Back Links Are Changing...

Back link update you see with the link: command or the PageRank export are not reflections of any internal changes. They are just updating what you're able to see.

That's why people often fail to see any correlation between ranking changes and increase in TBPR. The actual PageRank increase and ranking changes happened a long time ago.

Google's crawl depth, frequency, and "supplemental status allocation" depends mainly on PageRank. So site:/inurl: searches tells you as much as your toolbar might on the day of a TBPR export - except looking at search results is way more accurate than looking at the toolbar, because Google updates its DCs on a daily basis. 'Course if your site only has like 10 pages, you need other indicators.
