    Yes it's fairly normal. Yahoo update backlinks on a very regular basis, whereas Google only update them every so often (maybe every couple of months) - because of this there's usually a time lag between the links appearing in Yahoo and Google. Furthermore Google are picky about which links they display, so usually show fewer than Yahoo anyway. As for MSN, a few months ago they radically changed the way they display links on their SE - haven't quite figured it out myself.

    Google doesn't always show all the backlinks. The best way is to use Yahoo for this.

    The best way to check Google backlinks is to use Google's webmaster tools

    Yahoo is frequently updates is backlinks while google updates backlinks every 3 months but it doesn't display all of your links. You can only all of your links if you have an account in google webmaster tools. While in MSN I think they're not displaying any links anymore.

    Google dos not always showing your links total, you can use the Google Webmaster Tools for more accurate numbers.
