How does this site receive credit for 8,110 inbound links???

Discussion in 'Websites' started by trend, Aug 29, 2005.

    I was looking over my friends webpage the last couple days:
    http://edited-out.com


    They have a PR7 and 8110 inbound links.

    link:http://edited-out.com

    When I check out their inbound links.. only the first inbound link actually refers to them! The rest have no such hyperlink (http://weblog.edventure.com) in the pages source code.

    The inbound links do not even refer to http://edited-out.com, how is this so?

    What does this mean?

    (If anyone would like to see the website that is doing this, please PM me)

    Crap.. I ment to post this in the google forum.. (How can I delete this msg?)

    Yes, I have clicked on a dozen or so of the 'inbound' links.. and then view source, and then I would search for the URL to my friends site.. and there wouldn't be such a link...

    Why would you want to post it in the Google forum? It doesn't have anything to do with Google.

    I think you ment this..

    I am using the
    link:website

    feature of google...

    Yes, I know that google 'broke' this feature last year.. (I am not exacully sure what that means.. because EVERY other website I use the link: on w/google, I can see their inbound links, and I can find an URL to the org HTML from the inbound link)


    any ideas?

    Wtf CrazyRob.. why? You wasted my life CR..

    the only thing I can think of is that maybe it has something to do with the RSS feeds all of them websites have, maybe?

    Well, it isn't an RSS feed (I don't think), because none of the 8110 inbound links are inbound when I search using yahoo.

    I asked him to wait until he had 10 posts before he asked for a webiste review.

    Why would you have a problem w/ that soapbath? :confused:

    trend, you can get better links information (more complete) by checking them on Yahoo!
