Google Webmaster. Backlinks
-
GWMT only shows that there are 3 domains pointing to a site of mine. I'm looking under "Links to site".
But this can't be true because the site is pretty old and I know there are hundreds of domains that point to this one.
What would explain this discrepancy? And is there some other free tool that will show all the backlinks?
I've used Opensite explorer but that tool isn't close to comprehensive as GWMT usually is (based on other sites I've analyzed)
-
Will GWMT still disavow a list of links even if those links are not listed under GWMT's "links to site" section? I had to use OSE and Bing Webmaster to find the bad backlinks to my site.
Also, didn't Bing had its own disavow tool as well? I don't see it now
-
webmaster tools did a clean up on links they show
they used to show a lot more but now they lowered the number of links so that's one reason
Another reason is that the links is probably very old. Ive seen very old links on inactive sites disappear from GWT.
If you use majestic seo, you can see those links in historic mode. In fresh mode, you wont. It's almost the same logic.

Oooh, yes
This is a good question. I am having the exact same issue with my website. In OSE it only shows that we have like 3 linking root domains but we have more under followed back links.
I Just found this out in OSE
"Although we do not currently display a count of total links for this filter set, you can still view all the links by paginating or downloading a CSV (up to 25 links per domain)."
I am curious about what someone more knowledge than myself has to say. What is GWMT & what are your issues with OSE. It takes a little time to get use to but I understand it pretty well.

Backlinks or content? What is the problem here?
My Moz ranking is 29, Ahrefs Domain rank is 49 and Majestic Citation flow is 44 whereas trust flow is 17. This is a plain question - If the above are the rankings for backlink problem, then where is the problem more likely to be found? Backlink or content? In more detail - My site has been dropping in search since the last few weeks. With these rankings, is it likely that a backlink related problem is there? I myself agree that some content is poor and thin and there is a problem of plagiarism also. But overall, do i keep focusing on content? I do not know how good are these rankings as shown above. My URL is www.marketing91.com Please let me know whether the backlink profile looks good or not? So that at least i am not worried that there is a backlink problem as well. (i will surely work on toxic links soon) I can worry only on content.

Alternative to Google Analytics
Hey Everyone, My company has just changed the order processing software we are using and it's causing some issues with Google Analytics conversion funnel tracking. Specifically, there is one point in the funnel where making certain selections (which about half the people do) causes the page to reload. Also, on the login/register page, if they miss a field, the software tells them missed the field, but loads a new page which has a different URL which is not a part of the funnel when a mistake like that isn't made. All of this is causing Google Analytics to report people as leaving the conversion funnel when they really haven't. About a third of the traffic is being shown as exiting the funnel with the exit URL being the exact same URL as the step they are supposedly exiting from (example: the visitor enters on page1, moves to page2, Google is showing that they exit on page2 and go to...page2. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to deal with this in Google Analytics? If not, do you have a recommendation of an alternative analytics program which can deal with the situations mentioned above? PS - Changing the way the checkout software works does not appear to be a viable option. Kurt Steinbrueck

Google Analytics Alternatives
I am getting really fed up with how unreliable Google Analytics data is. Also, because I have several large sites I can't use the goal tracking or conversion funnel reports. What are the best alternatives to Google Analytics?
