How do I check the number of links to my site? I thought it was link:mysitename.com I haved "stumbled" and submitted to digg and wrote and submitted an article to ezine articles that was accepted and posted with my site in the bio box but nothing shows when it try to check links. Am I doing something wrong? The article has been up for 3 weeks and the stumble and digg submissions were 2 weeks ago.....
Google traditionally only shows a small sample of your backlinks. They usually don't show low quality links such as social bookmarking, forum signatures, articles, etc. To see more of your backlinks, either do the same link:domain.com search on Yahoo or check Google webmaster tools.
