Link Analysis shows no external sites linking to me?

Hi Donnie,

My URL is a few years old but I re-did the site approx 5 months ago. When I do the same search I get 2 pages of results. That's with me signed out of Google.

But all these results are my pages.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks again. Very much appreciated

Aidan

I took out the "http://"... here type " inurl:www.theethicalsilkco.com/ "

Sorry Donnie, But you are going to have to hold my hand through this What should I be seeing when I use this operator? I see 4 results. I see that Google has not visited it in the last 90 days. I should request this in WT no? I used- link:www.theethicalsilkco.com and got no results. I presume that this means that no-one is linking to me. Although I can see 2 sites that link to me: http://www.rte.ie/radio1/todaywithpatkenny/2010-12-16.html www.independent.ie/lifestyle/christmas/five-christmas-presents-that-keep-on-giving-2444715.html Thanks, Aidan

Hey AIden, my mistake... Inurl only shows parameters within URLs

Try this instead inlink:www.theethicalsilkco.com this command shows your indexed links.

[aidanlawlor]

Boom! There they are. 29 results.

So, from this can you tell me none of these are showing up in my Link Analysis report or when Google stated that it had not indexed my site in over 90 days even though i used Google Fetch only 2 weeks ago and it came back successful?

I bet you reject answering my initial question

Thanks for all the help thus far

Seomoz takes longer to calculate the links and they do not have every URL indexed. If you look in your Google webmaster tools, SEOmoz's Open Site Explorer and Majestics backlink checker (http://www.majesticseo.com/) you should get most of the indexed backlink data you need. Keep in mind that you might place a link on a page today that may not get indexed for 6 weeks.

Also, have you submitted a sitemap to Google?

It can take a couple of months for links to show up. Our server farm isn't as big as Google or Bing, so we don't crawl as fast or deep as they do. They'll know about links before we do. It probably just needs a little more time is all. If links still don't show up, it could be because they're on pages we haven't crawled yet because they are lower quality, or just buried on a site. For example, we don't show all of the links from Twitter -- we just don't have the power to crawl all of Twitter and still crawl anything else!

Hi Donnie,

I havent submitted a site map yet as my site was created with Squarespace and they do all that stuff. But I'll get on it.

Thanks for all the help.

Cheers
