    i ve heard many times that backlinks are important for google ... but what s backlink really?
    when i check in alexa , it says "2 sites linking" but when i check in google with " link:mywebsite.com" it doesnt show anything... when i search in google , there are many websites that s linking directly to me...
    why google doesnt count those links?

    in those websites linking to me, there s no "nofollow" tag or something ...
    i just cant understnd this...
    any help will be appreciated...

    Goofle updates backlinks once 3 months or so

    Plus google shows just 1% or so of the backlinks

    Keap what you are doing and try on yahoo to see (iy shows like 90% of the backlinks)

    Google don't show any backlinks especially if your site is new....you can only see it after the google backlinks update...
