My questions probably looks stupid for the must of webmasters..but I'm a nob..<br />
I know that Yahoo and Google work diferent when index my backlinks...<br />
<br />
I checked online my backlinks..and most of the online check programs show ~60 Yahoo backlinks, ~60 Alta Vista, 4 Bing, 1 Bekko..and most show 0 for Google.<br />
When I use Webmaster Tools..I see <b>Links to your site</b> 7 domains (same are in Alexa rank)..Links to your site = backlinks ???<br />
<br />
I read that if I use <b>link:yoursite.com</b> I can see my backlinks..but results are 0 here..<br />
<br />
So question 1 is who will show me google correct backlinks?<br />
<br />
I use link exchanges (3way), signiatures and posts in forums, facebook, tweeter, digg, subscribe website in different directories..to promote my website..<br />
<br />
2.How do I get all these backlinks indexed by google?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance for any advice!

</blockquote> Yahoo site explorer is a good tool that is somewhat accurate.<br />
<br />
Google webmaster tools will show the most google backlinks, but google will NEVER show you all your BL that are indexed by them. <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/wink.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-shortname=";)" /><br />
<br />
If you want to know how google sees your site, google webmaster tools is the place to be.<br />
<br />
Link exchanges are for nobs that don't know better. You will never get anywhere with link exchanges except a place on google's untrusted list... Google will index everything on your site sooner or later.. It is where your pages rank in the search results that matters and if you use link exchanges like your talking about, your site will never rank for anything but it's own domain name.<br />
<br />
I keep the following quote from Amit Singhal and Matt Cutts two of Google's chief Engineers. The quote is about what google wants in a website(in other words what kind of site will actually bring some traffic/money) posted where I can see it all the time.<br />

Google lists the following as “questions that one could use to assess the ‘quality’ of a page or an article”:<br />
Would you trust the information presented in this article? <br />
Is this article written by an expert or enthusiast who knows the topic well, or is it more shallow in nature? <br />
Does the site have duplicate, overlapping, or redundant articles on the same or similar topics with slightly different keyword variations? <br />
Would you be comfortable giving your credit card information to this site? <br />
Does this article have spelling, stylistic, or factual errors? <br />
Are the topics driven by genuine interests of readers of the site, or does the site generate content by attempting to guess what might rank well in search engines? <br />
Does the article provide original content or information, original reporting, original research, or original analysis? <br />
Does the page provide substantial value when compared to other pages in search results? <br />
How much quality control is done on content? <br />
Does the article describe both sides of a story? <br />
Is the site a recognized authority on its topic? <br />
Is the content mass-produced by or outsourced to a large number of creators, or spread across a large network of sites, so that individual pages or sites don’t get as much attention or care? <br />
Was the article edited well, or does it appear sloppy or hastily produced? <br />
For a health related query, would you trust information from this site? <br />
Would you recognize this site as an authoritative source when mentioned by name? <br />
Does this article provide a complete or comprehensive description of the topic? <br />
Does this article contain insightful analysis or interesting information that is beyond obvious? <br />
Is this the sort of page you’d want to bookmark, share with a friend, or recommend? <br />
Does this article have an excessive amount of ads that distract from or interfere with the main content? <br />
Would you expect to see this article in a printed magazine, encyclopedia or book? <br />
Are the articles short, unsubstantial, or otherwise lacking in helpful specifics? <br />
Are the pages produced with great care and attention to detail vs. less attention to detail? <br />
Would users complain when they see pages from this site?<br />
The company is careful to note that it’s not disclosing actual ranking signals used in its algorithms, but these questions will help you “step into Google’s mindset.” These questions are things that Google says it asks itself as it writes algorithms.<br />
Singhal also reminds webmasters, <b>“One other specific piece of guidance we’ve offered is that low-quality content on some parts of a website can impact the whole site’s rankings,</b> and thus removing low quality pages, merging or improving the content of individual shallow pages into more useful pages, or moving low quality pages to a different domain could eventually help the rankings of your higher-quality content.”
