Steve Ok steve then how come i get this much difference in my link count can you suggest some of your ideas. Are you using Site Explorer or Yahoo search? If you're using Site Explorer then select Inlinks >> Show Inlinks [except from this domain] to see just your inbound links.
And yes, it's not uncommon for the results to differ from time to time. Not sure if it's the result of multiple data centers or different indexes but not something I would concern myself with.
"Quantity" is much like Google's Foolbar; it's a metric that should be ignored. Work on the quality of the inbound links. A handful of solid inbound links can do wonders for your ranking. If you're focusing just on quantity, you'll find yourself asking "why" quite often.
