link:search in google
 

Hi all,

When I use this in google link:www.mydomain.com/

I always get only very few links and they are all very old.
How come?

Are these the links google uses to determen how important your site is?

Thanks

Google doesn't show all your backlinks, just some. And it's not updated in real time, they update whenevr they feel like it.. so a link you got last week wouldnt be showing in there yet.

And yes, backlinks are a factor in determining how "important" your site is, but its amongst many other factors as well.

Thanks Sean |thumb

Using yahoo - links:www.domain.com - is usually a better representation :)

Thanks Linkster,

This is a different story
Now I see a lot of incoming links I don't know about.
I get incoming links from linkfarms.
http://www.linkamania.com/
http://www.lightspeed-university-cheerleaders.com/
www.gnet.snngr.net/g_013500_net.html

I can't find my link but I don't know if I must be happy with this

I don't see any of my regular trades I made though.

troy - sorry bout that - I messed up - it should be:
link:http://www.domain.com - I forgot you have to use the http and the link not links :)

Thats much better Linkster
This is good info, thanks again

I don't think google has ever given the correct linkbacks, ever.

ronnie - up until the summer of 2003 they did :)

Did they? Shows how much I know...:)

Guess I never really followed it. Seems it's been wrong for so long.
