    Hello,

    I recently looked to see how many sites Google thinks link to mine - and got a figure of 33 - which is far lower than it should be.

    How can I check to see if Google is correctly counting my inbound links? Is there anything about my site that may be stopping Google counting them properly?

    Thanks,

    - Greg

    They only show 5% to 10% of what they actually know about.

    You can't. Like g1smd said, Google only shows you a fraction of the links they know about. They do that on purpose.

    For a more accurate count, though, use Yahoo! to check the backlinks of a site.

    Yep, you cant check all backlinks. Google only shows sample of backlinks. But while giving PR, it counts each link.
