I am pretty sure I have backlinks I just don’t know what they are.
Also google is not indexing all my other 200 pages. Do i need text? If so like a paragraph or just two lines?
Also I need to know what backlink is..
a backlink is a link from somewhere else, back to your site
Answer #1 is correct and according to Yahoo Site Explorer, you have no backlinks at all.
Google also only shows two url’s in their database. To rank your additional pages you will need backlinks to all of them, either from other sites or from your home page.
Text on the pages will help Google or Yahoo know what those pages are about.
1. backlinks are links on other people’s web sites that point to yours ie. they have a link to your web site on their web site
I did a quick search for you and found that google reports 0 backlinks, as does msn. Yahoo however reports 1 backlink from
backlinks are a crucial element of seo if you want to have your web site rank well with search engines … i won’t go into the details of backlinks as i have covered it extensively at the forum?… just do a search for ‘backlinks’ and you will get lots of valuable info that i have posted there … all will be revealed
2. i suggest that you use my free tool at to get a report on the seo condition of your web site … this tool is free and you will find it very helpful
to answer your question more specifically, you do need text! search engines work through the use of keywords and if your pages do not have text, how can they then find for what keywords your pages are relevant
be aware though,
- having 200 pages indexed does not mean that they will all rank high in search engine results … you need to use a strategy to have the most important pages listed and ranked high … which is what seo is about
- wanting to have 200 pages rank high in search engines is a HUGE ask and highly unlikely for a number of reasons i won’t go into as it gets technical
hope this helps

A backlink aka inbound link are links pointing to your site. These links are how Google comes up with your page rank (PR). There are things you can do to gain more backlinks and raise you PR
I’ve been using some very EZ ideas to get high ranking sites to provide backlinks to my blogs and sites. So far, my Adsense income is up over 25%!
Search engine optimization (SEO) is a set of methods aiming to improve the ranking of a website in search engine listings, and can be considered a subset of search engine marketing. Some commentators, and even some SEOs, break down methods used by practitioners into categories such as “white hat SEO” (methods generally approved by search engines, such as building content and improving site quality), or “black hat SEO” (tricks such as cloaking and spamdexing). White hatters charge that black hat methods are an attempt to manipulate search rankings unfairly. Black hatters counter that all SEO is an attempt to manipulate rankings, and that the particular methods one uses to rank well are irrelevant. Search engines such as Yahoo! and Google will take action against the sites found to have used black hat methods including dropping them down the list. The best way in the long term is to make your site useful to users.

A true back-link is a place that links to you from another domain or IP address, and after taking a look, you don’t seem to have any, but after even further research I suspect this site is very, very new, so I wouldn’t worry too much about that right now, you will get them. Each video that someone embeds on there web-site etc, will be a valid back-link for you.
Getting to the important part, you want to know why Google hasn’t hit your other 200 pages. Using my Googlebot simulator, I was only able to find about 90 pages, so my guess is you need to re-organize your structure so that your internal linking is better. In general I would improve your on-site SEO first, then worry about promoting your site. One of the keywords you selected was “Youtube”, and your site will never rank for that, youtube will, or the other 125,000,000 sites that are returned when you type that search word in. However if you use something like “funny videos”, “funny clips” and also use that as anchor text when you do promote your site you will place much better in search engines. I’m not saying to use those words, you have to do some keyword research to find your niche first and then choose what is best.
One of the biggest mistakes I have seen from new website owners is rushing to put something together, and trying to promote it before it is fully functional, this will get you a penalty in the long-run from the search engines. Get a clean working site first, then promote. A visitor that doesn’t see any value won’t return or embed your video into there site getting you that valuable back-link if the site is poorly designed or structured.
Hello Again,
I work for a search engine optimization and marketing company, and think I can help. Backlinks are links on other websites that link to you website. They are a very important component of SEO as Google ranks your site popularity in part on the quantity and quality of your backlinks. But keep in mind that the sites linking to you should have a Google PageRank of no less than 2. The higher the Google PageRank, the better. Typically, .edu and .gov sites carry a higher page rank. To view all the links that Google recognizes, go to their site and type link:funvoo.com. You also want to try and have these backlink sites use keywords in the text that is being linked on. Finally, a one-way link to your site is best. If you have a link back to the site linking to you, it is not a appealing to the search engines. Hope that helps.

A backlink is a link from a href link from your website to another by creating these you gain valuable web traffic.
