Links to my site ignored by Google

Link on PR4 page found, but not counted

[CompGuy3000]

Google has found one link to my site (so far), because this particular site, that has my URL in the link text to my site, appears when I search for pages containing my URL. And in Google's cache version, I see my link there also.

So Google has found the page linking to me, sees my URL, but does not count it as a link!

The page has a PR4, so it should appear when using the link: command, right?

My page's PR has remained zero, too, so I doubt any PR has been transfered.

It's not necessarily expected for the links to show. It sounds like it's just too soon; give it a month or so more.

Well, I have been waiting for about a month, so let's hope something happens soon! Thanks.

On one of my sites I have up to 10 links pointed to me that have a PR of 4 or above. Some have a PR 6. These sites have never appeared using the link: in the search. This has me concerned, but since the site ranks well, I never really paid attention to it.

Out of the 100 or so links coming in. only about 20 show up using link:.

I think that on G the link: is not very accurate.

Instead of starting a new topic, I am expanding on this one.

I have two issues:

Issue 1:
I have a site, about 3 months old. Site has many good links pointing to it but Google link command only shows 4 links. Site is PR 5 for every page. When I click "contains the term: myurl.com" all of the pages with my link comes up.

The site does not rank for any terms at all. Don't know if its b/c of the so-called filter or b/c site is too new and/or its links are not showing up.

Issue 2:
Before filter update, my other site was ranking great for targeted terms. My link total was what is was supposed to be.

After the update all but 5 of my links have disappeared and my site is all but gone from results.

Am I gone from SERPS b/c of lack of links and/or is my lack of links a result of the filter or both?

Bump,

Input is appreciated.

The page has a PR4, so it should appear when using the link: command, right?

Is it a page named links.htm? Or does it reside in a sub-directory called /links/. How many other links are on that page? Does it look like your typical links page that is used mostly for the benefit of PR? Too many variables involved to determine why the backlink is not showing.

These days, backlinks in Google are very difficult to track. Ever since they realized PageRank was being undermined, backlinks have never been the same.
