I don't know why Google expects a space for "link: " and not for "site:", but it's the proper syntax. As well, for both commands keep in mind:
- As Chio mentioned, only indexed pages will show up as linking to you
- Google does not show *every* link it finds, only a "representative sample". So if it shows 40 pages linking to your domain, there are likely a lot more.
- Try the site: command on Yahoo for a comparison, you can get a better sample of sites linking to you using both SEs
- The site: function will include the TLD andr sub-domains (eg. sub1.domain.com,
www.domain.com, www2.domain.com)
- I don't believe the link: function is as reliable for sub-domains, it's best to use the sub in the command (e.g. "link: sub1.domain.com")
