Hey, I just checked my backlinks here: http://www.xinureturns.com/ and was told that I have 6 indexed pages in google and none in Yahoo. Also I have 0 backlinks in googl and 1,059 in yahoo! How is this possible? and how do I get backlinks in Google?
Hi, I have just 6 backlinks in google and I lost backlinks in google from DMOZ, yahoo, etc... I think it's bad look. I hope google will update soon.
Where do people get all there misinformation from! Google update backlinks internally on a daily basis and factor those backlinks into the search results everyday. THEY UPDATE BACKLINKS DAILY. From time to time thay export for the link: operator to display a small random sample of all the links they know about and use for us to be amused with. ITS A MEANINGLESS SMALL RANDOM SAMPLE - its NOT an update when they change what is in that sample! If there is a link to your site that is on a page that is indexed in Google, then assume its being counted. If it not in the small random sample that Google show, then it means NOTHING!
I think the consensus among professional SEO's is that Google is much quicker as finding and incorporating links than Yahoo is ... Google just choose not to display them all for us to see.
Wrong. PR and backlinks are updated daily internaly. They only export a historical snapshot of that PR to the toolbar occasionally for us to be amused at. Being patient won't help, as the links would have already been factored in.
Google only updates backlinks a few times a year, check webmaster tools to see a better representation of your backlinks. Yahoo takes longer to index things as well, at that many backlinks without indexing they must be pretty low quality links.
I do have some problem. I do only have 100++ backlink in google but more then 3000 backlink in yahoo. I'm increasing my google index by submiting my article to social bookmark such as digg
You still won't necessarily see them all - Google say "The Pages with external links table provides a sampling of the pages on your site that have links to them from other pages on the web....Note: While the External links page provides a larger sampling of links to your site, not all links to your site may be listed. This is normal." http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=55281&hl=en
Just give it some time and you will get the links updated but in the Google Webmaster Tools, Yahoo is faster than Google by listings all the links pointing to your website while Google trying to keep only quality links and only in the WMT !
