Google Confusion?

[leef50]

Well im very confused... if I do a search in google for mydomain.net I get a lot of results returned. A lost of these are link backs ive recently added in the last week... Fair enough, google has just done an update and thats greate that its found these now...

THE PROBLEM
If I enter in link:http://www.mydomain.net I only get 2 results from my site returned and 1 result from a game programming site I developed years ago... how come my link: results for people linking back to me are not shown? Does this mean that google will not get my correct popularity during the next update? Or does it mean google is still messing with things and all should be ok soon?

Also, the 2 results returned from link: for my domain are different to the result shown if I type in just mydomain.net... it seems to have messed up the description of it... I will say I have a search box as the first bit of text on my page so maybe that is it? What do you guys/gals think about these issues?

Thanks

The link: search option only lists backlinks from PR4 and above sites.

Well I do have links from several PR4 and above sites... any ideas?

It could be a couple things:
- Maybe the link has not been seen by googlebot yet
- Maybe it's been seen by googlebot too late to appear in this dance
- Is it is direct link or a cgi pass-thru?

mess with the url. Drop the http:// and then try it without the www. You'll get quite a few varying results. As far as I've seen, the link command is somewhat unreliable or confusing at any given moment.

I think it may just be because it missed the last dance. Ill look again in a month and see what it throws up then.
