Blogspot doesn't count backlinks??

I have a blogspot blog with a custom domain name, which I've added into directories and a few bookmarking sites. However Alexa is still showing that I only have 1 link, pointing back to blogger.com. Is this because it's a free hosting platform even though I have it pointed to a custom URL?

    A bunch of different ones (including Blogger, owned by Google). What made me check into it is that I have new site that has only two bacllinks, one of them was from a blog and that backlink appers to have disappeared in the last update.

      I don't understand what you're saying... I have a Blogger blog with a custom domain that I know for sure has more than 1 backlink. Yet Alexa only shows that it has 1 and that comes from blogger.com.

      So my concern is since my blog is free hosted, any backlinks that it has does not get recorded, which is what Google will see.

      I heard forum sigs don't get counted by Google though. Anyone know the answer to my question?

    Seriously? you're using Alexa to check your backlinks?
    Use site explorer from Yahoo and you'll see a more accurate report.
    Forum signatures do show up as backlinks but their value is obviously deteriorated if most of them come from the same forum.
