I checked my backlinks with google (link:mysite_name_com) and found that only 31 backlinks were reported. Almost all links I bot (with PR 6,5,4) are not showing up... Do you know how often google updates backlinks? I think it has been many weeks and I never see it updated... thanks.
Google only shows a "sample" of your backlinks, and it appears that they show only the most useless ones. Google are bastards. Check your backlinks on Yahoo. The syntax I use is: linkdomain:www.example.com -domain:www.example.com Code (markup): This removes internal links from the link count.
Google will never show you all they know. Just continue getting trusted links and don't worry about how many google is showing.
yep it's just a sample. and updated rarley so it is better to use yahoo or msn when checking, they are updated daily
now i felt much better -- over a thousand backlinks at msn while only 31 are shown on google... thank you guys.
I also check my link in google and it display few links also. And I also check in yahoo and MSN they display different number of links.
Google show only good link or some trusted sites. They dont show your whole backlinks yahoo is best to see you backlinks Just try that.
I noticed that MSN and Yahoo crowlers are vivider somehow. One of my links was indexed - guess where - in the admin section sitting there waiting for approval. I just could not believe my eyes! Google is more cautious adding links.
