My backlinks were updated, as well! Finally! (How in the heck did you get 7200 backlinks?!? Must be nice, lol) DS
There are two reasons for my big increase. 1. I have a weight of 144000 in the Coop Ad-network 2. I gave myself a sitewide from my other site which has about half a million pages indexed On top of this I have the only link, inbound or out, from a very strong PR7 page, so if my site is still at PR5 after the next PR-update, I'm officially giving up! Seriously.
I've just been checking out some of the things that other people are trying out. There is one network of sites that I am betting is giving someone a hell of a lot of weight.
Are thats why. one question whats the Coop Ad-network and how does it work. I have 2 PR7 links I purchase recently and have a PR5 so fingers crossed. I have tried to setup the digital point ad network but could not get it to work.
The Coop Ad-network is the same as DigitalPoint's that you mentioned you tried. It is worth joining for sure!
I just don't understand how Google determines links. Our sites have over 1,000 actual links, most relative and no link farm, but Google shows about 10% of that number. After yesterday's update, it is showing even FEWER Links?? Go figure?? I must be doing something wrong.
Exactly. So the actual backlink data is totally useless. If I was a statistical engineer I would not even consider the information that the link command provides.
hehe well said TOPS Although I must admit I still monitor what the backlinks tell me for each site I have.
Euhhh.. I do to. But only because it's in the KWT and it is a way of gauging how you're doing. I should have said serious attention perhaps.
Yes, the backlink number is an interesting relative indicator - but, frankly, for ranking purposes it's always been pretty useless. I've had sites vary between 100 and 1,500 backlinks in the link: command, without impacting rankings - and that's before Google changed the level of the bar this June.
