I've signed up with plenty of reciprocal link partners, quite a few smaller directories, and I'm registered in DMOZ, but Google still won't pick up backlinks for my site.. Typing in ResearchTechs gets plenty of results in Google, including a number of my sites, but typing in link:www.researchtechs.com yields nothing. Not sure where to aim from here, any advice would be welcome.
Perhaps you have no backlinks listed with them? Here is what I see: www.researchtechs.com Total 54 Alltheweb 12 AltaVista 14 Google/AOL 0 HotBot 6 MSN 5 Yahoo 17 I'd give it some time.
What does it mean to be listed with them? Having the pages that link to me indexed? Oh, and I didn't realize I had posted this in the "AdSense" thread, if a moderator could move it, I'd appreciate it. Sorry about that.
Google is slow to recognize the backlinks, but you can notice results of the backlinks in your SERP rankings before the link:example.com will report the backlinks. Not sure the reason for the delay.
