Link: Use it with a space or without space?

link: www.sitename.com and link:www.sitename.com shows different results on Google. Note in first query there is white space after link:

Which one is accurate?
Why results are different

 

I'm sure it's the FIRST one. link:URL with no space!

 

I'm also agree with you, sure it's the FIRST one. link:www.sitename.com

 

may i know what result you get from link: sitename.com?

 

I think

Link:www.yoursitename.com <------ this will show ONLY those pages where search engines found your site's link and it has assigned a PR to it.

Link: www.yoursitename.com <------- I think this shows ALL pages where search engines found your site's link but they have not assigned those pages any rank yet.

May be I am completely wrong here but this is what I think

 

Query: link:http://www.topnetranks.com/
Result: Results 1 - 6 of 6 linking to http://www.topnetranks.com/


Query: link: http://www.topnetranks.com/ (with space in query)
Result: Results 1 - 10 of about 13 for link: http://www.topnetranks.com
