So far I’ve come across three reasons why Google under-reports backlinks:

1. Google only gives credit for what they consider to be high quality links. An example of a high quality link when a website links to an article or product description on your website because it has relevant information.
2. Google only gives credit to web pages with a page rank of 4 or higher. I would take this claim with a grain of salt because ther is sooo much mis-information about page rank out there. To learn more about what page rank is and how to use it, read this post about page rank on the High Rankings forum by Scottie Claiborne.
3. Google Deliberately under-reports backlinks. Read the post “Why Don’t My Links Show Up in Google?”
