Backlinks check not working

Discussion in 'Keyword Tracker' started by stevenb7, Aug 3, 2011.

    When I add a new URL to the 'Backlink Tracking' section the site shows that it was last checked 'Dec 31st 1969'. Normally I could click the link to have it checked but the result stays 'Dec 31st 1969'.

    Also old URLs which I have been tracking backlinks on for years show the last time they were checked and I can't get that to update to Today.

    Thanks,
    Steven

    Hmmm... seems to be working hen I test it.  Can you double check your Google API key is correct in your settings?

    not working for me either.. i just updated the script and the API

    it would seem that the back link check is not being run. i ran the script today (04 Aug) keywords updated but the back links didn't

    last check for google 16 july
    last check for yahoo 20 july

    keyword checker is working fine.

    Do you get an error if you click on one of the backlink lines manually?

    Well, without the actual URL (exactly copy/paste), there's not a lot I can do to check it...

    Hmmmm... that's really strange. Not sure I can do much to troubleshoot it though since whatever it is seems to be specific to the server you have the PHP script on (I can't replicate on a bunch of different servers I tried).

    I've had the identical problem since July (posted in another thread from the time), but despite DP's help, it's still stuck. Keywords OK. Using asmallorange shared server.

    Same problem for me since I updated the script and API.

    Keywords are being checked, but none of the backlinks.

    I have the same issue. keywords work just fine. backlinks don't. I'm well below the API limit ( 39 ). One thing I did was get the exact url hit from the access logs and paste it into the browser. This is what I get :

    a:3:{s:7:"results";s:4:"9999";s:5:"error";s:11:"Bad Request";s:5:"total";N;}

    I have php5.3 , curl with ssl.

    Any pointers ?

    If someone can give me the exact URL they are trying to check links for, I could check it...

    Shawn, when it checks it goes through the backlink countdown very fast and then starts counting down the kwp. When I click on them it gives no error, but doesn't update them either.

    This goes for Google and both yahoo backlink checks.
