    Hello,
    Out there is different comments about how search for the reciprocal links in Google. I noticed the following search, but the problem is with each one I get different results.

    links: www.domain.com
    links: domain.com
    link: www.domain.com
    link:domain.com

    My question is: Which is the correct way to look for all reciprocal links Google is crediting my site?

    Thanks
    Far

    Mad4's answer is right on target as usual. However if you wish a more comprehensive list of sites linking to your site and its subpages you may want to visit...

    http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/

    It will give you a good idea as to how many sites link to you that "G" does not show in their link results. I do suspect that "G" credits you with all the links they have indexed but, just doesn't show them to you in the results...

    Thanks guys for the posts.

    Actually I'm wondering about G. Here is something I want share with you.

    In G link:www.domain.com counts 810, in MSN it counts 16,003 which is something pretty much closer to what I guess is the quantity of sites pointing to my website.

    Now, as G only shows up a small percentage, are only these 810 links the ones G recognize for my site?
    I mean, the others links G is throwing away?

    Thanks

    Google knows about all your links. They just don't show them.
