If my url is posted on 6 or 7 sites as a link in various areas, how come when I do a backlink check with a url such http://www.iwebtool.com/backlink_checker it says i have 0 backlinks?
search engines only show new backlinks once they have updated, google does this every 3 months or so.
Lolz, their service is down IMHO. Its been this way for months now - in fact, I believe it was this way since the last PR update. Just try searching for backlinks for google.com. It returns 0 backlinks! :0 Now whoever's heard of G not having backlinks? Might have been about 10 years ago! And, just submitting it to about 7-8 directories won't help - if you probably submit it to about a 100, you'd be lucky to have G notice a couple of 'em!
I all depends on when the SEs index the sites that have your link on. I may be wrong but I've read somewhere the iwebtool uses yahoo site explorer.
are you sure that iwebtool is showing the correct numbers? in my experience, any of the iwebtool tools are showing correct values
