When i am trying to find link popularity for a site using one tool from the website "http://www.sitereportcard.com/" it had used a new command to find the links..that is for example to find link popularity for a site called www.domain.com ...the command used by the search engine Google looks like ..... "www domain com" -site:www.domain.com/ so can we use this command to find the links?
link:www.site.com
it will show you the sites linking to www.site.com
Yahoo is easier. type in site:www.domain.com and you will be taken to the yahoo site explorer interface. This will give you lots of information about pages indexed, backlinks etc.
N.B. replace domain.com with the ACTUAL domain you are searching for :-)
