Bad link partners?

Hi-
I have about 700 links that I have accumulated over the years. I tried to check the links with google's site: and link: option and I think a lot of sites are not linking back. (This may be due to my errors)

Is is very common for sites to get rid of your links?
Is there an efficient way to confirm back links?
Thanks

Yes there is, Google will never show you all backlinks.
you can eather check on yahoo, or use some of the tools like SEOSpyGlass software (free version checks up to 1100 backlinks) or online tool like linkdiagnosis.com.

use a software tool that spiders the websites on your links page or searches for links on google against a list of your link partners. it'll show you the ones with a link, the ones without and th eones with links that google doesn't know about.

if you have posted links for backlinking, make sure that are "nofollow" links. if there are "nofollow" links, the backlinking is useless. you can't confirm the backlinks, google searches for them automatically. nobody knows exactly when google checks them.

Yahoo site explorer shows more results but can't assure you that they are all counted as backlinks for your site.

Sadly, the only accurate way to check backlinks is by doing it manually and use your own judgement. Automated backlink checkers are not 100% accurate.

Manually you can miss something too, but automated tool will give you more free time

Hi,

1. You could not find all back links via using link: search on Google. Please use Yahoo siteexplorer or SEOQuake add-on for Firefox, instead.
2. I think the most effective backlinking channel would be self-hosting blogging.

all the best,

Very good advice - I have just tried SEO Quake - its nice - keyword density is cool. Thanks for sharing.
