How are backlinks calculated?

The google backlinks are page oriented, as is pretty much everything with google except bans and removals. So it's backlinks to the page.

It used to be it only showed backlinks from pages above pr4. Now, it intentionally obscures the backlinks, giving what is usually described as a "random sampling".

Nobody but the google engineers knows how the backlinks are actually chosen for display. So, you might as well assume it's random.
