Thanks for all the input so far. Interesting experiment... Banless, are you linking from a high ranking site? & you are confident any links from this specific site will show up? Please keep us updated. By the way how do you access "Google Webmasters"?
Its actually called google Sitemapes but I refer to it as google webmsters center as well. It is at google.com/sitemaps - Any Google account will work
I think the back links that google shows are just partial and random. I don't think they have a criteria for it.
I will be sure to keep you guys posted on this. And yes I am confident that this link will show. I have already gone through this with another dp member before and I came out top. Although he did pay me to get 10 links for him and all of them showed up in the google backlinks command.
I followed my backlinks from google and I am sure that the order is random. Big G knows all our backlinks and show them randomly.Maybe I am wrong but this is what I saw. Have a good day.
It is a pretty accepted fact. I have seen it with sites whos LINKS command show a bunch of low quality links and some show a bunch of high quality links and some show a bunch of high quality and low quality links so it has to be a random thing.
It will be good if we can figure it out as it's good in checking backlinks of competitors and also helps know which kind of backlinks google rates the highest.
