Link: Command at Major Search Engines
It is always worthwhile to see who is linking to a site. Best bets for running the link
command are the biggest search engines because, you guessed it, they have the
biggest databases! If you get too many hits, try limiting the search by restricting the
results to a specific domain or adding a keyword when permitted (Google does not
permit the use of keywords with its link: command). All these search engines use the
same syntax for link searching, i.e., link:, but remember , Yahoo has two link
commands.

Also, the Yahoo Site Explorer is extremely good at showing "inlinks" to an entire
domain or just a specific urI. Unlike Google, Yahoo Site Explorer provides all the
links to a site (which Yahoo calls "inlinks") instead of a limited subset of links.
Yahoo Search:
~ link: restricts results to pages containing links to a specific urI. Yahoo
requires users to enter the full urI including the http:// for the link:
command. May be used with or without additional keywords and syntax.
