I have checked my number of backlinks on various free online backlink checkers the results change frown one back link checker to another. Why is inconstant?
why not just check with google ?? link:site.com or yahoo for all backlinks linkdomain:site.com no need for web apps
Also, it is normal to have a variation of results from Yahoo to Google. Google is shy at showing all backlinks it as found.
well I guess i have to agree with you at this point... yahoo shows a good number of backlinks... but goolge is a bit shy i guess
Maybe I should clarify my question. I have checked backlinks on several links for my site. They results are all different but like others on this thread have said Google is shy about this. The highest number of links for my site in regard to Google is 58 but when I checked the backlink checker on http://www.submitedge.com/pr.html I had between 1000 and 2000 backlinks. The site mentioned above tries to sell links to directories so it would seem like if this is not real they would show a low link popularity there for it might be accurate. On the other hand the other backlink checker sites have my site with much much lower for noodle. What is going on?
Each will be different, but if you stick to one (or a few) and compare your stats now to your stats on the same site a week from now, you can gauge your link building efforts.
