Backward Links

Is anyone getting the correct number?

Backwards links seem to have been stuck for quite some time now.

Using:
-111111111 site:domain
I get the correct amount of about 5000+ Using all the other methods (that I know of) I get 119 or 145

What is going on. Simple speak please, I'm simple :o)

Admittedly haven't the foggiest what they're doing, Dave. I've totally stopped paying attention, which could well be their plan for all of us. I really believe they're gaslighting us and nothing will convince me otherwise. ;)

Are you missing those links that from your partners that are using LinksMxxxxx or Zexx?

Yeah, Google finally responded to the meaningless link exchange scheme! Continue your effort!

For a site new in early May some strange things have happened.

For months the link: command showed no results and site was PR0. The site is still PR0 now.

The inurl: command listed every page of the site as well as several pages from other sites and directories (including an ODP clone, Joe Ant, and a Joe Ant clone) that linked to the site.

A few weeks back (or more?), the link: command started showing links from two other sites that linked to this one. Those links were in place very soon after the site originally went live. The link: command still didn't show any of the more recent links that I know exist out there. It didn't even show any of those that it already know about and had previously shown when using the inurl: command.

At least a week ago, the inurl: results changed such that only pages from the site itself were listed, and still remains that way.

In the last few days the link: command on cw and gv has suddenly started listing all of the internal pages of the site, and a link from the ODP from late May. It does not list the other links that it had been previously showing with either the inurl: or the link: command.

There has been an update of some sort but the data is still incomplete or broken.

My links dropped by 50% then came back then dropped again - I don't know what's going on. Nothing has really changed with my site.

Sorry, I may be going a little mad here, but how does "-111111 site:domain.com" show you backlinks? This will just show you all the pages in your site which do not contain the expression "1111111" - in other words a variation on allinurl: and not link:.

Or am I going mad?!

Thanks,

For the last 11 hours or so, all links showing correctly after 3 months of nail biting.
Fingers and toes now firmly crossed.
