Hi Warriors,

I'm trying to check backlinks for specific EZA articles but keep coming up with no hits, even on my own articles which I KNOW have backlinks to them, and at least some of which I'm positive have been spidered.

Anyone know how I can check this?

  • The backlink checking issue for a specific page or site is the weak point for almost all search engines. Basically this is because it is their INTENT to NOT show all backlinks they see.

    I made a short video that explains why this happened and how to check the backlinks - please watch it here YouTube - How Many One Way Links Needed to Get Google Page 1
    The Yahoo search tool quoted in the video is http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/

    • Hi freetraff,

      I'm sorry I have to disagree with your premise. There is no specific number of backlinks needed to make it to the top in Google results, this is a myth. A single quality backlink can be worth more than 10,000 free-for-all links. Quality is paramount.

      While it's true that Google does not show competitors your true number of backlinks, they do show your own true number in Webmaster Tools. You must verify that you control the website before they will reveal this data (A privacy issue).

      There are many other factors besides backlinks that determine how you will rank in SERPs. I have seen many a folk rise to the top without creating more than one or two backlinks for themselves.

  • The problem was actually that Yahoo! Site Explorer wasn't working, just temporarily down I guess. I thought it was an issue with the EZA link. NVM!

    • But as I said in my video, Yahoo is not the best tool to check backlink number for Google.

      I know several SEO gurus (who sell backlink checking tools) and they say that Yahoo and Google should be close in their ways of indexing and "seeing" backlinks.

      But, to my mind, this is a lame excuse of the people who have nothing else to do but giving excuses why they are using Yahoo tool to check backlinks (otherwise they will not be able to sell these backlink checking tools to the masses).

      I am sure that if you ask these gurus to bet really big sum of money on supporting the statement "Google and Yahoo are very close in the way they see backlinks" they will do everything possible to dodge this bet.
