      I'm trying to get my head around this one as I have been diligently building good quality backlinks to my website over the past 8 weeks. I'm particularly proud of the several PR7s and PR8s I got through credible service reviews, however I notice some of these links show up in Google and others in Bing WMT - but not both!!

      Clearly I would like credit from both SE for all the links I have achieved. Is it just a waiting game for one to catch up with the other (Bing is ahead on the higher PRs)?

      Is there a way to submit the list of backlinks to the SEs so I can get the credit from both?

      Any insight would be appreciated...

        Well, just as a heads up, it looks as though the Google WMT is having a few problems at the moment.  Here's a link to the Google Products forum discussing the problem. Looks as though Google is aware of it and is working on it.

        I'd wait a few days, maybe a week until things all calm down and then have another look and compare.

          We went to PR5 in the past couple of days which is great news. But I had also noticed that the link report was missing 300+ of our backlinks... the article link might explain it. Will wait a week or two and see what happens!

            Well sounds like whatever you're doing is working well and looks as though all those authority links will have been considered, so not much to worry about I don't think. My guess would be that the bug is linked to the PR update we've seen.

              As long as they don't fix the bug and I end up back at PR4 again.... doh!!

              Cheers
