Finding the real number of backlinks...
- SEO |
Yes, we all know those sites like backlinkwatch, yahoo site explorer etc.
3rd party sites MOST of the time use Yahoo site explorer's API since it is assumed that yahoo site explorer is the only way to "accurately" get an idea about backlinks.
But i see that this is simply not the case, as far as i see in yahoo site explorer (and thus also on backlinkwatch, metafever etc.)...yahoo site explorer counts also duplicate links.
For example, you have forum links on ONE forum, and forum links can be quite many if you have a link in your signature. But they are all from ONE domain so i don't think they count if you have 200 links all coming from one domain, but yahoo lists them and tell you you have 200 backlinks.
Then we have a number of backlinks as seen in alexa, or Google, or what Google webmaster tools says. I found that getting a REAL idea about relevant backlinks (for google rankings) is NOT that easy.
