Re: Google reports a fraction of the links that Yahoo and MSN report


Hi " Don "

I think its just a " Stage " or trial period that google puts you
through before they show you what they really got on a site.

But once they let off the filters you most likely show a more decent
representation of what links you have a good site you shouldn't worry
too much check out AArons tool
http://www.linkhounds.com/link-harvester/ if your looking for a tool to
show you more of where your links are comming from and the domains
their on I believe it uses the Yahoo! api and is distributable.

Cheers, I learn't my lesson fighting with G they always seem to win in
the end. ;)
