    link: & "exact search" results

    G'day all,

    When I try to determine how many sites link into one of my sites using the link:www.winecountry.com.au I get an answer of 80 links.

    When I try an exact search "www.winecountry.com.au" I get 672, all of which seem to be links.

    Which is more accurate in determining inbound links?

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Google has said MANY time that their search operators like link: are not accurate at all.
