I added 100's of PR4+ backlinks but my link count dropped

jmcstuart · 07-20-2004, 07:36 AM

Hello all,

I have added a few hundred PR4 plus backlinks recently, but my google back link count has dropped from 70 to 55!

I have noticed an increase on the terms I used for the anchors, but still....

Anyone else experienced this before?

it takes time for the backlinks to show up. give it time.

jmcstuart · 07-20-2004, 07:49 AM

Any idea aprox how long?

Some of these new links have been up for 4 - 6 weeks...

Ferre · 07-20-2004, 07:57 AM

Two months in my experience.

rushy · 07-20-2004, 08:50 AM

the general consensus seems to be around 10-14 weeks...

I, Brian · 07-20-2004, 09:08 AM

I advise all client to not see results for 12-14 weeks. Sandbox.

the links show up then, but the full effect of the links does not always occur that quickly

jmcstuart you said links were live. Where are they? They are obviously not there. I suspect you may have no relation with that site. Or did you just forget to upload edited page?

You said links were there, although they were not there. I PMed, no response.
And refused business instead of defending yourself.

actually when a site links to another site, google updates its listing for that usually pretty quickly

if you check, sometimes pages are updated within 48 hours so you'll find that such updated pages will count as backlinks as soon as 48 hours after they link to you

try searching on google using www.domain.com www.domain.com
to get a more accurate idea of how many sites link to you

Looks like google changed which links to display as backlinks quite significantly, I've seen massive changes for my sites.

This is incorrect information...

Actually
www.domain.com www.domain.com (or +www.domain.com or"www.domain.com).. shows pages containing your URL.. thats it

Backlinks are not counted so frequently. Google take weeks doing that.. Correct syntax for finding BL is (link:www.mydomain.com). And actual link effect will need same or more time to take place..

Forget the google link check. I have added over 150 and my links went up by 2. Many of the links shown before have disappeared even though they are still there.
