Links to the site

Question

Google

Good evening!

I turn to the Google optimization gurus and search masters :).
So, there is a site: mydomain.ru
In Google I enter the query: link: mydomain.ru - the result is zero
In "Google for webmasters" in the section Links to your site - not a single link.
In addition, today this tool suddenly decided that I had not verified the rights to this site. Posted a file - confirmed. But the result is the same: 0 links to the site.

What is known for sure: the site has 5 links from other sites (however, they all lie on the same hosting and they have the same IP - maybe this is important?). These links are about six months old. Not so long ago (4-5 months ago) the main site has changed - in terms of texts, design, paths. Google also shows that out of 22 addresses in the sitemap it indexed only 19, but it did not find any errors.

What to do so that Google sees those 5 links? (They contain important reference text.) Why is the sitemap not fully indexed?

Thank you!

Answer 1

And the pages that have links to your site in the Google index? Maybe Google is not aware of these pages or they are excluded from the index?

Answer 2

You need to write links:mydomain.ru

Answer 3

Check if Google sees your sitemap.xml file correctly. You can verify this by going to the appropriate section of Google Analytics.

1. About links. As already recommended, check the indexing of links manually using the cache:<address of the page with the link> command.
If the page is indexed but your link is not there, you just have to wait for the next indexing.
If the page with your link is not indexed, check the robots.txt file, perhaps the section in which the link is placed is closed from indexing.
Also remember that the data in webmaster tools is not updated in real time, but with a delay of one to several days.
2. By sitemap. Submitting a sitemap does not guarantee indexing. If you generate a sitemap file with standard scripts, it is quite possible that the list of important pages includes tag pages, print pages, and other duplicate content. Most often, this is why the entire sitemap is not indexed. Also make sure that the pages listed in the sitemap do not give a 404 error.
