Can anyone shed some light on this. There are two stats with wildly varying data that I am trying to sort through.

2. If I do this link:www.realteensecrets.com, I get 3 only

Which one is used for PR?

Finding your backlinks by using link:www.realteensecrets.com on Google is pretty useless.

They intentionally keep many of your backlinks from showing up.  This has some benefit to you by keeping this information away from competitors, but I think they do this to keep people from buying so many backlinks and spending less on Adwords.

PR is going to be based on what shows up in your webmaster stats.  The link:www.realteensecrets.com will never show all the backlinks Google knows about.  This is completely normal.
