I have a site which had alot of backlinks in google, but now i tried link:http:// .... and only 1 link showed up.. While in yahoo it shows thousands... How come this kind of things happen ? Its not like those were crappy backlinks, most were paid links on reputable sites. Anyone got ideas?
No real accurate ideas as G is ....................like that ................its frustrating but it happens Keep working away on your site new content often etc and it will get links.........post articles etc etc
I have a blog hosted on BlogSpot which shows 1 link using Google link:http:// ... However, the blog is PR5 since 4 months ago. Yahoo on the other hand shows 140+ links. I suspect that Google is hiding the backlinks from webmasters' eyes but has used them in PR calculation...
ok Its also strange that my PR is not increasing, i have alot of new backlinks in the last 2 months...
If I understand correctly , PR update is done once in a while , not all the time . I think break.com is a good example , so is oozm . Both these sites have 0-1 PR now , and will get PR6+ in the next update ...
google dont show all results when u type site in google more over, if u whant to check backlinks dont use http, it will then show more backlinks
So you have lots of backlinks increase in last 2 months ... So when G will update PR at that time it will increase.... yet G has not update the PR so wait & watch...... Keep link building....fresh quality content on site.
Google cleared a lot of old/broken backlinks during their last update and lots of sites dropped in their backlinks. Many supplemental links were also removed. Maybe your site also dropped in backlinks then and you are noticing it now?
