As far as the link command goes, Google only lists a small random sample of the links pointing to your site. It's generally better to use the link: command at Yahoo since Yahoo shows more of your links. Google does know about all or very close to all of your links. They won't show them all though. Assuming the pages of your site are easily spidered Google should know about them even if they aren't showing up when you use the link: command. You can see more of the links Google knows about your site by signing up for <a href="https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=sitemaps&hl=en&continue=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fwebmasters%2Ftools%2Fsiteoverview%3Fhl%3Den&nui=1" rel="nofollow">Webmaster Tools</a>, which will show much more information about your backlinks.

If it lists only the inbound links, how do you get pages from that domain being listed. If you are searching for link:www.abc.com there would be some pages from www.abc.com being listed in the search results. I am confused as my competitors have more number of their pages listed like this... Regards, Debi I am more concerned with the link: operator of Google.
