Oskar,
even though Google shows you as having only 2 links.
How did you find out how many links I had? Did it say where they were from?

I tried to do it myself using the advice given in the article on deep links, but I couldn't get it to work.

Use.........

http://www.linkpopularity.com/

To get your 2 Google links, which are just the same as shown by Msn and Yahoo, put a space in between link: and www i.e. link: www

Oskar, that's not right.

If you put link: www.sitename.com you are searching for pages that contain the words 'link' and 'www.sitename.com' - not necessarily actual links to your site

If you put link:www.sitename.com (no space) you are searching for the number of links reported.

As we know google only reports a sample of the links they really now about, so aren't a good system to use to check links.

Pauliner, spainbeachapartment does not appear to be indexed at all in google.com and only one page in google.co.uk. You can check this with site:www.spainbeachapartment.eu (again, no space between site: and www) You need more people linking to you! I have sent you a PM to point you in the right direction.

Cheers

I'm going to lie down now.

But thanks for the help, anyway.

Apologies Marcus, you´re right in what you say. I was just using the example in this case as the number of Google links shown was the same as MSN and Yahoo, which of course is unusual
