Checking Links To site

Hello
Can somebody help with this one.. I have a site called Carp fishing holidays in France and have built 1000's of links to it..

BUT when in google and I type Link:Carp fishing holidays in France it says no links. If i use Links:Carp fishing holidays in France it showas them. I asked a SEO company and they said this below. Anybody agree ???

Try link: instead of links:

See explanation here: Difference between link: and links: command
“Link: operator is the command to see backlinks your site have. but when you type it as links:sitename.com then it is searched like a keyword. I mean to say google will search pages with phrase "link", "links", "sitename" etc. This will obviously show more results because it is now a generalized search query rather than a command.”

And here: Link: or Links: Search - what's the difference? Google SEO News and Discussion forum at WebmasterWorld
“the syntax for the special operator is link:example.com - with no space between the operator and the domain. If you use links: or vary the syntax in any other way, you are performing a regular keyword search for the character string.”

What i am saying here is if Link:www.sitename is correct I have no links and I build 1000's of them and payed people on here money for some of them.. Link:www.sitename can't be right my site has no links ???

    Try this:

    Backlinks Checker Tool - Backlink Watch

    I use it and it is quite accurate.

        Hi, type links:wwwdotsitenamedotcom on Google if you want to check there

        Are you sure the links you built have not expired or were on pages that might have gone down?

          Hi,
          Well, the links have been built over a 12 month period, web 2.0,articles,blog comments, profiles... So I know the link:mysite.com cannot be correct... worrying thing is that the backlink checker you showed me only picked up 35 links.. Heres the thing when I check with Market Samurai it shows 12,000 links which would be right... all very strange this...

            The most worrying thing about this is many of these link forum profile links, web 2.0,articles,social boookmark links were purchased from this forum and I mean 100's of them.. so just effective are they...

            I build my own links now....

    Yes use the link: operator and alexa.com is also great for checking your top backlinks and competitors.

    Use ahrefs.com OR domain-pop.com. ahrefs.com is very good tool with some limitations as they provide paid service. I like domain-pop.com reason is it is free and accurate.

    There is no 100% correct way to check. Every database will give you different results.

    Google Webamster Tools does that as well. link:yourdomain.com never shows all the links, only a portion of it and sometimes even none even if you have some.
