It was early. ;-) Francois, I probably should have included this quote from Matt…”The backlink tool doesn’t show 100% of the backlinks from Google yet, but I expect the number of links that are available to grow.”

It was early. ;-)

He also compared to Yahoo Site Explorer and adds: “I also tested some other sites, and Yahoo! tends to report more back links overall.” Aaron Wall offers 5 ways to use the link data. Steve Bryant: “Google has been doing an amazing job of cozying up to the developer and Webmaster communities in the last few years.” Ryan: “Webmasters, including myself, always enjoy knowing where their links are coming from, but Google’s search engine never seems to show all of the links to a specific site.” Andy Beal ponders: “So, question for Google, why in the world can’t we see ALL of our backlinks? We’re grown-ups, we can handle it.” [...] [...] RustyBrick points to Matt Cutts saying that just because a link is there doesn’t mean the link is carrying any weight.

I also see that if you have ROS links on another site such as a blog roll or another site in a network you have, it cuts off the number of links it shows from that site.

Matt didn't say that all the backlinks are not listed in this astonishing new tool, but that some of the links listed are not used by Google for any relevance computing by Google... so that backlinks that are recorded in Google database can be of no use at all... what I can easily imagine as some of my sites have an awful high level of backlink for a not so good positionning... At least, that's what I undestand from my non-english-natural-speaker point of view... If I am wrong, well... I can only improve by reading those blogs :-) Hi Andy,
