First of all, make sure that links pointing to your site are not
rel="nofollow"ed (see ongoing discussion in the recent thread: "Google -
Code Jam"). Additionally, be aware that "link:site" only lists a *subset* of
links. Try the same syntax in Yahoo. They accumulate and make visible more
links, albeit most remain out of sight (/site!) while only the high number
stands.
Lastly, what is the value of your inbound links? They surely do not arrive
from 'islands' because your search for "+thewebsite.com" came up with some
results.
Hope it helps,
Roy
