Google Backlinks?

[reggy73]

when i check the link popularity of my site in Google it only shows 17 URLs linking to my main page, but yet i have 50+ URLs linking to the main page & they are all in Googles index - how is that possible??? :confused:

Google shows very few of your BL's..

Try Yahoo, AltaVista, AllTheWeb, MSN Search and HotBot for a complete list of all backlnks..

Thnx 4 the response - so is there anyway of knowing all the backlinks that Google knows about?

[jan]

No. They don't want us to know.

I have only been doing seo for less than 2 years, but as far as I know google has never really showed all backlinks. in the past they used to only show MOSTLY the high power links with a few low power ones mixed in. now they just show some of the low power ones with extremely few high powered ones mixed in.

If you do a search on just the domain name you can find the pages where the URL appears - with and without being linked. Not as helpful as it would be if they showed the links, but at least you'll know about those pages.

Reggy73: Try the link and linkdomain commmand on Yahoo. This gives you a better picture of your links.

Google is only show 1/6th of my backlinks - is there anyway that this can improve cuz most of the sites are already in Google but only very few show up as backlinks???

reggy73: Google only displays a sample of there links with the link: command. It is recorded right here by GoogleGuy himself http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/showpost.php?p=23003&postcount=27 .

Having a space character after Link: often gets lots more.

Having a space character after Link: often gets lots more.Dave Hawley: Hey great tip. Sould I use that one on my clients when they complaining about not having enough links.

4:00am and Bob dozes off into funny land and dreams a dream.....

Bob: "Say here client just put a space in and see how many links you done did got now!"
Client: "Woa man, how you do that."
Bob: "Well I done did learned that one over dar at the LerchEngineBotch."
Client: "Wait a sec dude, that is just doing a normal search and pulling up all occurrences of my domain."
Bob: "Hun, how about that eh, but look at the numbers, don't you feel better."
Client: "Hey look at this when you remove link: you get even more."
Bob: "Woa man, how you do that."
Client: "And check this out, see what happens when you take the www. off."
Bob: "Wild, keep going you pretty near got dat link command done did fixed."
Client: "Hey look at this when I take the extention off, man I have links now."
Bob: "Great, great we have fixed the link command. I will go and post it over dar at da LerchEngineBotch and I will be flameus."

Bob bangs his head against the monitor and wakes up....

LOL! I was wondering who would take it as serious (wasn't excepting to get a bite so quick though). I guess you just have to spell some things out to certain types.

It was S A R C A S M for those that insist the Link command should show more links.

Dave Hawley: Ya my post look really serious doesn't it. But I will admit that I though you were being serious. But thats a reflection on the level of your other posts ;)

Ya my post look really serious doesn't it Perhaps that's a "reflection on the level of your other posts" :D

Right now it looks to me like the msn beta search is finding links better than anyone else.

[Dave Hawley]

This page (http://www.marketleap.com/publinkpop/default.htm) will show you backlinks using the Link: command on Alltheweb, AltaVista, Google/AOL, HotBot, MSN and Yahoo!
