Google link accpetance criteria

[axiaer]

This thing really irritates me, i've been posting backlinks for around 3 months to around 200+ sites. (All sites either with PR 3 or PR 4)

All the web accepted 50+ Backlinks
Ask accepted 55+ Links
Bing and yahoo on average accepted 25 back links

but google accepted only 1 back link

What is it so? what is the criteria of Google accpeting backlinks so that we can focus on those quality website rather them wasting time of submission on other sites. Any insight information that you can share to make things a bit more undestanding.

I assume your talking about the link:domain command?

If so Google only display a small selection of the links that they know about. If you want to see more in depth link metrics verify your site with Google webmaster center

I've checked the webmaster thing as well and good news 34 bacl links accepted.
My point is this, why dosn't google accepts all back link we post on the web...?

google doesn't list all the links it's found - they used to but started to show only the best or important ones. They will know what links you have -- don't worry about that.
Don't get fixated on the number - this is irrelevant. It's the quality that matters

 

[axiaer]

And in your openion how do you guage the quality of the link?

I believe the forum is place where you interact, you learn and you grow. If you think you're super genius you can never learn.

In my opinion, google has a extremely tough criteria of selecting back link. In my experience
1000 One way link posted to PR3 sites
2 Link posted to non link exchange sites are equal.

Google give much more weight-age to site that are not professional link exchange sites, link posted on those sites (specially powered by back link on your third party client site) are more meaning full then any tom dick harry publishing links on other site. However we cant totally negate to the fact that with Quality, Google also considers the Quantity of the link. So you need to have a good portfolio of links, some high quality links on reputable site, and some high quantity links of exchange sites, that's the best ingredient, i guess.

The purpose was to get insight of other professionals writing here, to learn more from their experiences.

Oh dear. I'm not picking on you specifically Axiaer as you're one of many people that I see offering SEO services while at the same time trying to sell services to clients.

It really makes me angry as it's situations like this which give the whole industry a bad name, the client gets pissed off at the lack of results, knowledge, answers and the cost of paying for a service that's not giving results, and before you know it, all SEOs are bad and the rest of us have to deal with the fallout.

Without proper training or experience you wouldn't become a plumber, builder, lawyer or accountant. I don't see why people think that just anyone can turn their hand to SEO without learning about it first.

It appears I am not alone in my thoughts... If you can't follow SEO good practices or offer worthwhile advice from the industry, you shouldn't be a) claiming to be an SEO expert as you insinuated in said post linked to above and b) be offering SEO services to clients.

I would like to think that clients interested in hiring your services would be able to tell from looking at your website that you don't really know the fundamental do's and don't of SEO...

I notice the links have been removed from your signature now, probably thanks to UKBF... It's okay though, you weren't even benefiting from the second link in your signature but being an SEO expert, you know why that it is... right?

It's not you being picked on though, there are many others claiming to be an expert in their field offering the service to their own clients and their contribution on UKBF clearly proves they shouldn't be. As mattsaw mentions, it's frustrating as these kinds of scenarios that gives the industry a bad name and puts a lot of clients off ever approaching another SEO company again.

 

[axiaer]

Thank you both, i definitely look into your suggestions.

Peace.

I have read this with interest what I don't understand though is if i typin link:my domain.com it comes up with 18 links, yet if I type in links:my domain name.com it says 161

What is the difference between the two and what is better - what should I be aiming for?

Sorry if I have hijacked the OP

link: yourdomain is the backlink search command - for want of a better term.
This is purposefully broken and has been for sometime - it will only show a sample of links

links:yourdomain isn't anything so will just return results for those words
