search change in link: search on google?

[ehabheik]

I am not very active in SEO, but i have a a couple of large sites with tens of thousands of pages. A few months ago I tried the link: search in google to see how many back links I had and they where hundreds of links.

Now I tried the same and I only get like 70 links to my site. Did google change the way is sees links?

The link:...... was never the best way to measure the inbound link. The best and more efficient way is to check out your webmaster tools account.

Another way (but not 100%) is to use SEOQuacke plugin for Firefox, give a try.

By the way yes, Google has changed recently rolling out Caffeine search.

Is there any automated link building submitter that can be called from a web workflow, I would love to be able to get backlinks in forums etc for new content we add. We add like 40-50 pages or more per day. I want something that works at the server not at the desktop.

Another great firefox plugin which does the same as SEoQuake and much more is SEO for firefox. I've been using it for a couple of months now and it works great
