    Hi all
    It`s about week or two MSN doesn`t show anything on the link: command. Does anybody know what`s the problem with them?
    Thanks! :)

    :( It`s a pity... I was using this to check my competitors back links all the time :D What should we do now :confused: I think their new "Webmaster Section" will be ready in some time, but "some time" could be month or more... :confused:

    I understand that MSN no longer responds to the query Link:command, but when I checked my backlinks at Marketleap, I had 0 MSN backlinks; down from 400+ the previous week. The Google and Yahoo backlinks climbed slightly.

    During the most recent Google reconfiguration, my site dropped from PR3 to PR2.
    On one hand I hope it's due to the recent lose of MSN backlinks, on the other hand how do you get the links back?

    Your help is always appreciated

    I don't think that any of the software solutions that check backlinks for MSN are valid anymore - I've used Web CEO in the past and it no longer even tries to check backlinks for MSN.

    I've been observing this for the past 10 days, i thought it was just my mistake. So its MSN's mistake.

    It's not really a "mistake"; it's being done intentionally.

    Despite whatever it is that MSN is doing, the page rank of my web site went up a notch last week to a PR3.

    Please check, MSN link command is working already as well as the inbound links.

    Have you personally checked it. There is an official announcement from MSN to stop this service.

    The link command no longer works. However, if you want to search for back links, you can use Live Search and run the following query:

    www.domain-name.com -domain:www.domain-name.com

    This will however, only get you URL links, and not all links.
