I have noticed that when I check my backlinks in yahoo that there are MANY more links listed (almost 10 Times more) than in webmaster tools. Why the huge difference?
because they have different algorithm and approach when it comes to showing backlinks... i believe google show backlinks that they believe quality..
I thing Google de indexing the links from internal pages... some time Google not reading deep pages so those links are ignoring
Answer is no. The tool might show you backlinks from site that are indexed in Google but I find the tool to be unreliable.
Google do not show all the backlinks. But yahoo shows all the backlinks and many of them are nofollow backlinks. I think google only shows high quality backlinks.
You are rite, google webmaster links are not reliable, its not always high quality, This tool is just like a pinging tool, which google uses to update its database, nothing else in consideration!
The Big G has its own algorithm of showing backlinks in their own search engine. Yes they do check for high quality backlinks which really comes handy.
Really? How do you explain the nofollow links that they show? How do you explain the Matt Cutts video explaining why they show nofollow links????
