Some reason google refuses to get my site's back links into their page. Yahoo has me with several hundred backlinks. As does msn and etc. But Gogle just will not add my backlinks. Why is this?
Depending on how long your site has been listed, links in place, Google datacenter, etc. it may just be a matter of timing. Also, are you checking links with the link:... command or via Google's Webmaster tools? Google doesn't normally show nearly as many links as the other search engines. There are plenty of posts here on DP discussing this in more detail.
North Carolina SEO is right google does not show as many links as other search engines. There are many links that has been denounced by google but they will show up in other search engines. You should try to consistently build quality backlinks and your links will show up in google in due time.
NC SEO is correct. I find that the Google link:_____ command shows only a tiny fraction of the links. The much larger number shown in Google Webmaster Tools, in my experience, is generally about half the number shown in Yahoo Site Explorer.
To give an idea of what I've seen.... one particular site I have shows ~4500 backlinks in yahoo, 450 in the google webmaster tool section and about 43 or so in the link: search at google. From what I've seen google discounts a LOT of the directory links that yahoo seems to count at face value. I'm not sure what their logic is with narrowing it down to ~10% of the links they "know" about in webmaster tools. (Maybe the higher quality links? Maybe just a sampling based on some other criteria?)
You should check your back links in webmaster tools, as link command of Google does not show all back links to your site, That does not mean that other links are not important for your website. Those links are also being counted Google.
Google does not show all links when you check your site links via link:sitename.com If you want to see all of your links, Use Google webmaster tool
even though my site has 800 links on google and 8000 on yahoo, it doesn't show any in the webmaster tools. any reasons why? its been like that for months.
