Links to other pages and the link:site.com command

did you ever notice this?

[ikbenhet1]

ok, suppose i have site x.com linking to site y.com, okay.

Now google has this command, link.

when i type link:y.com , x.com should appear right, cause it linking to it? it doesn't.
When i tried this command last month google showed me 1 result??
but this month that one is gone.

how come this result appeard, couse lots more sites link to me and they don't appear? why don't they appear?

Hi
They don't bother showing you all the links in, usually only those with pr4 or more.

The site that was showing last month may have dropped pr below 4?

There is a theory that only links from sites with pr4+ count as a link in.

The linking site also needs to be in googles index I'm afraid.

[ikbenhet1]

of course the linking sites must be listed in google , if they weren't listed i wouldn't be bothering you guys with this.

i noticed also that it is not true that it has to be pr4 of higher, because there are pr6 & 7 sites linking to it and they don't showup either, but they are listed in google.

probably the guessed page rank issue again.

It would almost be nice if the guessed pagerank was a slightly different shade of green or something so those in the know could see the difference and those it doesn't matter too would never notice.

link:www.mysite.com

is different than

link:mysite.com

Try both.

[ikbenhet1]

no, nothing.

maybe he was right that the site that is linking must have pr >4 to be shown in the link:mysite.com results.

i don't know
