Why does Yahoo count so many more backlinks than Google?

Its true . Yahoo shows more backlinks as compare to google as google onlly count quality links and yahoo each and every.

 

is this true? I am saying because I see a list of many links from the same site in webmaster tools.

 

yeah, what the other post said is rubbish... google count it as multiple links as well, the guy doesnt know what he is talking about....

there are a lot of people that just post rubbish for the sake of making a post...

 

guess they all have there way of doing things

 

It is not a big deal. Both google and yahoo use different algorithm. Google only shows the summary of the backlinks while yahoo shows the full list. So, the number of backlinks shown by google is always less than that showed by yahoo.

 

Yeah it's right yahoo provides more baclinks than google

 

It seems that Yahoo considers both types of link as a backlink such as do follow link and no follow link whereas Google only considers do follow link as a backlink

 

Although google crawls web pages faster than yahoo, they don't ever seem to show links.

 

thanks fo information

 

I think Google only counts the best backlink

 

not google account is also many back link not very big difference

 

Google count unique visitors and every time new visitors are not possible. I think yahoo count visitors but need to add some thing good even repeated but google don't.

 

If you site have 100 links from forums.digitalpoint.com google will count it one cause it is one site, but yahoo will count it 100.

 

I don't know their internal fact but they has different algorithm for ranking. May be that's why your back link shows different amount.

 

Nice information! This information is very useful for human beings.
