I am Curious to know who links to my website, I've also read in some of blogs that there is a way by which we can use search engines by typing in linkdomain:"your site" but it doesn't seem to work, yet I know I have links out there. please someone guide me in this matter.
The uses the following algorithm such as link: operator. But it reports erratically. It's most likely that it won't know of links to your site if both of these conditions are not fulfilled as far as i know the algorithm:
- you site is already well indexed.
- the sites that link to you are already well indexed.
Note that this search is not all-inclusive of the web but should give you a good idea of your website's popularity:
link:WEBSITE_URL
Here is the example about how to see who links to yahoo.com, enter this search query:
link:yahoo.com
You may also use the following method to find out inbound links of a page in Yahoo, use this command:
linkdomain:yourdomainname
Or, use this command to see the links of a page, except the links from other pages on the same site:
linkdomain:your yourdomainname -domain:yourdomainname
A slick new "Visibility Index" opened recently on the web and you should try it today. It measures your website's visibility online by counting up all the links to your site. A great way to see the inbound links of multiple pages at Google, Inktomi, AltaVista, AllTheWeb, and Teoma is to use, An online link popularity checker that will show you the total number of inbound links (but not details) ffrom Google, AltaVista, MSN, AllTheWeb, and Yahoo.
