Now i check my link popularity and see that i dont have backlinks form google, from msn 381 and yahoo 29! I submit my site in over 300 directories. Can you tell me the reason?Thanks! I use iwebtool link_popularity P.S. my site is pitbull-apbt.com Thanks.
Google filters it's backlinks and only updates them every few months.. Don't worry they're there - Google just isnt letting you see the count .. yet..
Google will never show all of your incoming links. If you want to check your real link popularity then goto Yahoo would be better. Google will show the count after 3-4 months passed, almost the same time when they updated PR.
" Google updates its index data, including backlinks and PageRank, continually and continuously. We only export new backlinks, PageRank, or directory data every three months or so though. " http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/whats-an-update/
I've had the same problem. Google always seems slower in updating then any of the other search engines, so yeah, it's nothing to worry about.
you can use other tools online.. but i didnt said that iwebtool is not accurate.. just try and compare..
Search in google like Link: www.yourdomain.com, and then you will get some results, though still much less than yahoo and msn.
As what has been mentioned by the above members, Google does not show all your backlinks and they only update the index every few months.. I have used the Yahoo Backlink Analyzer and it also returns 29 links for your site
OK thanks guys! But is it true if google not show me my backlinks, my site not give up to better positon within update?
Google will SEE the backlinks, so they will count towards your rankings. The PR update is only what you see in the toolbar. For rankings the backlinks are continuously updated. Anyhow, it's not the amount of links that counts, but the quality of them.
