Google is only showing 3 backlinks for my site. However, I have many more than that. When I search my domain name and 'contain the term' hundreds come up, but only 3 come up when I click on 'link to'. And, the ones they show are not the best ones I have either. I have others that are more revelant to my site content and higher pr. Does anyone know what's up with this? Other search engines are showing over hundred backlinks. Just curious.
Google only exports the backlinks every so often, the same as Pagerank. You may have a lot more backlinks, but it's not visible to the public eye -- only Google.
Google shows only a sample of links to your site. Usually, internal links and cheaper ones... use Yahoo to have a better idea, chances are google will be aware of the links yahoo knows cause googlebot is usually more active than slurp... well on my sites anyway.
