Hi Amjal, welcome

I have removed the needless link from your post, and also the email addres. The whole point of a forum is for everyone to learn from the replies given. Asking people to deal with you privately should be placed in the contracting and sub contracting forum, and you can expect to pay for it.

Anyhowback to your question. What syntax are you using to check your link popularity in the search engines? Also you don't seem to have mentioned Yahoo! is there a reason for this?

It must be your link backs. Check on google how many link backs you have to your webiste this way:

link:yourwebsiteurl.com

it has inverse relation with your website PR

Hi Ajmal Sedigi

I've again removed your email address and link since you put it back after OWG took it out. It's not needed for your question. Please take a quick look at the Forum Rules if you are unsure about what is allowed and what isn't.

It must be  your link backs. Check on google how many link backs you have to your webiste this way:

link:yourwebsiteurl.com

This command does not work. Google broke it a long time ago and they have been very clear in more than one public forum about the fact that it shows only a random sampling of backlinks. The backlinks are updated about once every three months.

it has inverse relation with your website PR

There is no documented relation between the reported backlinks and PR.

Link popularity will vary from search engine to search engine and day by day due to many factors, including (but not limited to):

1) Frequency of crawls on sites linking to your own

2) Changes in your URLs

3) Availability of sites linking to your own

4) Adjustments in database (due to filters, new ranking algorithms, etc.)

5) Performance of the search engine servers (they sometimes stop processing requests and return what results they have due to server load)

What people need to be concerned with is how well their sites do in the search results for their targeted queries. There is no direct correlation between linkage and search results performance. Some sites get good rankings on the basis of linkage and other sites get good rankings on the basis of content, and some sites do it through a combination of both.

Welcome Ajmal Sediqi

My suggestion is to stop checking it every day. Then you won't notice if it's gone down (or up). And since I'm sure the ups and downs aren't affecting your traffic or sales in anyway, why waste your time checking it if it's just making you stressed out?
