why is google ignoring my links? - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

svakanda · 03-12-2008, 08:34 PM

I have some questions...I have a personal blog at terrazoa, life on earth, it's been up for at least a year. I've never involved it in questionable seo practices before. I did use the word fuck once, but I took it down rather quickly after thinking it over.

So here's my confusions...
My site has a fair number of backlinks, yahoo detects 600+, I dunno about msn. Google detects 8. Google has ALWAYS detected 8. It never raises and it never lowers. Meanwhile I've submitted to 500+ directories, which as they get spidered is causing my yahoo links to go up...but google is always at 8. Did I receive some sort of banhammer or something?

Google did recently bestow my site a PR3...but I've still only got 8 backlinks...wtf? That should at least be 20-30...more like 80-100 at think point I think.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to test this...I swear google has something against this site. It just doesn't make sense. Am I broken?

Is there a better backlink tool to use besides the ....site: tag in google search itself?

ahahah, make sure not to say the F-Word around here! people get very fucking upset if you curse.

But to answer your question, Google never shows all of your inbound links, so don't sweat it.

Google barely ever updates their link counts. No big deal. Webmaster tools is slightly more accurate. Just use yahoo though, and assume google found the same ones.

What they said. Google never shows an accurate count (unless you have 0 links).

Google is a tough nut to crack anyway.......at least for me anyway.
