    Hi all,
    I am a relative newcomer with my first website at 10 months old and a PR of 4. Googlebot hits my site daily. In recent months I have been following all guidance and building quality back links. Could somebody explain why google would only display 2 of the 8 links? When I run the "link:" search it returns the following message "Results 1 - 2 of about 8 linking to www.mysite" and why there are so few when yahoo shows 43 back links and msn 92? Thanks

    It's google's policy only to show a sampling of your backlinks. As you've found already, Yahoo and MSN try to show more of them.

    McGee, you can always use this bottom link to see other links
    "repeat the search with the omitted results included"

    Use msn -- google is known to be slow and incomplete in presenting bl
