what is the best tool for checking backlinks? I’ve used yahoo site explorer and the SEO logs backlinks tool but they both give different results. I’ve done quite a bit of link building on my site of late and want to know how best to track these backlinks.

Hi guys,
its nolonger a secret that backlinks are the main aspect for page ranking by search engines.
I want to improve tha ranking for my index page from PR3 to PR4 see http://www.eblackbeauty.com
The big think is, whenever i try to ask for a backlink from a higher ranked website than me (PR7 PR8) i get ignored.
Any cool idea? should i pay for links from very popular sites? If yes? How to approach them?

[...] But there is another issue, one that affects blog etiquette. That is, your trackbacks don’t allow Google to count them, then its a bit impolite to those who link to you. Now on the other hand, your site gains all these incoming links, but your outbound links don’t get counted against you. Think about how that may help you in your own PageRank. Basically it’s a method to cheat the system. Personally I am not sure if I like it or not. I know I don’t like it when I am the link[er] but I have to admit that I like the idea for my site to increase my pagerank. So I must ask myself, should I which side I will choose. I know I am a bit “peeved” at Darren @ problogger.net because I know that even though I may quote his work and send him traffic, his site will not return the favor. But Darren is a good guy, with excellent morals and ethics, I’m sure he may just not know how to turn it off on his site, since its coded into it. And some of you out there may not know how to either. The good thing is, I can tell you :) [...]

Does anyone know why I get different results when I run link: my domain.com with a space after the word “link:” as opposed to no space.

I get dramatically more backlinks when I put a space in for my website http://www.manhattancomedy.com

A couple of days ago i noticed that problogger page rank dropped from 6 to 5. Anyone can’t know exactly why this happened but i have two opinions about this. First, ‘31 day to better blogs’ could cause this. Because darren linked a lot of site there and this is a big change for the problogger. I started to think about a ratio like In Links / Out Links . I think this ratio must be high for good PRs.

Second thing is, if problogger lost a big sites link that can couse this. I suppose quality is important not quantity. You may think dropping from 10000 link to 9999 is not much, but if that 1 site is yahoo then it makes so much difference.

How long does it take for the dust to settle?
I’ve still got zero backlinks and 0/10 PR atm my other site (which I tore down a couple of months ago is still showing a PR of 4/10 (would expect this to drop to either 1 or 0/10)

Google Updates Taking Place Now

About four times a year Google does an update of the backlinks and pagerank for all websites on the internet. As you can imagine this is no easy task and quite often it is kicked off on a long weekend. Apparently Google just did get started in an updat…

Yup, I’m still at 0 backlinks from google, even though MSN is showing 2000+. It’s probably google’s “new site” penalty, I’m thinking I’ll have to wait for the next update. :( Oh well, c’est la vie.

I dropped a cool 1000 links in the update. PR is still a weak 7, but I’m okay with that.

I am feeling very left out, no backlink update for me, PR still at a measly 0, but im still holding thumbs that the Google gods will take pity on my work…

Sorry, obviously I didn’t mean that the way it came out. FWIW, I’m not sure the statement is true either. Supposedly Yahoo respects the “nofollow” tag, too, but I just found a link from a comment I left here to one of my sites as a backward link on Yahoo in spite of it being marked “nofollow”.

But you’re right, Andy, whatever Google says, a link here is worth a lot.
