ranking move but no backlinks

I actually just posted this elsewhere, but its relevant here so I'll repost it for you.

Its important for you to know that Backlink checking tools do not represent what Google knows. A guy for example had 90,000 backlinks in a back link checker, and then another day he had 2,000. Those backlinks didn't disappear, the backlink checker just didn't have them in its database. (Not enough bandwidth and had to get rid of some, etc)

You gotta realize that Google itself doesn't crawl the entire web and these backlink checker tools aren't even close to being close to what Google can do. They have to crawl what they can, not to mention re-crawl what they already know about and with limited bandwidth...do you think they can find everything everywhere consistently? Especially in a timely fashion? No way, those things are not accurate measuring tools.

If you want to track something, track your SERPS.

Thanks

It's not that you really don't have backlinks. Moving up in SERP proves that your backlinks' effect took place. Like Rotzee has said, don't rely on backlink checker tools for it will only cause' confusion to you.

Exactly, those are not accurate at all. Track your SERPs, that is what counts.

Forget about backlink checking tools unless you are analyzing a competitor. If you do SEO well, your backlinks are counting for sure.

I fully agree with HKSEO Rotzee. I also think that checking your SERP with any tool will give you a LOT more information than checking the backlinks or their number...
