I am just wondering what the difference between Google backlinks and other backlinks. The reason I as is 1) I have 700 backlinks in yahoo and 3 in Google 2) I paid for a directory submission service which I know what completed because I checked. Yet it shows no backlinks.
yahoo crawls faster and more pages, google crawls a bit late, so it might take some time till it shows in google i hope you wont get into sandbox for having too many backlinks in a short time
they thing is , this one site i talked about with 700 yahoo backlinks, I have never even directory submitted , ever. I don't know where they came from or where my page rank came from.
Google only update their backlinks at the same time as the PageRank export (eg. 3 or 4 times per year). Yahoo and MSN add backlinks to their database on a much more regular basis.
The difference is that google backlinks are useful for SEO in google, because google counts them(google doesnt count those links which dont have any PR in google and it is the same thing for msn and yahoo...if you want do seo for google you need googles backlings, which would be indexed by google not somewhere else) did I answer your question?
How long have you had this site? Some sites/ directories have to link to your sites for you to get backlinks. In any case it's a good sign that many are linking to you.
Always check your backlinks with Yahoo. Google only updates their backlink index once every few months..
