Backlinks not showing

[b3pot6_gmail.com]

I have a website that is almost 2 months old and during this period I have built 477 links to my website.. however when I do a backlink check on Google.. link:mydomain.com, it says that there are no matches. How is it possible that none of my back links are indexed by Google?

We recently had this problem with two sites belonging to new clients.

As it turned out (I think)  because these sites had what appeared to be text link ads on the home pages (2 each) and both had a rather large "links"  page,  GWM  had stopped showing all thier back links. That is a BAD SIGN of things to come!  We fixed it, and the links are back.

So... does your site sell links?  does it look like it might be selling links?  Could be the issue?

The link: command in Google only shows a small sample of the links to your site. You'll get a better (but still not complete) report by verifying your site in Google Webmaster Tools and looking at your links through there.
