Google Webmaster Console Now Showing Backlinks
As of yesterday, the Google webmaster console now provides backlink data. The results are vastly improved over the link: command although as Matt Cutts states “the backlink tool doesn’t show 100% of the backlinks from Google yet, but I expect the number of links that are available to grow.”
We get into the link building conversation quite frequently as it is still a major factor in how Google ranks a website, BUT and it’s a big BUT, we don’t like anything that has to do with a link exchange, buying links or any auto-generated link building programs.
Our advice is simple: get active in publishing great content (blogging, podcasting, syndicating press rooms), syndicate your content through RSS, track the conversation online, post comments on other’s blogs and actively participate in discussion groups.
