hey!
when I check out google to see the number of backlinks of my site, I saw only 1!!
but when I test it in other tools (many tools) I've found that I've more than 500 backlinks.
Is google re-upload my site in its server?
anywhere I'm still getting good place in top 5 in many keywords, but I'm worry to continue build backlinks without attract google to see them, what do you think?

    Google will never show you all the backlinks to your site. In many cases they won't show you very many at all.

    Use webmaster tools. That is the best chance to see links from Google. However, just because Google isn't showing you them doesn't mean that they aren't seeing and counting them.

    Google doesn't show webmasters all the links to their site because that would make it easier for people to reverse engineer the algorithm for SEO purposes.

    Q: I have [thousands/several/at least two] links to my site, but when I search on Google it says I have [zero/not that many] links. What gives?
    A:
    If you do a Google search using the link: operator [link:example.com], you'll see a sampling of pages that link to your site. For a more complete list of pages that link to yours, verify your site in and check out the link reports. Note that, although these reports are more comprehensive than a link: query, they may not include 100% of all links that you know about. This is normal and you don't need to worry about it. Webmaster Tools does not always show 100% of the links that Google knows about, so just because a particular link doesn't appear in Webmaster Tools doesn't mean that Google doesn't know about that link, or that your site isn't "getting credit" for that link.

    "Why does not Google show?" - Entirely Google decision and we can only guess. I don't know whether making a good guess matters - because no matter what we guess, the answer to "does Google show?" would remain the same as today.

    But if the question is "does Google find?" - I suppose yes, if the question is "does Google count?" - I would hope yes again.

    So let the other tools show backlinks and let Google keep counting them - it is perfect for me
