Advanced link checking strategies with Search Engines

 

Yahoo Backlink Checking Strategies


 

As we all know yahoo is the 2nd best search engine out there,their crawler is next to Google's crawler in actively crawling and indexing sites, let us look into link checking with yahoo. Yahoo Slurp (yahoo crawler) though active wont crawl as deeply into a site as googlebot ( google's crawler). So they miss a lot of links pages which are created specifically for link exchange purposes,


So even if yahoo is not evil in displaying random sampling of backlinks they dont show the backlinks from all the sites due to the lack of deep crawls.


Ok here are some typical ways to check backlinks in yahoo.There are 2 backlink checking commands in yahoo. One is the link:command and the other is the linkdomain:command.

 

link:
This command in yahoo displays links to the page.

syntax:

linkdomain:www.anysite.com

linkdomain:http://www.anysite.com

 

linkdomain:
This command in yahoo displays links to the entire domain.

syntax:

linkdomain:www.anysite.com

linkdomain:http://www.anysite.com

 

There are some advanced ways of using this command, We can exclude some site urls. Yahoo is very generous on these things.

 

linkdomain:

llinkdomain:www.anysite.com -site:www.anysite.com.This will display links to site excluding the url mentioned in the -site

llinkdomain:www.google.com -site:www.google.com

Suppose if you have not set any 301 redirect and the site has 2 versions.One without www version and the other with www version,then we have to check for both versions separately,


Search engines consider www.yoururl.com different from yoururl.com.It is because www.yoururl.com is considered as the sub domain of yoururl.com,To exclude this type of duplicate pages in the backlink checking we can use something like linkdomain:www.anysite.com -site:www.anysite.com -site:anysite.com.

 

Yahoo does allow queries with more than 10 words.Google has a restriction of queries with more than 10 words.This is a bad decision from google.There are many people who search with more than 10 words in the search query and those type of searches are cut down to 10 words. I say this because the following command will have more than 10 words in the search query.

linkdomain:www.anysite.com -site:www.anysite.com -site:anysite.com -site:linkingsite.com -site:www.linkingsite.com

The above search query will exclude same site links from the backlinks as well as any particular site you want to exclude from your backlinks. It is very useful especially if you want to exclude any site where you have bought text link ads or site wide links.

 

linkdomain:www.anysite.com -inurl:keyword or keyword phrase

The above search will exclude any site from the backlink check which has the keyword or keyword phrase in the URL or their domain name,

 

For example

Linkdomain:www.google.com –inurl:froogle

The above search will exclude backlinks with the keyword froogle in their URL or domain name,

Linkdomain:www.google.com –inurl:blogger google

The above search will exclude backlinks with the keyword phrase blogger google in their URL or domain name,

linkdomain:www.yoururl.com –intitle:keyword

The above search will exclude sites with the particular keyword in their URL in the backlink checking,

 

For example:

linkdomain:www.google.com -intitle:google

The above search will exclude all back links with the word google in title

 

Now we will see the link: function.This function behaves similar to the linkdomain: function, the only difference this function will show links pointing only to that particular page we are checking backlinks,

 

For example:

Link:http://www.google.com

The above command will show all links pointing to the URL www.google.com that yahoo knows of.

Link: command can also be used with other advanced features.

 

link:http://www.anysite.com -site:www.anysite.com.This will display links to the checking page excluding the internal pages of that site.

 

Example:

link:http://www.google.com -site:www.google.com

The above example will show all links pointing to that particular page excluding the internal pages of that domain.

Suppose if you have not set any 301 redirect and the site has 2 versions, One the without www version and the other with www version, Then we have to check for both versions separately,Search engines consider www.yoururl.com different from yoururl.com. It is because www.yoururl.com is considered as the sub domain of yoururl.com.

 

To exclude this type of duplicate pages in the backlink checking we can use something like

link:http://www.anysite.com -site:www.anysite.com -site:anysite.com

The above command will exclude all pages from the same site which will help us to measure the exact
links yahoo knows from other sites linking to us.Yahoo does allow queries with more than 10 words, Google has a restriction of queries with more than 10 words.There are many people who search with more than 10 words in the search query and those type of searches are cut down to 10 words.

 

Check the following command which has more than 10 words in the search query,

link:http://www.anysite.com -site:www.anysite.com -site:anysite.com -site:linkingsite.com -site:www.linkingsite.com

The above search query will exclude same site links from the backlinks as well as any particular site you want to exclude from your backlinks. It is very useful especially if you want to exclude any site where you have bought text link ads or site wide links.

 

link:http://www.anysite.com -inurl:keyword or keyword phrase

The above search will exclude any site from the backlink check which has the keyword or keyword phrase in the URL or their domain name,

 

For example

link:http://www.google.com –inurl:froogle

The above search will exclude backlinks with the keyword froogle in their URL or domain name,

link:http://www.google.com –inurl:blogger google

The above search will exclude backlinks with the keyword phrase blogger google in their URL or domain name,

 

Next:

link:http://www.yoururl.com -intitle:keyword

The above search will exclude sites with the particular keyword in their URL in the backlink checking,If the linking site has that keyword in their title then those sites will be excluded from the backlink search.

 

For example:

link:http://www.google.com -intitle:google

The above search will exclude all back links with the word google in title

 

Next:

link:http://www.yoururl.com "keyword phrase"

The above search will return backlink pages with that particular keyword phrase in it.

 

For example:

link:http://www.google.com "search engine company"

The above search will return backlink pages with search engine company in it,
