google backlinks or webmaster tools links....what is imp???

[janegrath]

hi all,

i have one confusion...
It might be stupid question...but i want anyone of u to clear this doubt...

As all of us know backlinks are more important to rank well in google or any SE.

So which backlink google count for determining rank :

The links which we get from
1.link:www.domain-name.co.uk

or the links from
2. Google webmasters tool...

My second question is :
what is the difference between :

link:domain-name (get less backlinks)

link : domain-name (get more backlinks)

Thanks in Advance...
