I have a certain (limited) amount of backlinks atm, and am now turning my attention to getting lots more, now that I've finished with my onsite SEO project. When I do a google search to see how many sites are linking back to me , absolutley none appear, yet a certain amount do appear when I check with msn and yahoo. Why would this be ? a few sites linking to me - one in particular where they sell my service for a commission, is a very established site with high PR . But even that does not appear in google's list for me, which is empty ! I'm in a few decent directories too, but those too are absent. why aren't google recognizing my backlinks ? I'm not banned with them by the way .
It could be that your links are still very new...or a bunch of other suitable explanations to be honest. If you have a webmaster account, there are more accurate backlink reporting tools in there.
