New LinkFromDomain: command on Microsoft's Live.com

[Wit]

I just read this on TW and I'm loving it already.

MSN/Live.com is the first SE to have come up with a special search that lists outbound links from a given domain:

linkfromdomain:somedomain.tld

In the old days, you could get these from a "spider simulator", but that involved a lot of work and scraper coding hehehe.

As an example, it shows that I'm not THAT generous with my outbound links LOL. But I expect sites with recip links pages to have a lot of results.

Pretty decent little special search, if you ask me. Nice complement to link:http:// and linkdomain:

Just a side note... check without the 'www' part... - as wit mentioned -

Gotta spread. Nice find, linking to quality sites I see.

Thanks again Wit... This became a new blog to my small site and with some more additional information you can find it here.


One example of using this new additional search option is here...to find the list of pages for From Domain X Where Are the Link Destinations on Domain Y?

A nice search combination of this new search with the sitedomain: search is implemented here....

Generous enough for me...

In the old days Google used to have something like this I think it was named flink, but I am not sure about that anymore. It was so nice, you just couldn't believe, that they removed it in the beginning of 99. I hope the people at Google makes this command available for us again it is on the top of my wishlist.

that's nifty.

Now I'll get to look at this for all my competitors and try and make sense of it vis a vis serps....at least at msn.

But...first it said 239 outbound links and only showed 55. And some of them haven't been on the site for a while. hmmmm.

may not be totally up to date.
