Google Backlinks Question

ChristyB · 2003-11-18, 04:17 PM

Using google advanced search to get to the backlinks list will format the search query thus:
link:www.myd0main.c0m

If I insert a space before the domain....
link: www.myd0main.c0m

The number of links increases (from 28 to 1,500) and includes many low pr links but also some important ones like the google directory listing etc - more importantly it does NOT include the links shown under the first example!

Can anybody tell me why please?

I noticed it too. Not sure about the "why" part though.

I believe with the space it just acts like searching for the words "link" (without the ':') and "www.myd0main.c0m". At least that's what it seems to do with mine.
