What is going on?

    We have tried to increase the number of backlinks shown for our site on Google for a while now and it doesn't make sense anymore. Personally I am begining to wonder if there is something wrong with our listing.

    We have had 14 backlinks for about a year according to Google but our backlinks shown on Yahoo has been on a steady rise amounting to over 1400

    The 14 backlinks on Google have never increased, they get overwritten by other links instead but never total to any more then that? Can anyone make any sense of this:confused:

    As far as I know google deliberately [it could just be laziness though?] doesn't show you all the back links it indexed for you.

    So you will generally show less back links from google than you would on yahoo for example.

    IIRC though the google webmaster tools are very accurate with your back links, so check that out!

    I am not so good at this stuff MM but still get the feeling that something is very wrong. I mean if Google had 14 previous links and added another 14 new ones, that in turn should really amount to 28!?

    I can understand that many of our 1400 - 1500 links may not be according to the category of our site but I can assure that at least 300 of them are, they are also from highly ranked sites. It's weird....

    BTW google does not show all the back links you have! I suggest to continue with your link building process.

    You have to wait till next google update they will then update backlinks and note that they will only show backlinks which they think are real backlinks! :) that is why it's hard to build backlinks in google!
