when i check on google with: link:mysite.com google only shows one back link from forum i join. but, my site's internal link doesn't show at all. while i try to do the same thing to my competitor site, google counts its internal links as backlink. how can i put my internal link to show when i check my backlinks?
I am not sure but I think google gives each site on your website a value, depending on how many links point to this site, also the age, maybe also how many visitors go there through google. If this site has a high value the links will be counted. Maybe this post is better in the seo forum.
Just checked 3 of my Joomla sites...they all work. You probably don't have enough backlinks for them to show up. According to Webmaster Tools I have over 1,000 for one site and only about 300 show up on the list...so maybe it takes time. It's your site more than likely and not Joomla. Give it some time, they will show up.
This has nothing to do with joomla, i think this is rather a problem with a fairly new indexed website. google places you in the sandbox for a while anyway..
