I never realized that

link:www.seethisitem.com
link:www.seethisitem.com/

would render different results so dramatically in msn. I was checking my links in msn and was wondering where all my links went, but then I put in the '/' and then I saw them.

without the '/' 230 links
with the '/' 732 links

You'd think search engines could figure out the two urls were the same, but guess not. Google and Yahoo seem to get it. I think MSN is pretty unreliable when it comes to showing backlinks. Google barely shows any and MSN shows links that aren't pointing to your site. Yahoo seems to be the most accurate of the three.

You are probably right since my backlinks in yahoo are in between the two extremes of google and msn.

I'm not one who generally thinks it's so important to know the count search engines are showing for my backlinks. Doesn't change that I'l always out there looking for more.

I do check though and I think Yahoo Site Explorer give the best count. It's a little different than what you'll find at the main Yahoo search engine, but pretty much in line.

I think what you say is right about the big three. Google doesn't show many at all. MSN shows a little too many and Yahoo gets it the closest.
