Is there a way to do this ?

    Hi ppl,

    I figure it is typical of G, but thought I'd ask how to structure this particular query just in case there's an angle I missed. G's data is both dated and close to useless, but:

    I want to check Google for the existence of a specific link within Site A that points to site B.

    On MSN I'd do (as a random example):
    link:http://www.onlinediscountmart.com/christmas.html site:digitalpoint.com

    On Yahoo I'd do (as a random example):
    linkdomain:http://www.onlinediscountmart.com/christmas.html site:digitalpoint.com

    On Google the above query (and a variety of others) obviously doesn't work, any ideas folks ??


    Cheers

    JL

    Nope, not possible to use queries or operators with the link: function in Google.

    MSN and Yahoo really should be enough anyway. Chances are you won't find any more results even if you could do that on Google.
