Missing link: results in a Google Search

Do you have a site that you’ve indexed using a sitemap with the Google WebMaster Tools and the Google bots have come and trawled you site but when you put link:yousite.com into Google search you never get back the same amount?

Well don’t fret - Google purposefully only shows about 10% of the link: pages in the search. On top of that they only show Backlinks with a Page Rank of 4 (PR4).

If your site has been trawled by Yahoo - go over there and you’ll see all the backlinks - they don’t hide them.

I’m sure the index that google has of all the backlinks is still used to ultimately create your Page Rank - so don’t feel too disheartened.

I hope this little piece of information takes some of the confusion and stress out of all your hard backlink creation tactics!
