But when I looked at the ratio of following-to-followers
Posted: Sun Dec 22, 2024 6:42 am
Found that very low ratio accounts (those with many more people following them than they are following) tend to have more followers than accounts with very high ratios. So while the following to get followers tactic works, you should do it in a step-by-step fashion and try to keep your ratio as close to one as possible. And here's a little trailer for my book if you want some more information: I collected the data above spur of the moment, so I won't try to claim great statistical integrity.
However, looking at Google's link: comm france business email list and results, the best I can say is that Google has some relationship to the others within 1-2 orders of magnitude, though they may be directionally inaccurate much of the time as well. Just look at the NYTimes.com for example - Google claims they have 2/3rds the links that Salon.com has, yet Yahoo! and Linkscape agree that, in fact, NYTimes.com has 6X+ Salon.com's link total. These are not numbers you want to hang your hat (or any crucial business decisions) on.
Myth #5 - The Google Link Command Tracks Accurately Over Time Unfortunately, I don't have data points I can show, but our observations over time indicate that Google's link count in Webmaster Tools might rise, along with the Yahoo! and Linkscape link counts, yet the Google link: command will show lower numbers. The reverse is sometimes also the case. Without directional consistency, even when compared against their own counts, it's very hard to take the Google link: count seriously.
