How google searches for backlinks?

    I did a search for backlinks on google and it shows 0. However when i searched on another website such as Backlink Watch, it shows i have about 7000 backlinks on Allthweb & Altavista but 0 backlinks on google, yahoo & MSN.

    What does this mean?

    My blog is very new about 25 days old but its already linked with high PR sites. Can someone explain me how this works? and when i can expect to see some backlinks in google?

    Google doesn't show correct data. Forget about Google and use Yahoo to get your link data.

    I got data on yahoo and it seems to be alright.

    But my google PR is 0 :-( Of course i cant expect PR to go up so soon. Its just 25 days..lol.

    Hopefully it will be better after a couple of months?

    As mad4 says, Google will never list all the backlinks that it knows about to your website, so you should use Yahoo or MSN. I really wish someone put this FAQ as a sticky in the forum...

    The next PageRank update is predicted to be later this month (though no one can be certain).

    Cryo.
