      I am quite surprise with this, normally site explorer show more and valid database for back links but this time its opposite.  the site url is www.motortrader.com.pk webmaster shows me about 2000 where as site explorer is null.

      is there any particular reason for that?

        Hi,

        You might want to check the FAQ on OSE which discusses the most obvious reason why no links are showing up and why there is a difference between OSE & Google WMT.

        rgds,

        Dirk

          site explorer does not crawl the whole internet, could it be that the 2000 are low quality links from obscure sites. I think SE tries to get the best of the web.
