When you do the related:yourdomain.com command, what exactly is that telling you? many of the sites I see in that command are sites that have links to my site but they are not the same as in the "link:" command. Does google see these sites as being interlinked or something? Lisa
They see them as similar in topic, usually. I've had some sites related to each other and they had only been linking to each other. After time has gone by, normally only related links are sites similar to that one. Linking or not linking.
