back link search question on google

[mahacan]

hi
what's the difference between
link:www.anonymailer.net
and
link: www.anonymailer.net (has space after colon)

(I guess the first one true for looking up to back links)

[bogs]

link: www.anonymailer.net (with space) is consider as search query.
and link:www.anonymailer.net (w/out space) is a google search operators that will list web pages that are "similar" to a specified web page.

If I remember correctly both return the same result.

But there shouldn't be any spaces between link: and the url and domain.

I would also try to reduce that to link:anonymailer.net as it's a more general term, and you would also be listing pages with backlinks to http://anonymailer.net and not just http://www.anonymailer.net
