google backlinks question

hi all

little question for all you SEO folk out there

Im a little confused about backlinks, if i type for instance link: then my domain name into google, it only shows up very little links back, however I know my website link is on many more websites, directories etc,

does google only show backlinks that it takes into consideration when working out page rank/listings etc?

this might be a really stupid question, but im quite new to alot of this SEO stuff

In Google, the link command displays only a SAMPLING of your backlinks.

In addition, Matt Cutts (from Google) mentioned back in 2005 that although originally they only displayed a sampling of PR4 or above backlinks, they changed to also including lower PR pages, but still just a sampling.

Quote:
"Only SEOs and librarians do backlink searches. Historically we decided to dedicate a subset of our servers to backlinks. Only a sampling of backlinks would be displayed but only for a threshold of PageRank 4 or higher pages. A suggestion was made to show backlinks for lower PageRank pages too. We liked that idea so we now show a random sampling of backlinks, including low PageRank scoring pages too. We show twice as many backlinks as shown before, but still it’s only a sampling of the backlinks."
Matt Cutts at SES San Jose 2005
