Just wanted to update everyone especially that the link command from MSN/live.com search is back again with a bit change in the command. Its also showing more accurate number of backlinks to a website rather than yahoo which shows only a couple pages of results but shows heavy number count and google shows a very limited number which can originally be seen via the webmaster tools option.
Just use the following command to check out this feature in Live.com Search :
+link:www.botw.org – MSN Result Page Link
In case of yahoo and google search engine you need to give the normal command to check out the backlinks :
link:live.com
Here is some information from Live Search :
# link: Finds sites that have links to the specified website or domain. This is useful for determining who links to whom. For example, to find pages that contain the word games and that link to Microsoft.com, type games link:microsoft.com.
# linkdomain: Finds sites that link to any page within the specified domain. Use this keyword to determine how many links are being made to a specific page, as well as how those links are made. For example, to see pages that link to Microsoft.com, type linkdomain:micosoft.com.
# linkfromdomain: Finds sites that are linked from the specified domain. Use this keyword to determine how many links are being made from a specific page, as well as how those links are made. For example, to see pages that are linked from Microsoft.com, type linkfromdomain:micosoft.com.
Nice command Amit, never knew of such a command.Nice way to know back links.thanx
Nice update Amit… and i also found that LIVE has started accepting links to crawl by them … I submitted few of my sites and got many of the pages indexed in it… Live is very aggressive i believe…

I’m surprised by the comments as I thought almost nobody used LIVE. Isn’t it now called BING ?
