    How do you search for your own urls that are indexed?

    I thought it was something like:

    link:domain.com

    domain has been up for awhile, but that did not find anything.

    Thanks

    link:domain.com is just how you search your domains within Google. If you want to check another way of viewing URLS that are linking to your site, check out the Yahoo application:
    http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/ and just type in your website URL.

    Yep, use the site command. If you want to see backlinks, use yahoo site explorer.

    thats odd, the domain is about 2 years old, and only shows 2 link-backs...
    I can see why people have problems making money online...you would
    think after 2 years, it would be a lot more indexed...

    Did you mean 2 backlinks or 2 indexed pages?

    site:domain.com = check indexed pages in Google

    link:domain.com = check link popularity in Google

    If you have two only 2 backlinks being shown, you should consider yourself luckier than someone who cannot have even a single link for his 3 years website. (My friend's site anyway).

    Google has a much more restriction with link that counting towards your website. This is a sign that most of the links you acquired are low qualities and you may need to fine tune your linking strategy somehow.
