Hi To all,
I was wondering how good our the link popularity checkers. I show as having 167 and 35 at Google under www.lingerie4two.com, but when I go to Google and push in lingerie4two it has like 255. Does anyone know the answer? Do I have only 35 links or 255, from Google? Please let me know if you do.

Thanks to all.

It's difficult to say becuase nowadays there's no query which can give accurate numbers.
Some queries like '@www.address.com' or ''+www.address.com' seem more relevant than others but I wouldn't bother the number of links.
If the page linking to you is indexed, then you can be almost sure the links counts and the anchor text is taken into account while determining your ranks.
