Google has the function where by you could find the links to your site by entering the following to the search: site:http://yoursite.com How do you do it in Yahoo, and also MSN while i'm on topic. Thanks
you do it the same way but you have the command wrong, it should be link:http://www.yoursite.com in google as well, only they (MSN/Yahoo) work better because they show a more comprehensive listing of backlinks. in my experience msn is best. for example link:http://www.msn.com
well i do as follows yahoo : link:http://www.site.com Google: link:http://www.site.com or site.com link MSN: link:http://www.site.com
It's amazing how different the results are for each search engine. I performed this search with one of my .blogspot blogs and got the following results: Google-0 Yahoo-376 MSN-1,488 Anyways, thanks for the tips everyone
Yes, Google ignores links that contain the "nofollow" attribute, so you'll not see a comprehensive list of backlinks (especially from blog platforms which use rel="nofollow" by default. Which is a shame, but there you go...
usually i use "linkdomain:yoursite.com -site:yousite.com" in yahoo. that will exclude the links in your own sites.
Hi Tyler, My numbers are similar to yours. One site of mine - Google - 31 links Yahoo - 900 links (30 times as many) MSN - 3,000 links (100 times as many) A huge difference is observable, and the ratios are just like you said, for me.
