    Why does Google show only 6 of my many backlinks?

    Hi Google only seems to display 6 backlinks to my main page, www.mightygrip.ca it used to be many more.
    Yahoo shows 40+

    My SERPs have dropped out of sight on google and great on MSN, yahoo,Ask......

    Could I be in the sandbox?
    My site has been up for about a year, I was previously doing AMAZING # 1 on google.ca for many of my kW.
    All of a sudden, whooosh in the toilet.

    I had been working very hard to tweak and SEO this site, I am new to SEO but is it possible I over optimized?

    I am really frustrated, any advise would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Scott

    If I'm not mistaken, Google only shows backlinks that have PR > 0.

    No, Google is not showing only backlinks that have PR > 0.
    Actually, Google counts all the backlinks that crawler can find for your site but shows only a sample of your backlinks. If you'd like to see them all go to MSN and check them by typing link:www.yourdomaincomeshere.com in the search box.

    Does MSN use Google for SE results?
    I used the link: command, in msn, and it returns different results if you keep searching repeatedly.



    Thanks

    I think my main page is in the sandbox.
    I was doing great in SERPs now c##p, my main, barely shows up in Google, but does well in most other SE's
    My google PR bar isn't grey, and shows pr 3 which seems to fluctuate between 2-4

    Could someone look at my site www.mightygrip.ca and give suggestions or advise as to what happened.

    Thanks

    At this time Google's link: command is all messed up. Back in the day it used to only show links with PR > 4, but these days it only seems to show the crappy links.

    Scott,
    How old is your website?

    It has been up for about a year, first 4 months low serps
    Next 6 months, 1st page for more than a doz. keyword on Google.ca
    Last 2 months, my main page is showing on page 10+ although other pages are higher in SERPs.
    I think my main page may be in the sandbox.

    When your in the sandbox, does google not show all inbound links??
    Thanks

    I don't think the sandbox has much to do with how many links are shown. You just have to get more related links. What are your target keywords?
