR's between 3 and 6. I was just wondering how long does it take for google to recognize these backlinks and update the pr of a site? I'm asking because I have over 1300 backlinks recognized by yahoo but none by google?

 

Create an account at http://www.google.com/webmasters you can view all your Google backlinks in the external links section. As for Pagerank it takes time before the "visible" Pagerank changes, usually quarterly.

 

thanks i already have an account there it says i only have 28 backlinks...i wonder why yahoo has so many more?

 

Well Google shosw only 1% of the backlinks + updates them 3-5 months

About PR don't stress with it it's olmost worthless ....

 

oh ok I did not know that thanks for the information guys.

 

I believe they show all the current backlinks their crawler found since they last updated that information in Webmasters Central. Are you referring to the "link:" operator?

 

It works fine for me... try again, or contact google about it

 

well in the webmasters login thing it says their are 28 external links

but if i go to link:www.nameofsite.com it doesn't show any links.

 

Google webmaster list 168 on mine.

I use this and it shows 1600 odd:

use yahoo....they seem to update it alot.

make sure that the links that have your site doesnt have a 'nofollow' tag

 

what was the site?

 

yahoo seems to be updating links every other day.

just use the link command on the yahoo search engine

 

don't stress with it it's olmost worthless

 

You should have higher SERP ranking that's the goal of SEO, not to get higher PR.
Google will check how much that link is relative to your website, the link you are making might be having nofollow.
Yahoo supports nofollow, but Google does not.

 

It takes some time to detect.
Links from irrelevant sites have a negative effect.

 

Hello,
If you get traffic (the most important) don't worry about Page Rank

Best

 

this is the word what i want to say

 

It should be updated by the next page rank. A few sites went without an update in the last page rank Q3 for 2007. Should be updated by March/April.

 

Google values links only from quality sources for quality keywords. Differ your keywords while promoting your site, and use a diversified network to get links. Dont just rely on the affiliates.
