Check your back links in Live Search, Yahoo Web Search

Ashwini Khare - Saturday, June 16, 2007 -

Google recently updated its site links Google Webmaster tools{Sitemaps} which it does monthly.Not surprisingly my back links were some 1043. I had a quick look on Yahoo Site explorer results.{Backlinks 789}.


But according to Google Web Search, my backlinks range around 50 thats because Google Linking Index only displays those pages which are previously having a Page rank. I was pretty excited about viewing my back links in Live{MSN} Search. But unfortunately, Live search have disabled the old "link:" operator due to abuse of their technology and Yahoo Web search automatically redirects you to the Yahoo Site Explorer when you use "link:" operator

I received an anonymous tip in my mailbox that we can also view back links in Live Search by just changing the keywords.Have a look at this

Replace Link:webtalks.blogspot.com with webtalks.blogspot.com -site:www.example.com


Where webtalks.blogspot is your blog/site.Don't change example.com
Now view your results in Live Search and view your back links

You can also play around with Yahoo Web Search by Replacing
Link:webtalks.blogspot.com with "webtalks.blogspot.com" -"www.example.com"
Remember quotes are necessary.


Other Search Engines normally permit the "link:" operator but if you find any that doesn't leave back a comment

Hi,
Nice blog, I liked it. Also, wanted to drop in and say that Google is meesing my site up pretty bad www.livesteaua.com.
I was getting over 85% organic search, then Google decided to deindex my index page. The algoritm is changing, or am I just plain newbie???

I tried but it is not live or real time. Take long time for Google to retrieve the backlinks... :-(

I used to use that too with Goolge,
but I found it's not as accurate as you might think. Another source that I use regularly is www.smartpagerank.com
Out of all the Gar Bage out there :-)
I think smart page rank is the best!
