Hey guys, Here's my issue: On Google Webmaster tools there are 9 external-links to my website. However, when I type in the normal Google search. link:www.globalyogi.com I receive ZERO links...... How is that possible? Would really appreciate if you can help me cause I believe it is damaging my SEO... Address of my website is: http://www.globalyogi.com
It is happening sometimes. I have the same problem but I think google is always late to update your listing...
Google doesn't show all your links when you type link: your site. (or all of anyone else's). The list in webmaster tools is correct.
if the site didn't make it after the recent Backlinks Update, then you have to wait for several months for another update before your backlinks appear. Google doesn't really show all your backlinks coz it's like a protection for your site against your competitors that may use it to manipulate rankings.
Not all links will be displayed by google. Only the quality links are displayed and google update only backlinks before the PR update.
