why my links do not show up on Google and why my site seems to be
aball from your search engine? I am sorry if I did something wrong.

Thanks

Hi Gizmo:

Please note that Googles Answers Researchers are independent
contractors and we are certainly not privy to the inside workings of
Google's search engines or its closely-guarded algorithms.

You didn't mention when you had submitted your site to the search
engines, but I noticed that your site does not show up on Alta Vista,
MSN's search and I couldn't find it listed in the DMOZ directory.

Google's search engine crawls the web about once a month, so if you
have only recently submitted your site to the search engines, it could
take as long as six weeks to show up on the search engines.

Google's Information for submitting your site and an explanation on
how best to get your site listed can be found here:
://www.google.com/webmasters/1.html#A2

This information for Webmasters also gives you a rough idea how the
search engine works and some information on page ranking.

There is further important information In Google's Design and Content
Guidelines which can be found here:
://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html

I noticed that your metatags were built by Scrub The Web. While they
offer a submission form, it would be best to submit to Google using
their form, as Google states in its Guidelines, "Don't use
unauthorized computer programs ... such as Web Position Gold™ that
send automatic or programmatic queries to Google."

While making no promises if and when your site may appear in Google's
search engine, they suggest having content rich sites with other sites
linked to yours and if you wish to submit, using their form to do so.

Greetings, gizmo11!

According to Google, there are NO other websites in its index which
contain links to -- or even text strings of -- 
http://www.financial-shopper-network.com .

Because of Google's secrecy, it is not known for absolute certain, but
the general consensus among webmasters is that Google only indexes
backward links for a page if IT has a Page Rank higher than 3, and
only indexes the backward links that are coming FROM pages with a Rank
higher than 3.
 
From Senior Forum Member "Beachboy" at WebmasterWorld: 
"Your index page is PR3, Google won't show any inbound links unless
the page you're doing the query on is PR4 or greater."

From Senior Forum Member "Birdman" at WebmasterWorld: 
"It is thought that Google only shows backlinks from pages that have a
pr4 or higher."
http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/7309.htm?highlight=inbound+links+higher
 
So, in order to improve your own Page Rank and get Google to index the
backward links to your site, you want to try to get other sites with a
Page Rank of 4 or higher to link to your site.
