links and google

[PokerMaster]

I have been working on link exchanges and I have quite a few now. The thing is when I run any of these link tests I have 82 links total and 0 of them are for google. When I type pokerbonusdirect in to google search it comes up with 91 results all linking to my site. Did I miss simething?

i have the same problem with a lot of those tools, link checkers and meta tag checkers, for example i use one meta tag checker and tells me erros that i have no discription and no keywords when im looking right at them, meanwhile another checker tells me i have perfect tags.

same with links i use one checker and have 1000 total links i use another and it shows 200

There isn't a perfect way to create your meta tags therefore the analzysis results will vary from tool to tool - some will like your code and some will not - as long as you don't see warnings in every one of them - don't worry.

The backlinks thing is a completely different story. The results for any particular SE should not be different no matter what tool you use, because every backlink checker does exactly the same thing - it asks the SE for: link:www.yoursite.com.

The number of links shown in Yahoo and MSN will vary from day to day and sometimes from hour to hour. On the other hand the number of links shown in Google will remain the same for the whole month and then it will be updated. But even after the update Google will not show all your backlinks but just some (bigger rather than smaller) part of them! Confusing? Well, it may be

You must also know that Yahoo will count your backlinks in completely different way than Google - e.g. if you make a site-wide link exchange with 100pages website, then Google will increase your backlinks number by 1 or 2 while Yahoo probably by 100. Therefore the numbers at Yahoo are so much bigger that those at Google.

This is the backlink tool I like: http://www.mikes-marketing-tools.com/link-popularity/

ah hmm.
So google only counts the one way back links to your site and not rociprocal links. So link exchanges are pointless as far as google is concerned?

No, I didn't mean to say that [is my english really that bad ]
Google counts every link that points to your site, no matter if it's one way link or reciprocal link. Google knows the exact number of links that point to your site, however the link command displays only a sample that is updated every month.
And link exchanges are by no means pointless...

Ok
Sorry I just jumped to conclusions, The 1 link that shows up for me is probably the only 1 way link I have. Funny though, I checked 2 other members in this forums links and it seems to be mostly one way links that show up too, i.e. forums, blogs, ect. Anyway thanks for your help, and do you (or anyone) know which date roughly in the month they update it?

The backlinks Google chooses to show mean nothing. Ignore them.
