Google will not display all your backlinks as what Yahoo does...You can only check your backlinks wether it increases or not after the google backlinks update.

Can someone explain why Yahoo's backlinks are this much higher?
Thanks a lot for your help.
google shows a random sample backlinks but you can see the real number of your backlinks in google webmaster tools. I believe google do this to avoid other sites spy on the links of their competitors.

google is not very good in telling you the number of links going to your site. that however does not mean they are not seeing them or counting them out.
