    Can anyone explain why when i search for "links:example.com" I only get a fraction of the number of sites that are returned when I search "sites that contain" the term example.com even though most of these are backlinks?

    Thanks

    the link command is not updated as often as the site.
    the site command lists u all the link of ur website indexed in G.

    Nobody really knows how G determines which links to show in the link: command.

    It is clearly not updated as much as the actual index but there is a bit more to it I think.

    Use Yahoo or MSN to get your real links.
