Google is killing me

seems everything is haphazard

[sportscolumn]

Hello everyone, I've been lurking for a while but decided I needed to do some ****ing today because I've been patiently waiting for this PR update and none seems to be coming. Also, I don't understand backlinks at all. I realize that not all backlinks show up but shouldnt a prominent PR8 site (Yahoo Picks) show up?

when i use the command link:www.blahblahblah.com, the link for the pick doesnt show. Yet, when I search "yahoo picks www.blahblabh.com" it does. Why does this happen?

I am pretty new to the PR "game" so it's a bit frustrating.

This backlink update is Google's new style of displaying baclinks and it seem to be the reverse of what it had done before. In many cases, there are more of low PR link pages than higher PR ones in G's sample of baclinks

There are a lot of discussion here:

No, not at this time.
