My backlinks are not showing in webmaster tools? Why

[denakalami]

Hi Experts,

I have follow backlinks from a domain for 6 months, but its not apear in Links to Your Site tools (search console)

that domain has 302k indexed pages in google!

Could you please explain me why google not showing this type of backlinks?

Hello,

There are several reasons this could be happening:

1. The page(s) containing your links may not have been discovered/indexed. It is possible Google is not able to access the pages containing your links.

2. The links could be using some form of redirect that is not search engine friendly (crawlers are unable to follow it).

3. The pages containing your links could be using a 'nofollow' directive that is preventing bots from accessing your links/outbound links.

4. They have been crawled and Google is simply not listing them in Google Search Console as they have acknowledged is normal in this Google Search Console help article ("Not all links to your site may be listed. This is normal.").

Hard to say without being able to see the links firsthand. If you would like to message me with the pages containing your links, I would be happy to take a quick look.

Thank you Joe,

the following url contain some back links (sitewide)

You are welcome.

Are you sure you are looking in the correct Google Search Console property? (http:// vs https:// vs http://www. vs https://www) - If you are looking in the https://www. property but these links point to the http://www. version of a URL, they will not register in this report.

I assume your links is one of these on the left-hand sidebar? (screenshot). If so, Google should be hitting your links whether they display in Search Console or not. I can see them in the cached version of a page and I can see parisnews.ir show up in an Open Site Explorer backlink report for tizland.ir.

That being said, I would caution you on these types of back links. Sitewide, anchor text heavy back links that appear to have been paid for such as these can trigger unwanted attention from Google and can lead to a penalized website. I'd recommend a more white hat approach to your link acquisition, see this Whiteboard Friday for more on this subject.

Joe Thanks for wonderful explanation. Just more curious .You have written:

The links could be using some form of redirect that is not search engine friendly (crawlers are unable to follow it).

Is there any ways to find it out if the website is redirecting it
