Why don't backlinks from UKGSER site show up?

mars guitars · 11-01-2007, 06:27 PM

As a keen biker I've been a member of www.ukgser.com for several years (probably the best motorcycle website I know!). I've participated purely for interest, not for links, but set my sig to point to my own website some time back, and more recently changed the links for targetted anchor text.

However, when I check Google webmaster links (or, indeed any other backlink tool), I don't see any ukgser links. Any idea why? The links are definately live on the site, and I've posted 174(ish) times since Oct 04. As I said, I participate in the site for interest.. but it seems a shame to waste the link potential! It's a great site, very active, thousands of members and PR4.

Anybody???

put simply, because they are not indexed. the only page that is fully indexed on the forum is the home page. They are also using the no cache tag, so no surprise that the pages are not cached then

OK, thanks.
I was looking for no-follow... didn't realise no-cache did it
