    Hi

    I was wondernig why it is that when I do a search for links, I get 307 results using this syntax:
    +www.domainsocial.com

    But I get 0 when I explicitly search for backlinks:
    site:www.domainsocial.com

    Does anyone know why this is?

    Thanks

    Zach

    No results come up..

    But what I want to know is why google clearly knows the links exist, but does not list them as links?

    Google has a policy of not showing all the links it knows about, don't worry about it and just use yahoo.
