    Hi,

    I get zero results when doing a search for "link:mysite.com" in google, and I have over 200 backlinks.

    I also tried "link:www.mysite.com", still nothing.

    What can that be?

    Thx
    Dantes

    Google no longer displays all a sites backlinks when using the link: search - to find out all backlinks for your site that Google recognises, register for Google Webmaster Central, add and verify your site and take a look at the "Links" tool.

    Yes I did that, and there are plenty of links visible. :)

    So it's not a bad thing. :)

    Thank you

    Googles shos very few backlinks and updates like once in 3 month (ysualy when PR update happens) so don't count on it

    Use yahoo they show olmost evry backlink

    MSN also shows all of the links.

    Google will show some, but it seems to be an arbitrary amount of them. I remember reading way back when that they hid the results of that search to protect the integrity of their algorithm. Go figure..

    This returns the internal pages for the domain. To verify the backlinks you should try: "linkdomain:www.yoursite.com".
