Backlinks not showing in Google

Beloved DP members,

Can anyone tell me why, when i check the backlinks of my site, yahoo does give results, and google doesn't?

A good example is the backlinks yahoo show on my DP posts...i've not been a DP member for long, so maybe this is e very noobish question, but i appreciate any comments on this query.

i check my backlinks by typing link:www.royalflushed.net in both yahoo and google search, this is the right way, ain' it?

did google punish me ???

Thanks,

Royal

 

Try adding a space like this.

For some reason Google reports a different amount of links whether you use a space before the url or not. You may not have enough quality links to show up when you exclude the space.

 

Nice tip vansterdam. Google link count for one of my sites went from 5 to 200+ when I applied your tip

Is there a website/tool that allows you to see the URLs that the links to point to (example.com, example.com/page1, example.com/page2, etc.). It's a bit tiresome to this manually, so I'm sure there exist such a tool somewhere out there...

Thanks, Mads

 

Allowing a space between the "link:" qualifier and your domain name will bring up 'textual domain' links. If you look closely at some of these links, some of them are scripted links with your url as a parameter. Other links are nofollow, as well. None of them are inside the href attribute of the anchor, in other words.

 

Wow. I never knew about that space trick, that was very helpful. Without the space I get 0 Links, but with I'm getting over 100.

 

They aren't backlinks. Look again.

 

if you put spaces they aren't backlinks it just shows sites with your sites name

 

I use google analytics to show backlink to my pages.

 

yes you can try google analytics, that shows all back links!

 

How about the external links on Google Webmaster Tool. I think it show the exact amounts of backlinks to your site.

 

And I agree with Dodger, what tricks suggested by vansterdam, is not showing backlinks. It shows all the text showing the site name, even without any link on it.

 

Thank you. I did not know this trick.

 

Thanks for all the info, i appreciate that!

i found the backlinks section in the Google Webmaster tool, i couldn't find it in Google Analytics tough? The webmaster tool also show "text" and not only links so i don't know what to think of that.

About the "space", according to google, searching with a "space" between "link: " and domain isn't any good :

Google Help on this :

====================================
How can I see links to my site?
You can perform a Google search using the link: operator to find a sampling of links to any site. For instance, [link:www.google.com] will list web pages that have links pointing to the Google home page. Note there can be no space between the "link:" and the web page URL.

well its ture the real google approved backlinks are appearing using link operator as general not edited otherwise it give worthless results which is not 100% google approved.

 

NO. google webmaster tools give out backlinks not analytics.

 

Maybe google ignore unimportant links. maybe google doesn't provide the services again .
