Why do they have over 2000 backlinks

    autopartswarehouse.com has over 2000 backlinks, mostly from other pages on their site. How is this possible? My site has 500 pages and every page links to my home page. Ive had this site for over 3 years and I dont have a single backlink to Google. What am I doing wrong?

    Firsts of all, we would never know exactly how Google calculate backlinks and what backlinks they will show when we search link: domain.com. Apparently, google doesn't show all the backlinks they know

    There are possible reasons that why google shows more backlinks:
    1. The site is old (age factor)
    2. The site is more authority in google's eye
    3. The internal linking structure is well organized
    4. Their sites got "cleaner codes" than you do

    The back links you should concern yourself with are those from other 3rd party sites to yours.

    Internal linking, is only going to spread the link influence, coming into your site, from 3rd parties


    You need to promote your site more
