Hello, I used this tool to check link pop of a friends page: http://www.iwebtool.com/link_popularity I noticed that it said to have 0 backlinks on google. However, I have seen many occasions where my friends link has shown up on google. Any ideas? Thanks
Monty: No, they didn't. But I'm not sure why they don't for that either, when I can find the page there while doing a search. Does anyone know of anyway to resolve this issue? Thanks
Using a backlink checker, google will show few to none, though they are there if you go to google and check the site.
Google only shows a little number of links, and probably 0 for a long time untill your site's authenticity is proved. So be patient and in the mean time build up more links...
Try searching for "www.your-domain.com" instead of link:www.your-domain.com. This way you'll see how many other websites contain URLs to your site, even if Googe doesn't count them as backlinks. You should see a lot more references to your site. If you don't, then you need to a) wait a bit longer, and b) get more backlinks. Cheers, Cryo.
