      Hi,

      I found that one of my competitors have zero backlings in google, zero in yahoo but about 50.000 in Bing. How is that possible?

      I assumed that all search engines would finde the backlinks.

      Besides that he ranks fair well and better than I do with only a single site and with only one article of content while I have a lot of content and sites.

      I do not undersdtand why he is ranking better in google, while google assumingly does not see any backlinks of the 50.000 bing is finding.

      Thx,

      Dan

        Google only shows a small part of the backlinks with the "link:" command, you have to use Webmaster Tools to obtain a more genuiine backlinks landscape. This is weird that you have no data from Yahoo...

        Did you try Open Site Explorer to get more informations from this website ?

          Hi, I analyzed both pages with OSE:

          Me: Page authority 22, Domain Authority 20, Linking Root domains 4, Total Links 489

          Competitor: Page authority 20, Domain Authority 8, Linking Root domains 1 (the domain itself), Total Links 5.

          The given Keyword is part of both urls and and the first part of the title tag and in the content of both pages. I am writing at least one article for the topic per month with all my SEO-knowledge (which ist obviously quite bad...)

          While this site has only one article on the front page and contains 6 pages all in all (Impressum, Contact details...)

          Well, I jsut dont get it why this page which is only set up to rank high and to sent people to an ajacent AmazonStore is ranking so well (Pos 3). I am an Pos 6.. It has no external links at all and no good content.

          Looks like a panda has to come again and eat the damn website...
