    Hi All,
    there was a thought in my mind for the latest days.
    Yahoo said to sort the inlinks by their importance using the link: operator. But it is far from my conviction. I don't think that would be true. I just can't remember where I read about it, or why I thought that yahoo would do so.
    Yesterday night I visited altavista and typed the domain after the link: operator. In my opinion the result order was more credible. So altavista display backlinks by their importance not Yahoo in my opinion.:rolleyes:


    What do you think about it?

    Do you know any search engine that would sort the inlinks by their relevance?:confused:

    I believe that Yahoo does sort by importance. But it is far, far, from perfect.

    As an example of it sorting by importance, you will usually see all the links you pick up from scraper sites listed last.
