Hi, My website has been up for almost 2 years yet I only show on backlink when I do Link:mydomain.com. My internal links do not show up there even though I have Google Sitemap.xml within my Root Directory. Should I have my domain name appear in each title tag or something in order for it to show up in the google backlinks? Or the keywords for my home page? Thanks
For historical reasons, the link: operator only shows the *number* of high quality links that point to the URL in question. Note that the pages shown in the results are not likely to be the sources of those high-quality links. For a more comprehensive list of the links that Google knows about, use the Links tool in the Webmaster Tools console or simply rely on the link: operator in Yahoo!.
I agree with Rainborick, the link: operator isn't the greatest way to show backlinks. It only displays a portion of the sites linking to your domain that Google knows about.
Try using Google Webmasters Tools, instep to check most of the backlinks for your website.. Both Internal and External links will show up there, and it's been updated just two days ago
The best way to check your backlinks is to use link:mydomain.com in yahoo. As far as your title tags it is recommended by google that your website name be in all of them. They should look like.. Site name - Page Name - Brief Description
