Google backlink update

[peterjhale]

yes it's that time again and google has updated the backlinks that it has found to your site(s)

use the command link:www .yourdomain.com

Is anyone tracking these at all on their sites ?

I always track them. It's wise to track your competitors web sites too.

[peterjhale]

yeah it's good to track your comps to see where their links are coming from

Hi Peter

Thanks for that info, I missed this one.
Although I check from time to time, I don't pay a lot of attention as it is just a small subset of total links.

Log in to Google Webmaster Tools to see most of the rest of your links; it's a great facility.

This thread is from 2004 .... although I believe a few weeks ago this happened as well

But notoriously inaccurate. I wouldn't rely on the google tools to provide any accurate analysis of inbound links (the term backlinks fell out of favour a while back).

Ya have check google last updated on 13-jan. I get good results for my site.
When is next updation for google backlinks.

[fisicx]

There is no 'backlinks' update - testing the number of inbound links is something you can do every day.

What I think you are referring to is the TBPR update which happens every now and then. It is more important however to work on improving your ranking not TBPR.

[peterjhale]

Google do update the links with their link operator normally just before undertaking a TBPR update whereas Yahoo update generally when they find new backlinks

I use Yahoo site explorer also aside from the link:www . yoursite . com query on google. Which do you guys think is more accurate of the two?
