0 internal and external links according to google webmaster tools .. Please help

today I hve checked my website with google webmaster tools and my site which is having 1318 baclinks according to yahoo has 0 internal nad external links :O, pls help

 

can you post the URL of your website?

 

This usually happens when, for example, all of the links on your site are http://example.com/* but you verify your site as http://www.example.com/. OR sometimes if it's a brand new site that was just indexed in the last few days, nothing may show up for a week or two. WMT is not updated real time. It's done in batch once ever few days, once a week, once every few weeks... depending on the screen. It's kind of random.

If you verified it as the www then also verify as non-www (or visa versa)... It doesn't require any additional verification files or meta tags as long as the DNS for the www and non-www are pointing to the same web. Just log into WMT and at Dashboard do a ADD SITE. Then click Verifiy next to the new one you just added.

 

Multiple reasons why this might happen.

1. Site is really new - give it some time.
2. Preferred domain issue. Set your preferred domain in webmaster tools (www or non-www) and also use redirect to get correct traffic stats.

 

Depending on how old the two sites are, how old the link itself is, how often google does a deep crawl of the linking site - I have seen links appear anywhere from 2 weeks - 8 weeks after being posted.

And then, I have seen some links never show up in google webmaster tools. Either the site is so poorly designed that google can not index all of it, the site is not submitting a site map, the site is banned from google,,,, for what ever reason. I have posted links on some sites, and even 2 years later google has not indexed them.

Just because you post a link does not mean with 100% certainty that google "will" find it.

 

This is perfectly normal; all of my sites have far more backlinks according to yahoo as oppose to google.
