    i just typed link:www.prodirectsoccer.com/keeper.asp on google to find out how many backlinks that site has. the result only shows it's internal links. but, when i tried link:mysite.com, it doesn't show my internal links at all. how can this happen? how to get my internal links show on the result?

    thanks!

    Google decides on those. Especially the internal links factor, we cannot control. It is up to Google algorithm to determine which links are supposed to be worthwhile and which links are discounted.

    It is a rarely time Google would show internal links toward your homepage via link: operator, unless your main domain is a big one. If you want to know exact number of internal linking toward your main domain then you have to see it through Google Webmaster Tools instead.

    thanks all! so, if a site's internal links are shown, that means that site is big? then, i wouldn't compete with such a site..

    Google will not show everything to avoid further SERP manipulation
