Why doesn’t Google pick up all incoming/inbound links, like other search engines do?

Written by General Seo on Jan 25th, 2010 | Filed under: Link Popularity

I was wondering why Google doesn’t pick up/recognize all incoming/inbound links to another Website, as other search engines like Yahoo and MSN, do? This is a question about link popularity building as part of an SEO strategy.

    It does pick them up but chooses not to display them all with the link: command, for commercial reasons. Basically the link: command in Google shows only a sample of the links it knows about and is therefore completely useless.

    The most reliable is Yahoo Search with the command linkdomain:yourdomain.com -site:yourdomain.com

    Ask Google. Give them a call.

    Every engine has it’s own method an so does Google. People focus too much on quanity when they should be worried about quality.

    I bet it will as long as the page linked from isn’t orphaned (ie has no inbound links) itself. However I don’t think any of the engines will give you a complete listing of your backlinks. Google certainly doesn’t.
