Using the Linkdomain: command on MSN
by Paul Flyer
Who links to your site?
With MSN’s linkdomain: command, you can find everyone who links to your complete SITE (all pages) not just to an individual page on your site.
I am not sure whether MSN ranks these links in any manner, but it seems like more important links come first, especially in the first two pages or so.
How to use linkdomain?
It is fairly simple:
- Make sure you are on www.msn.com (note: I know some of you already typed it into your default search engine which is Google :-P.) It won’t work on Google or Yahoo. Linkdomain is MSN search engine specific.
- In the search box type:
linkdomain:www.yoursite.com
make sure there is no space between the colon and the first ‘w’.
- click Search
- Study your backlinks to your hearts content.
Now, want a more useful way to use this command other than looking at your own backlinks? Look at someone elses. Who is your ‘competition’ linked by? Do they have links from sites that you should? Make a list of those sites and email them a thoughtful (and personal) email asking them to look at/link to your website.
