Google inbound links not showing up?

[ghankerson]

I have a few websites that I am linking to each for PR value. But when I check google for links to the pages (the search is - link:www.mydomain.com or link:mydomain.com) they don't show up. I am using links like this: <a href="http://mydomain.com/">Keyword</a>

Other websites links are coming up fine like that. Any thoughts? Does it take a few months for Google to process this?

Yes. Google will also only show links from pages with higher than PR 4. Try AllTheWeb to see all links.

Be careful when linking soley for PR, Google will not like it.

Hey thanks for the answer. I am trying to be careful who I link with. Right now my PR is 2. I finally figured out how to view it. I suppose that's better than 0.
