Hi,

For about 3 weeks now I don't seem to be getting any results regarding any backlink data from Google.

I also noticed that there are no Yahoo results but it seems that this is something that Yahoo is causing.

I tried contacting support but I haven't gotten any response back.

Any ideas?

Well, Yahoo Site Explorer is gone and there are no more backlinks from Yahoo, we have our own backlink database now:

Try to consult the following possible causes for that:

Please send us the support ticket ID and we'll investigate the issue for you.

I'm having the same problem, i can't get any results from Google. How can i resolve this?

Same here! Mind you when researching backlinks in the past, Yahoo was the place to go as they always showed more than Google.

Google webmaster tools comes up with about 70 links for one of my sites of which 50 or so are not listed (NO google sourced links listed) in the Spyglass results page.

There are, of course, a lot of results in Spyglass that Google has not displayed - but thats not really the issue.

Cheers

Yes, and now Yahoo Site Explorer is off since Yahoo was acquired by Bing.



They might not even be listed in Google publicly as well. We use the link: operator to extract backlinks from search engines, but Google shows only a tiny portion of links they're aware of:

What you see in GWT is your OWN personal data, you can not get that data on your competitors, for instance. However if you wish you can transfer links from GWT to SEO SpyGlass (File -> New Project -> Expert options). Together with our database that generally gives out much more backlink data than Google, you can have a nearly complete backlink profile of your site.



Some of the backlinks that Google lists can be found first in other sources, e.g. Alexa, Blekko, or SEO SpyGlass database - then they won't be indicated as "found in Google".
