MSN.com Backlink Checking Strategies

[cogbuddy]

MSN results are right now powered by yahoo, so most of the command used in yahoo will imply for MSN too,

The 2 basic commands for backlink checking in MSN is link: and linkdomain:

Link: will display all links that MSN search knows for a particular page,

Linkdomain: will display all links that MSN search knows for a particular domain,

Next important search engine we will see is Alltheweb.com, Alltheweb was a powerful search engine before it was aquired by yahoo, Now that it is owned by yahoo the results in alltheweb.com is powered by yahoo, The important backlink command for alltheweb.com is

Link:w*w.anyurl.com

The above command will display all links to that particular page.

Firstly neither MSN results are powered by Yahoo! nor link: and linkdomain: command works in MSN search engine.
