One of my sites stats: Yahoo Backlinks: 554 Altavista Backlinks: 583 Msn Backlinks: 80 Teoma Backlinks: 591 Google Backlinks: 3....... Do they only update every year or so?
Google do not show ALL the links they know about. Thety stopped doing that about a yea or so ago. Now google shows "a snapshot in time of a selection of the links it knows about" Those were the exact words spoken by Matt Cutts at an SES conference in London. So forget about using the link:domain feature on google as it is worthless.
yes,,google will not show all the links they know..this is to prevent seo's from tracking them and making use of them for seo link purposes.. some have called it the google ageing link delay..
