The problem is filtering these and removing links from the same domain. Google webmaster tools should show you most of the backlinks Google is aware of.

I created an incoming link from a squidoo page a while ago and it's not showing. Is it maybe more reliable to use the google webmaster tools? Does yahoo present all incoming links?

When I check my site, it shows numerous links from the same blogs just different pages, where I'm not linked to. What is happening here? Hope this makes sense.

Have you checked out old that person's site is? If they are a lot older than yours that could be the reason. They also can have more link strength than you without having a higher link count.

I know we talked about this via email. According to the Yahoo, I have 2310 inlinks for my entire site and I am at #8 on Google for my keyword. The top 2 have 2500 and 6000 inlinks respectively. The #3 guy has 908 and the #4 guy only has 68. Any thoughts on why #4 is beating me with a non-blog site and only 68 links? Hey Court-
Great post.

I know we talked about this via email. According to the Yahoo, I have 2310 inlinks for my entire site and I am at #8 on Google for my keyword.

The #3 guy has 908 and the #4 guy only has 68.

Any thoughts on why #4 is beating me with a non-blog site and only 68 links?

It can be confusing though. At one point i was doing a bit of competition research and noticed that one of my competitors with 20k backlinks was ranking over the other with 750K. Looking into their backlinks closer would have been a tedious task. Great tips! It can be confusing though.
