link:www (dot) yourdomainname (dot) comwill get your backlinks, but not accurate Google webmaster tools will show you all links
google link: take about 3 months to show links... u can also search sites link to you by placing your link in "mydomain.com" . it will show links where u have put links directly with your url
Use google webmaster tools or yahoo site explorer to find all your back links. Link: operator don't how many links, for example, I have 12000+ back links in google webmaster tools, but link: operator only show about a 100 back links only.
nope it’s not work like operation of site link operation have different between domain.com and www.domain.com also google not showing all data of backlinks with this operation it better to use google webmaster tool for that and better from that using yahoo site explorer.
