      The linking root domains is not reading the linking domains, Google shows 38, seo tool shows 180 another seo shows 92 and site explore shows 5.

        You will see different statistics for each SEO tool. Some don't take into account linking domains that are spam, some do. Some don't count duplicate domains, some do. Etc.

        The same thing happens with traffic statistics. GWT and Google Analytics rarely line up on site traffic numbers. It's more important to follow trends over time than the actual numbers.

            Maybe it's because you have two home pages. Each one splitting your backlinks.

            http://www.1step2heaven.co.uk/index.php

            and

            http://www.1step2heaven.co.uk/

            Or some of those links might not be counted due to having bought links.

            I wouldn't focus on your statistical discrepancies at this stage. Instead I'd focus on adding more quality links and adding strong content to your website.

              to sort numerous homepage issue.

              the correct homepage, my blog stops workings and my linking domain gets split.
              Help
