I have hundreds of yahoo backlinks but no google backlinks. Why is that? Am I being penalized by googe? The site is http://www.yetifreestuff.com. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Frank
Google backlinks can only be properly checked by Google webmasters tool. You may also try building more backlinks.
it is better if you place a link and not all the whole URL of your site. I agree with priyakochin, Use Google webmasters tool!
your site is still indexed in GOOGLE. Use "site:www.yetifreestuff.com" to check it yourself^^. And firstly, Yahoo takes into account all back links no matter they are do-follow or no-dofollow. But Google only counts dofollow links. So usually the links showed in Yahoo will usually much more than those showed in Google. Secondly, you need to check the exact figure of your back links by using Google Webmaster Tool. E.G, one of my sites has about 1000 back links, but when I input link:xxxx in google, no data shows up. This is the link http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools
Always see Google Webmaster Tools to check your overall site popularity , and other similar thing related to google, dont trust on " Link: " results
How long have you been working on building links for your site. Usually google update every 3 months while yahoo display backlinks quickly as long as they see your backlinks.
link:www.domainname.com shows backlinks of a site so if google dont display any backlink for your site in next google update backlinks will be shown bcoz google dont show all backlinks.
I have seen the same problem in one of my friend's websites. There are lots of backlinks on yahoo but have zero backlinks on google. Maybe the best thing that you can do is to submit a site map to google, use google webmaster tools and continue to build more links.
Like the "next PR update" thread, threads like this should be banned. There are several similar threads over the last day or two. Google only ever show a small random sample of all the links they know about and use. Sometimes that sample has nothing in it. It means nothing. It is not a problem. Google incorporate links into the PR and ranking formulas everyday. Just because a link is not in the small random sample does not mean its not being counted. They update the links daily. The so-called "backlink update" that keeps getting referred to here at DP (but not very often elsewhere), is NOT an update; Google every now and then changes the composition and number of sites in its random sample - it means nothing.
to know you backlinks just sign up for google webmaster. You can find current backlinks and other things.
Google considered those links as back links which is not having nofollow attribute, although shows quality links, but you can find out other links in Webmaster tools. While yahoo shows each and every back links pointing to your website, it does not matter with any attribute associated with the link.
In link:sitename.com google search shows a fraction of the links but u can use Google webmasters tool to see actual links. Also google is lazy to update new links.
It happens with some websites, but dont worry about it i will get you baclinks in google. please contact me at - texasddc at gmail dot com.
